Just wondering if an RB26 using N1 pistons/rings/rods/water pump/oil pump/ bearings/ few other bits and pieces and also a trust t88-34d strapped to this side of it safe?? could it all handle 2.0bar boost????

yeah it should depending on who builds it, but how long it will last is another question

Handling power and how long it lasts is the exact same thing. If it doesnt last long then it clearly doesnt handle it lol. Whats the facination of N1 parts? Cheaper to buy quality parts from suppliers like ACL, CP, etc. Dont waste your time with N1 oil or water pumps they are both worse off over standard items. More so the oil pump having layered gearset. The water pumps are known to cavitate during street use and more ideal for track use (high rpm for extended periods). My recommendation is buy some ACL pistons as they have a very good ring set ($1000), buy either Eagle ($700) or Spool ($645) rods, ACL heat treated main and big end bearings (about $70 each), new stock water pump and with that kind of power you should go with a billet gearset oil pump like the Tomei pump ($1300-1400). Look at how other people jave setup cars with that kind of turbo and get an idea of whats needed.

no, n1 pistons are cast, and cast pistons suck
