Hey,

Currently getting the parts list sorted for a RB26 build im planning.

The motor will be based aroung one of the big brand 2.8 stroker kits, (prob HKS becuase of the fully counter balanced crank), but in the end it will come down to what is the best value.

Ill be using decent cams 260deg maybe 280deg. Looking for the car to be usable on the street, but ill be happy with power from around 4-4500 rpm and around 400awkw, maybe a touch more for track or drag days.

Ive narrowed my turbo choice to either a HKS GT-RS twin kit, or a single TO4Z. I havnt found much info on the GT-RS but they seem to be the next step up from 2530's. Are they laggy bastards, or will the 2.8 spool them nice a quick?

Same goes for the T04Z, have seen that quite a few guys here run the T04Z and make some great power, but is it realistically streetable? Will it have response close to the GT-RS's?

Opinions will be great, but i dont want this to be the old twin vs single dabate. Any other suggestions would be great.

Info from anyone who uses either turbo would be really appreciated.

Cheers

i think (not %100, look at the rb26 turbo upgrade threads) you can get to 400rwkw with a pair of 2530s

if you can this will give you far better response than twin gt-rs or big single t04z, much more streetable

dont go bigger if you dont have to

Cheers for the replies guys.

Ill have a browse through that sticky and see what it says.

Still would appreciate any other info or comments.

I'm running GT-RS terbs on an HKS 2.8L stroker. A great set up and plenty of top end with bearable lag.......but......I made the choice to go down this route before the TO4Z was available. I've seen dynos of TO4Z equipped RB26 engines (standard and stroked cranks) overlaid over my graph by my tuner.

Believe me whe I tell you that these single give NOTHING away at lower revs to the GT-RS but just run away on the top end. In hindsight, I would thoroughly recommend the TO4Z over the GT-RS option if this is the top end power that you are chasing.

Thanks for the info Gav,

Good to have some first hand experience.

You wouldnt happen to have those graphs would u? If they arent handy dont worry about it.

I do want a good top end, but not if I end up with bugger all down low. I think that a balance of mid-range and top-end is crucial for a real-world fast car, as opposed to a drag set up where you spend all your time between 6000 and 9000rpm.

Thanks again.

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
