im currently building a rb26 for drift

so far iv got

forged pistons

tomei pon cams and gears

700cc injectors

fuel rail

power fc

tomei gasket kit

now my next step is to choose the right turbo that is perfect to drift with (not laggy and comes on boost very soon)

i want a single top mounted turbo and want to make 350rwk

what do you guys suggest?

i have looked at the turbo thread but couldnt find anyone that has drifted with a rb26

i do have a gtrs off a rb25 but its a low mounted turbo, is there any way i can make it top mount?

please help me!!

thanks in advance!

GT35, same as everyone else mate, have a search.

More info here on GT35's than any other forum IMO.

However "not laggy" and 350rwkw do not really go into the same basket.

Agreed. The GT35 will make the power you are after, however it is definetely not something i would call "super responsive that comes on boost soon". Problem is for 350rwkw your looking at a 700HP turbo which is something that flows around 1000cfm at over 1.3bar. On a 2.5/2.6L this means 4000rpm+ to start seeing a nice midrange. Look at compressor maps and peoples dyno graphs, dont look at peak power, but area under the curve and at what rpm different setups make diferent power, than judge for yourself how "responsive" you would call that.

One thing i have learnt over the years from these forums is people judge response very differently. One's persons responsive turbo is another persons lag monster.

Oh yeah forget about doing the single RB25 GTRS, would be more worthwhile keeping the factory twins.

I would look at getting a good head job :) with larger exhaust valves atleast and that will make it come on a little quicker.

My old car with a 25/30 with a 35/40 .82 made around the 445 rwhp with over 20psi in it. That was without head work though....

I would have thought that most would have gone a 30/40 which was recommended to me by Mike VINE for good low to midrange response. Will be pushing it to make that power though without a good Tuner.

I know Matty Spry from PITTS with a PFC with twin Z32's pulled that power from 25/30 with a 30/40 from a mates friends car which is and has been still going strong. Was at powercruise a couple of years ago and the dyno guy couldn't believe the power he was getting out of the 30/40. Wasn't much over 20psi either.

depends on budget, ive found the blitz K5 better than the gt35r but its also double the price, other notable results ive had thru the shop on a rb26 are TD06sh-25g.

Rb26 and drift is an expensive setup, oil control must be spot on.

Should just stick with twins and go a pair of -9 turbos. If U must go single which isn't necessary for that power level, I'd go with a GT3076R .82.

nah the twins on a stock stroke 26 cant match a well setup single for low and mid torque. Ive got countless graphs proving this all on the same dyno... my dyno. There can be excepions but they come a setup cost that is stratospheric.

our old hack used to make 540odd nm @4000rpm most twins are about 50nm off this.

A GT3076 isn't going to make 350rwkw in a .82

Al has maxed his out @ 306rwkw or there abouts.

That is a solid 50rwkw shy really...

NYTSKY made 362rwkw with a 3076R and Denzo just made 374rwkw the other day...

your ignorance is always bliss

I couldn't care less what a dyno says until there is some real proof to back that up.

Of which, as usual, there is ... zero.

But then you do love your arguments without real evidence :)

Oh i see it is E85 - well that comes as little surprise, everyone seems to make a solid 40-50rwkw when changing from PULP (which everybody has access too), to E85 (which a lot of people do not)

It is not PULP 360rwkw...

There is no way the OP is going to make 360rwkw on E85 with 700c injectors, so he is clearly talking about PULP.

So its still back to exactly what i said, seems im not as ignorant as you are silly to put E85 results into a PULP thread... but that is fairly typical of you. :P

There's still only one servo to get it from in NSW... kind of limiting.

Unless you go E85, you are straining the GT3076R to get to 350. For safeties and simplicities sake I would go a 3540 as well.

If you don't really mind being down 30 or 40 kws, I would choose the 3076R cause it's more responsive.

If some one says they want a certain amount of power, i think we need to assume it is on 98 octane. It is a bit pointless telling some one they can make the power on "x" turbo, they go an buy it, try to make the power and can't. Then when they come back you say "oh sorry, i ment it would make that power on C16, E85, Nitrous..." etc.

I also wouldn't classify E85 as pump gas in Oz.

3076 with the wick wound rite up. gt35 to laggy for not much more power + on and off throttle they are laggy. t04z laggy.

just get a nice big wastgate so it wont spike. and id keep the revs under 7500. unless youve got a external oil pump.

oh. you will need some upgraded valve springs if you are going to have any hope in making your desired power.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
