Hi guys, my 26/30 will be finished getting built soon.

It's got a forged bottom end and will be in my r33gtst.

Stock r33 gtr turbo's will be on for the run-in and final tune due to finances, but am now saving for a decent set.

They will run 14psi and wont see the track

I have searched and came up with 2560's int gate.

My thinking for this is that i want more power than the stock ones can give me reliably and i only have the rears to get trackion.

So what do you guys recomend?

It's a street car first with occasional track use.

I'd also like to keep them a direct bolt on :(

Thanks Simon.

2530's/Garrett equivs would be my pick for a 26/30.

Blistering response due to the added capacity.

Be aware though, its going to take a very sensible & skilled driver to pilot it.

RWD and big power dont generally mix well with all people, ive seen it end in tears and hospitals many times over the years.

So its either those, or just get steel wheels in the stockers.

But IMO you want a little big of later delivery as with the 26/30 its going to feel like a V8 it'll have that much down low on stock/smaller turbos so it'll turn tyres in a blink of an eye.

But the offset is the larger ones will net you much larger power, but it will still turn tyres as it comes onto boost i reckon... so more of a danger trap!

And the above, is why i stuck with 2.6ltr/gt-ss personally :(

My RB26/30 is long overdue to be completed so should have it back soon. I'll be using the twin Garrett 2860 (-5 model). Hopefully I'll be able to give you some results. I am hoping it should make a great response car for street/track and make about 500 flywheel horsepower without too much stress.

Ye, the car in question was a 2.6ltr with those turbos (IIRC) and it was frying the tyres with absolute ease and great response.

So the smaller ones i have will be just that little bit more furious again, which im actually looking forward too coming from a GT30/270rwkw setup that came on around 4k vs this new one which will be a LOT earlier so it will be a challenge and a driving expirience im looking forward too having come from V8's years ago :)

Thanks for the replys.

I think i'll stick with the stockers for now. With some steel wheels.

Down the track i'll end up putting the engine into a gtr most likely a 32, and then slapping on some bigger turbos.

At the same time do some head work, and cams :nyaanyaa:

Should be some fun in a rwd though !!

Cheers Simon.

Yeah, melb sux in that way.

The engine will look stock and i'm going to try to keep it that way for as long as possible.

With the stock turbos on i'm aiming for around 240rwkw.

once the steel wheels are on ill push it more.

With only rwd huge kw's isnt going to get me far. Torque should be good :P

When the engine eventually goes into a gtr the bigger turbo's will be sourced.

I've got some R34 std turbo's for sale for $750. They'll be a nice upgrade from ur 33 turbo's, as the ones i've got are only 30k old and were on a stock car, also the R34's are ball bearing. I've also got a pair of new R34 N1's that came off a NUR that i was going to put on my 26/30, but im now thinking about some GT-RS's, ill let the N1's go for ~$3200.

P.S shamless plug i know, but just showing simon some options :P

Based on what, says stockers wont work good?

IMO, they would work brilliantly... keeping them to around 10psi as you dont need as much boost to make the power being that is less restriction with capacity.

It would be on boost very early and feel much like a V8 with delivery early. You cant say instant torque is a bad thing.

IMO - Very interesting to see how it does perform on the stockers i think, and im interested in the results of it.

I thought about GT-SS on a 26/30 for a while, just couldnt justify the cost of going 3ltr, or the hassle of fitment among other things.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
