hey guys ive got a rb26 forged pistons no head work and supporting mods. ive got hks gtss turbos at the moment but im after a single turbo set up but i want it to be responsive im only after 400-450rwhp on 17 18 psi just wondering what single turbo set up what be best suited?

also if anyone or you know anyone thats willing to swap for complete low mount set up (hks gtss turbos, hks dump pipes ect...)plus some cash there way

cheers

why do you want to change the turbo setup when what you have now is capable of the power figure you are after?

my choice is usually a single for that level, generally more area under the curve.

You reckon?

GT-SS's are already on @ 3300rpm in my car.

I'd be surprised if a single is going to be much better :thumbsup:

definatley (just need a decent manifold and a properly matched turbo), the only downside is appearance if your worried about coppers. I get to see alot of different 26 combinations ( i have 3 GTR's in the shop ATM all running different combo's, and another 2 engine builds) so im open to all different ideas.

I do like the GTss's (one of the GTR's has one of our builds and GTss going in) so its not like i dont reccomend them but i have seen other combos match or better them... many ways to skin a cat

this guy has asked a simple question and the answer is also simple yes it can be done, why he wants to change is another topic.

the question should be askes as to why he wants to swap....

And what power does the car make now?

You'd be stupid to go big single if your only chasing 400-450rwhp...

You can have that power with the best response you can get with your current setup.

Just my 2c....

he has not mentioned BIG anywhere..... just single. i can think of 2 smallish turbos that would make 430rwhp (320rwkw) with better response than twins....

Good for you....

The single is till bigger than any of the low mounts most commonly used, so you could class it as a big single.

OK so which two are going to have better response than GTSS's?

agree...if your keeping the head stock id stick with the HKS low-mounts.

its making 405rwhp at the moment making full boost by 4200rpm, the reason i want to go single is because its easier to work on as the engine is in a s15 and there isnt much room, the sound of the screamer, and the looks of the high mount, if i can get a single turbo to make similiar power or more on same or more boost and maybe get it more responsive then the twins id rather do that.

cheers

If you must get rid of the GT-SS's, really your only option to keep it as resposive as you can get with that power level is a 3076. Any smaller and really your downgrading from your current setup. I know what you mean about the room thing though, the twins are a pain in the ass for that.

4200rpm = you have boost control issues.

That is WAY to late for GT-SS's to be coming up to peak boost.

Mine ramp up from around 2800rpm under load, and by 3300-3400rpm the boost gauge has flicked to peak (stock is 7mmHg, so 14psi give/take).

The looks/shiny stuff is fair enough, but you certainly have not reached the potential of the current setup if you feel it is not good enough.

but whats the max a 3071 will make dont they only make 370rwhp on like 18psi i dont want any less then what im making now thats all

3071 is smaller than the 3076.

As Titan said.

then go with the 3076 (GT3076R-700382-12) with a 0.82 rear. that will give you a little over 400hp on pump fuel. the 3071 is unlikely get you that without using E85/WMI/race fuel/etc

agreed thats way too late, they sound more like r32 N1. get someone to look over it, get it right then make your decision.

i don't know what all the fuss is...twins are a snack to work on...once bolted in its not like you need to play with them.

I do have a kit of custom spanners for fitting them though and know the order things are easily fitted.

Singles look cheap and tacky...stealth is the new black!

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
