Well 370rwkw - pretty much your usual RB26 build.

R33 GTR crank (or 32 with collar)

Stock rods with decent rod bolts

Forged Pistons

Usual pretting/maching and so on

HKS2530 or similar

Bit of a head tidy up

Injectors

AFMs

ECU

Exhaust/Dumps

Clutch/gearbox (if you dont already have)

Probably freshen the diff

Suspension/brake upgrages

Replace all hoses around the motor etc etc.

Your easily looking at 30k spending, if not more.

Plenty of info on ~370rwkw RB26's lots of em around.

The usual forged bottom end; no real need for major head mods - just a clean up when you fit Tomei poncams; T04Z or GTSS or GTRS's; power fc, 700cc+ injectors,bigger fuel pump; oil mods won't hurt and also a decent oil pump like JUN, HKS, Trust etc

There will be other requirements, but these are the basics.

You don't really need twin highmounts to achieve the power you are after, unless you just want them for the sake of having them. My twin 2835's made a lazy 411rwkw on 1.1 bar, but the abovementioned turbos in previous posts can easily make the power you need, which is plenty for a street RWD car.

ye, i too would advise against high-mount.

While it looks good (depending on turbo choice), its not as functional when there is a wide range of products out there that easily fit your goal, and use the stock gear tahts tried and proven.

Highmounts just means massive cost, for no better gain. And well... 2530's really arent that impressive (size wise), so high mounted from the looks, they would be so-so

Are you after the show aspect here mainly?

R33 box will take 370rwkw no problem.

Main reason for that is you wont have any traction no matter what you do :ninja:

You'll be fine IMO in RWD with a R33 box. I raced mine with 370rwkw 3-4 big days (20+ runs each time) and cant say i noticed any issues... but then i didnt have one iota of traction :mellow:

twin high mounts would be a massive waste as the turbs would be fairly decent sized (unless u had plans to build an 800+rwhp car), and for street ur mums camry would flog the shit out of u, have no boost till 6k lol... i have seen a guy get custom manifolds made up for smaller gt2870's or something rather to mount them high, (HPI magazine) although it looked funny as they arent that big in terms of size...

id personally go twin 2530's low mount save money on manifolds and have a crazy response set up

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
