Hi,

I am looking at buying a turbo for my Rb26/30 build up.

I was looking at using a twin HKS GT3240 but after reading some info on the to4r.com site I think it may not be the best choice (1073hp on 35psi with a 3.4lt stroker). I had a look at the Garrett GT with the same amount of boost it made 1230hp (dont know if N20 or stroker kit was used). Dynojet dyno used.

Does anyone have any dyno graphs of these turbos from an Rb26 motor? I am thinking between

GT3240 x 2

GT3037 x 2

GT45

GT47

I am sort of put off by the garrett turbo's as they are so damn heavy and large although the GT47 has seen some impressive numbers on the track...

Ideally the car is for the drags, just as long as I can drive it there and back I will be happy. No need to worry about other mods either, I just want info on the turbos.

well put it this way...

mark jacobson uses a GT47

theo woolett uses a GT45

for cost, ease of maintenance i'd go big single all day everyday.

assuming u've got all the right gear to support the big turbo, 800-1000hp use a GT42, anything over that look at a 45 or 47.

maybe, but ud be paying ~2k extra for that slight performance gain, and that nice shiny badge :rolleyes:

have you thought about running say a 42r and some size shot of gas? (this is what i'm doing)

I really didn't want to use gas. I hate the idea of having to pay extra money just to spool the turbo each time I want to run a quick time.

True about the extra money - it would be better off spent on other parts...

I am leaning towards the gt4508 now ~ $3,500 which isnt too bad.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
