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.

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.

Exactly

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

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
