Recently i have been seriously looking for a bigger turbo for my car, but wasn't too keen on the lag factor. My aim to to acheive 280-320rwkw, but i would like to keep it's drivability.

B4 i go on: i have done a comprehensive search and wasn't able to find anything on this issue, so please if you know of a thread post it up below.

For those in the know i would REALLLLLY appreciate your input and advise, i am all "ears"!

My idea is to replace my turbo and manifold with a twin turbo setup (gtr style). By using 2 smaller turbos (350hp each) this should, i think, produce about 400kw at the crank.

MODIFICATIONS (Things i know that need replacement):

-New manifold (Can a GTR manifold fit on the RB25det head?)

-Custom front pipes

-Dual oil/water cooling lines for turbos (can the original line be split into two to cool both?)

-Custom intake pipes (from filter to turbo and from turbo to fmic)

CURRENT MODS:

-Wolf 3D V4.51 R33 Plugin

-Fount Mount Intercooler

-Cold Air induction (Pod in sealed partition with 4" drain pipe feed from front bar.

-Adjustable boost

-3" hi-flow exhaust system from turbo

-H/D clutch

MODS TO BE COMPLETED WITH UPGRADE

-550cc injectors

-bosch fuel pump

-bosch fuel regulator

-Ceramic coating of all piping (ex. manifold, intercooler pipes, turbo cover, plenium, exhaust from turbo to cat., etc)

-ADJ. ex. cam gear (optional)

QUESTIONS:

-Is this project possible and financially fissable?

-Which turbo's would best do the job?

-Any other mods that you would recommend doing (cams, etc.)?

-Has this been done B4?

-How does the GTR manifold work? Does it use 3 cylinders per turbo?

-Any other information/points are most welcome.

Again, i would REALLY appreciate everyones input and like to say

THANKS in advance.

OK high power and lag go hand in hand un less you increase capacity sso you want 280-320 rwkw with boost down low the best way to do this is with an rb 25/30 motlowth on hearhas a similar set upto what you want and thats how he did it the twin turbo's are possible but you will still have lagg.

he is making 310-320 rwkw @ 1 bar full boost by 4 k rpm I believe

meggala

btw go to my web site and read the mods section It might help

Hi Nismo_Boy, how about we cost this idea...

MODIFICATIONS

-New manifold $1200

no a GTR one won't fit.

-Custom front pipes $800

-Dual oil/water cooling lines for turbos $300

-Custom intake pipes $400

MODS TO BE COMPLETED WITH UPGRADE

-550cc injectors $800

-bosch fuel pump $500

-bosch fuel regulator $300

- Ceramic coating of all piping $700

- ADJ. ex. cam gear $250

- 2X hi flowed RB25 turbos $2200 each

- Dyno tune $400

That's a nice round $10,000 but the RB25 internals won't handle 320 rwkw, so you will need...........

- forged pistons $2000

- conrods $2200

- balance, gaskets, seals, o'ring block say $1800

- oil cooler $900

- radiator upgrade $1000

- camshafts $1600

- porting of cylinder head $700

And that totals $19,850.

When do you want to start?

THANKS FOR ALL YA INPUT GUYS!!

Looks like i need to go back to the single turbo idea, as the deal with NISMO_BOY may fall through. It was pure coinsidance that he was selling this setup at the time i posted this idea. But i consider $4000 for basically a block, manifold (modified rb26DETT) and 2 worn turbos a bit rich, not to mention risky.

But now i am back to my original delema. What turbo will best do the job and has the least lag? I am under no illusion that i will get more lag, just want the best package.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
