Straight forward question... For a daily driver, ease of maintenance, simplicity of installation etc which would be the single to go for on a stock RB26, to not run more than 1.4bar or so and have comparable respnse to GTSS's.

Or is this just not ever done...?

Yeah, I'd be tempted to try and roll with a .78a/r GT3076R...

Thats the same turbo was suggested by beer barron in this thread 2 yrs ago.

but it never eventuated. So far all ive found with search is that URAS has a K5 on a rb26 thats setup for around 300rwkw.

Also aparently a factor when boost is approaching 1.4 bar is wastegate flow and boost control.

Seems there isnt too many people that head down this path.

Yeah it seems they are programmed into thinking that a good single turbo which isn't suited for >700hp is too small for a GTR, I guess it allows the "twin low mount" purists reason to believe that big singles are laggy. The reality is a GT3076R feels at least as good under foot than the stock R32 GTR ones yet is capable of substantially more power too - if you were going to go for an upgrade focussing on response with a measureable amount more power, a single GT30R I reckon would be the dogs bollux on a GTR. Don't tell a person about to drive it that its running a single instead of a pair of little twins and I doubt they'd work it out, aaside of course from the fact that a pair of GT-SS don't have a angry little anti-surge whistle haha.

Im really keen on a medium single for my gtr; i want it because of the gate, ease of maintenance and clean appearance.

After reading beer barons thread and seeing those dyno runs from URAS with the blitz single im contemplating the conversion.

Has anyone ever used a t67 from trust on a gtr? i know they run them on sr20's so im sure it would run responsive on a GTR

      Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
