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...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
