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 don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
