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.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
