Hi there guys. Im new to the form and wanted to ask whats it going to take to make 500-600rwhp on an rb26dett. I live in the United States and am swapping an r33 rb26dett into an s14 240sx. I started a post on skylinesdownunder.com however seems there are not a lot of rb26dett gurus on that website.

My first question is what is the difference between the Garrett GT2860-5 and the GT2860RS? Which one will make more power and pull harder uptop and will they make 500+rwhp on 93 pump gas? How do the both of them compare to the the HKS 2530 and Trust T517Z w/ 8cm's? Can you topmount these turbos?

Second question is what aftermarket manifolds will work with the stock location turbos and which ones do you guys recommend? If you can topmount these turbos what manifolds do you guys recommend.

Lastly i want Tomei procams and cam gears. I want 270 IN & EX with 10.25 Lift. Are these good choices or are there other specs you recommend.

Overall my car will be my daily driver but i want it to be a highway monster. I can live with a little lag but nothing to ridiculous so im hopeing the Garrett GT2860-5 or GT2860RS will be a good choice.

ps. this will all be on the stock block. Dont worry certain measures are being taken to keep the motor strong. replacing the water pump with the n1 water pump and oil pump with the n1 oil pump. Complete tomei gasket set and a lot of other stuff i cant remember off the top of my head.

Easy done

1) Read the Forced Induction Guide, specifically about oil control and any related threads. There is a truck load of info already on these forums, so have a search also

2) A Rebuild. Forged pistons, new/fresh bearings, R33 crank, oil pump and a general tidy up/service the head if required.

3) HKS 2530's & ECU, injectors, cam gears, clutch, good dumps/exhaust, set of cams and so on... the usual things required really.

Dont bother with manifolds, people seem to not require them to get over 400rwkw without an issue, just a extrue hone really

If you are in the US and looking to build your RB, drop me a line at [email protected], I can help out a bit. I am the head engineer at Full-Race and i have been working exclusively on RB26 engines in S14s for the past year -- http://www.projectR14.com

we stock and make a variety of RB parts such as our twin scroll turbo manifolds, hypertune intake manifolds, JUN oil pumps, external oil drain lines, oil restrictors, etc. I fyou want a highway monster that is what we specialize in.

Info for you --

-the stock rb26 bottom end is VERY strong. Be sure to have an experienced tuner use either AEM EMS or PowerFC (where are you located?)

-you will not want to keep the twin turbos becuase of the S14's LHD steering shaft. single turbo works out muuuuch better on a LHD vehicle, although twinturbo is possible.

-you will not want to use the N1 oil pump, use either a NISMO, JUN or Tomei

-Procams will require you to machine the head for camshaft clearance ($$ and time). Poncams are much easier as they bolt in stock

Hey Geoff,

I live in Fairfax, VA right near D.C. so im on the East Coast. If i go the single route with your turbo manifold how much hp can i expect with a gt35r? How fast does the gt35r spool on the rb26dett? Or what turbo would you recommend for a topend power with some civility on the streets. I dont want anything that will lag super bad.

Hello Shabib67,

You will need to look at...Fuel,Oil,Water,Air( Intercoolerand turbo)movement and upgrade all these.

Upgrade your bottom end to RB30,get the motor dipped and cleaned.

Make sure you line the internals for oil movement.

Then port and polish,rebore,larger pistons,hks step2 or 3 cams with correct head gasket.

Go the single Turbo.

By this time your motor will be close to 3litres. :(

Crank(Shot pinned or upgraded"TOmie") and larger sump with baffle is needed.

If you are looking for a realiable machine,brakes,diff,gearbox,clutch,tyres and suspension all need replacement.

Then you need computer,boost controller and all the other things that go to making safe power.

Most of all ,as everyone has stated...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
