I have read a couple of threads where people were asking which turbo on RB26 for street/strip. I told them we were currently fitting a GCG 35/66 SPL on a GTR and that i would post results.. The car is finished and has been Dynod, unfortunately it ran out of injector at 13 PSI ( SARD 650cc) to my amazement, but made 275kw on Unigroups dyno. I drove the car today for the first time and was blown away by the torque, the same if not less lag than the standard twins, comes on strong and stays on right through too 8000rpm.

Very impressive, can reccomend this upgrade for anyone who is looking for a very streetable single turbo.

Car should see well over 320kw with a bit more boost.

other mods include :

APEXI D-Jetro

Bosh 044 fuel pump

eBoost

custom 3" dump pipe

turbosmart 48mm wastegate

Hi flow cat into 4" exhaust.

Tomei Inlet and exhaust cam gears.

Thanks to unigroup for excellent tune and John for his patience.

ran out of fuel using 650cc's @ 275rwkw?

What went wrong?

Was it fuel pump or a fruited fuel reg or something?

650's should bring home mid high 300's :ermm:

seconded ..

294 rwkw here with 550cc and 044 pump..

think the injectors are trimmed to like 70 % and only reach about 90% duty ..

but yeah anything that spools up at the same or earlier than std turbos and produces more power would be a nice streetable setup.

No, pump is in, have been in contact with saard supplier, we all agree 650cc should be ample. possibly supplied wrong injector. They are sorting it out. But that was not the purpose of this thread.

Ah, that would explain it ;)

Runs 66mm compessor wheel in ar.80 cover and ar82 turbine housing.

Ill upload some pics now.

Ill post dyno sheet when tune is completed.

Manifold is a stainless steel GCG manifold,

bezerk32 what are the a/r specs for cold and hot side of turbo?

yeah i heard those bosch pumps you need a relay

Cheers .

Would this turbo be similar to a trust t78-33d? Bigger or smaller..? I'm doing pretty much the same as you with a trust turbo, just wondering how laggy it would be. Sorry to hijack :D

sorry to be negiative but it does seem like a very good upgrade in dollars for hp as i compare the reasults to a

r32gtr running r400 turbos (which are std size but stell wheeled)at 16psi

making ~390rwhp

r34gtr running std turbos 400rwhp

so its seem strange to me to go to such effort for 20rwhp ?????

when a small turbo upgrade of the low mounts can land you over 100rwhp more and no i'm not having a go at singles in general but this upgrade doesnt seem to give much gains per dollar.

pete

ps im running std r33 fuel pump at 530rwhp std fuel reg and running in the low 70% range most of the time at low 500rwhp

I was looking at his car the other day. When i took mine in for an oil change got to say looks Great and nice and neat. injectors looked like 550 nismo's any way i talked to jim about the computer and i hope it all works out for you. Very nice CAR mate

Brad

hey pete dont start the single vs twin debate again :P

hows your setup going anyways mate?

you missed my whole point cruiseliner

i use std or near std well tuned examples of gtr's to say why would you spend all that money, time and effort to gain 20rwkw if it makes it. Doesn't that seem a little silly waste of time and money. But this is only my opinion and i'm sure it a very nice gtr.

cruiseliner do you now understand what i was trying to say

as for mine is going like a stream train but the only issue i got is the new low temp thermostat and large greddy radiator are keep running temp to low for my liking and i will be going back to std thermostat. A running temp of 65 to 68deg is to low for me and is keeping the pfc in the cold water temp compensation tune(rich as). The question is how is your going put a final tune through it with some boost? Unfortaunately most of my time at the moment is going into project number to silvia drifter i'm building up.

pete

sorry if it seemed i was have a go at singles but the combo does seem worth time and effort for the results gained.

Yeah did that but i just don't like it that cold. All the production race guys i talked to believe the motor run best under full load (mean track work around 80-85deg) and i believe most oils and ecu as set this way for a reason. I think the low temp thermostat might work well will std cooling system but i found with the bigger radiator is just to cool for my liking.

pete

ps sorry for off topic comments

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
