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

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
