Not when you launch it from redline a 26 is not laggy and when your changing gears at 7.5 k there is no lag. A 26 with -5s has to be driven a certain way to be raced properly and the motor has to be built properly for this purpose to be reliable. -9s on a stock motor is a much better setup if you don't want to kill your motor.

An RB 20 with a T88 ain't laggy either if you drop it from 11ty RPM and keep it on song.

Ants is right, lag and no responsiveness should be a crime or atleast punishable under the anti gay laws. It's beyond me why the hell people r so intent on makin there car run like a pig, and if peop

If all you are talking about is lag the only difference between a stroker and 26 is about 1000rpm, so you need a 26 built that is happy to sit at 7k+ on a consistent basis. At the right revs at wot there is no lag in any engine but it has to be built properly to put up with it.

1000 RPM is bloody night and day!

To pull out of a corner at 3500 rpm and actually move is a good thing!

As you noted yourself piggaz the mines drop off it's happy zone in one corner, the rest of the lap it ripped the supra to shreds and would have done the same to any Setup with 7 or 9s. Period. End of discussion. That's final.

except u still don't know how much power your makin because it hasn't been dyno'd yet or tuned, end of discussion lol

-9s not to kill a stock motor. Would a rebuild be considered stock? Or are you talking about racing..

Stock motor means stock internals rebuilt or not. -9s if you don't want to rev it too much to stay on boost. But there are a lot of guys with

- 5s on stock engines but not sure how they drive. It all comes down to how much coin you have. But this is where you need to speak to a good engine builder to weigh up your options and listen to them

Yes, they are very lightly modified with the ex. housing ported (very similar to what I did with my -5s ) but that's it. Its a built 2.6 alright but still a 2.6 and not a 2.7 nor a 2.8 stroker

I guess, think of it as a whole package then just what's done to the turbos itself.

The Mine's built RB26 also has the cam gears dialed in:

260 degree Inlet and 252 degree Exhaust.

So in addition to the lightly modified turbos + cams + whole engine = You wonder why it runs so well :)

Makes you wonder how the Mines R34 GTR is so responsive using 2530's on a 2.6ltr engine doesn't it?

Fact is - it's not.

Once it's on boost (4500rpm or so), the ONLY reason it rips through the gears, is because the diff ratios were changed.

Can't believe the last 6 pages, talk about rubbish...

Any idea on the gear ratios? Im using GTS4 gearing and they take no time at all to rev up, I asume they have the same or something similar

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
