I've done a search, and read several threads, but unfortunately they all turn into a single vs twins debate.

Luckily, I dislike twins, so there is no need for a debate, I wont be using them :P

Can anyone tell me which water line to use for the single conversion on a 26? The front or the rear?

And I'm using a Garrett GT3582, and I have a JUN oil pump, will I need a restrictor of some sort to stop the oil blowing past the seals??

Cheers :D

Paul.

Hey Paul,

Unrelated answer, but i am interested to see how you go with this turbo, and why you didnt go to the 4088r or the newer 3788r??

My engine spec is rather similar and i am too considering making the switch to a single. when i get it all back together..

Hey Andrew,

The car is a circuit car, and as such I'm aiming for the most response possible while maintaining roughly 400wkw.

The 4088r appears too lazy, and I am yet to see a graph of the 3788r.

Instead, I've customised a 3582r with a T04 0.82 rear housing (V-band + T4 flange).

We will see how it progresses, it is booked in for a tune on the 14th.

where are you gettting it tuned cockspank?!?

if its at xspeed get ant to overlay my graph on yours... then we can finally compare very similar gt35r vs t04z

also in regards to the water line, we blocked off the front one and ran feed from the rear (it was a bit of a cvnt) but that is how all single turbo rb's are run so we figured it to be the best way to go

I've run feed from the block and returned to the front.

Makes the most sense to me as the hot water then goes straight into the radiator not back around the engine.

Also one less water line to worry about breaking and having to replace at the back of the engine. Doing that in the car ... what a F*kin nightmare.

Oh and unlike CERB's ... My 26 has run a time :starwars:

Marbles, Sean's tuning it as it's heading to All-Star from Volatile (it's not far away) to finish off the conversion. Will get it run up on X-Speed dyno tho to see the difference between yours and mine.

Paul you can use either front or rear, the rear looks neater imo but as Butters said one less line to worry about not being able to get to if its on the front of the motor. I dont know about garret turbos and restrictor i have a 3076 on my other motor and its been getting abit of blowby past the front seal and its brand new so maybe its worth a look into.

    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
