Hey guys..Just want to see what everyones opinions are.I have a 240z with a rb25/30 gt35r 1.06 exh,external gate,microtech,greddy plenum,injectors etc etc.Its stock internals but rebuilt with race series bearings,linished rods etc.Its making just a tad over 500rwhp...

The car is about to twist its self in half.That much power is unusable in a rwd not to mention dangerous in a car weighing 1020kg.I could put slicks etc on but i dont really race it its just a cool street car so i dont want to.

I have been trying to sell my 32 gtr for a while now and the market is dead.For the prices ive been offered id rather just keep it and put the 240z gear in it.

Question is,do i put the 30 bottom end in (with the 26 head) and all the other gear (turbo,injectors,microtech etc) OR just freshen up the 26 and put the turbo etc on it.I love the torque of the 30 but i love the revs of the 26.Never driven/been in a 26 with decent size turbo/s etc (mine has n1's and they suck!).

does the 4wd block adapter have any problems?how strong is the 30 block in 4wd form.obviously it will have more stress on it than in 2wd.

Opinions?

Strengthen up the 240Z, they are notoriously flexible. Particularly the C pillars. Put some decent suspension in it and it will be fine. After all its only 100kgs lighter than my R32GTST which has 600+ rwhp.

:( cheers :woot:

rb30 blocks have known to break under the stress the front diff acting on it, the 26 block has extra webbing to support the torque of the front diff but then again there are gtrs out there with the rb30 block that go well with around 100hp more at the same boost than the rb26, ur defintely not wrong about loving the way the 26 revs, many people do lol

i rekon you should bolt the turbs on. thats what ive done. t04z 1.2 bar on a origonal r32 gtr engine. its putting out 315 awkw.

ive got a fullly built motor ready o drop in but itsnot showing any signs of dying so its just sitting on the stand lol

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
