What changes must be done to a RB26dett engine to produce 500-600 hp.(oil pump,pistons.....)?The tubos will be replaced by hks gt 2535(prefered for small lug).The car will be driven every day. Is it better to buy a rb26det engine an modify it.(cheaper?)?

I readed somewhere that r34 gtr doesn't come with oil cooler.

In my country the average temp at summers is 40 C.I think a oil cooler is needed.Do you now a website that sells one?

i'm not too sure, and people, please correct me if i'm wrong, this is just my assumption.

you will need: full exhaust, air filters, turbos (have been recommended HKS GT2530), fuel pump, injectors, most probably camshafts, aftermarket ecu, boost controller, better front mount intercooler and oil cooler.

you might need: valve springs, retainers, oil sump (if planning track work), oil pump.

also, look at engine brace, because i have been told that over 500hp, the engine twists a lot and causes a lot of problem. certain parts of the chasis might need strengthening as well, someone might know better on this topic.

i think the standard internals should see 500hp, dunno how reliably though. buying an RB26DETT and modifying it might be cheaper in that you will not have to pull the engine out to modify it, but you still have to pull out the other engine at the end of the day, so don't think it's advisable, unless you've got heaps of money lying around.

and yes oil coolers are a must for these engines. driven hard in near winter conditions, temp around 15 deg c, my engine oil heats up heaps in about 10 mins. it's just one of the problems with GTRs.

try www.takakaira.com, they have all sorts of aftermarket stuff.

you may want to consider drivetrain weaknesses as well, before rushing out and just upping the power. i think the stopping power should be sufficient, but you might want to upgrade it as well. you can never stop fast enough.

Easy :P

Pod Filters

Turbo Back Exhaust

ECU (PowerFC)

600cc+ Injectors

Big Fuel Pump

Bigger Front Mount (600x300x100-ish)

Your choice of turbos:

HKS GT2510 - 500hp

Nismo N1 Turbos - 500hp

HKS GT2530 - 550-600hp

HKS GT2540 - 600-650hp

Those are rough figures (so don't all reply saying GT2510s can make 510hp), just so you get a feel for the comparative sizing of the turbos. Any of them will get you past 500hp fairly easily... Depends how much more than 500hp you want, and how much bottom end response you're willing to give up for the extra top end power.

Recommended ancillary upgrades to handle the power:

Twin plate clutch

Oil cooler

Brake upgrade (pads, braided lines, good fluid)

So i will need

1. Full exhaust

2. Ecu (power fc seems to be the favorite,with the boost

controler)

3. 600 cc/min Injectors

4. Fuel pump(?ltr/min)

5. Intercooler(600x300x100)

6. Oil cooler

7. Twin plate clutch

8. Brake Upgrade(size ?)

9. Engine braces

10. Race catalyst

11. Air filters

I would like to know the best brand for every component in the above list aswell as prices.Anythink else i must add to the list?

Is hks gt 2530 turbos a better matche for the rb26dett than 2535?(are 2535 more lagy?). I readed that the standart gearbox can take up to 600 hp.Is this true?The same goes for the engine internals? Do i realy need a new camshaft for the hp i aim?If i do, what duracion (degree) must i get?With allmost double power than standart shout i change the size of the whells?If so what size you recoment.

It would probably be a good idea to get some camshafts and wheels to get the full potential out of your new turbos, maybe some 264 degrees in and out, as for your engine holding together yeah it should, maybe you might want to buy a metal head gasket to lower compression if you want to be cautious

to produce(353rwkw)...all i did was got the standard t28 turbos hiflowed,780cc inj,motec,upgrade fuel pump,boost,intercool,single 75mm throttle body...but mind you i had the rb26dett fitted into my vl calais which ran a 10.8 @ 127 on 20 psi...

in my r34,i have

trust t517z turbos

power fc

660cc injectors

bosch 044 fuel pump

trust oil cooler

hks hiper exhaust

trust cam gears

im around 600hp.

dont bother with headgaskets or headbolts or even camshafts.

im even running standard cooler.

if ur chasing 350kw+at the wheels,u may need intercooler,but if ur aim is 300kw+ approx ,above is all thats required.

there is a heap more u can do,but unless your spending time at the track,theres no real point.

u can throw an extra $10k at it,may be more durable,wont go any faster.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
