Iv found a daily driven car that's also used on track running a bigger version 0.73ar as mind are 0.64 or 0.61 can't remember that's running hks 272 with 10.5mm lift with springs retainers and seats. And ported head. Although its making 720hp..

Full boost around 6000rpm sounds about right, which means you'll need to change each gear at over 8000rpm to keep on boost.

I'd stick with mild cams ~270° max, with moderate lift. High lift and duration cams are harder on the valve train. The large turbos will extend the top end significantly anyway. Just focus on getting a lighter and stronger reciprocating mass. Get some strong and light pistons, rods, nice bearings and get the crank checked. Probably look at a dry sump setup.

Can't see a stock RB26 holding onto those revs at high boost for long, especially on a track.

As per the above post, given the fact that your power band will be moved up between 6,000 and 8,000+ rpm.

I am running 272 deg cams at 10.5 mm lift and these are probably not enough to support such high rpm operation. Their efficiency range is much lower rpm, probably coming on at between 3 and 4000 rpm, which is suited to my longer-stroke, slower revving 3.1 and smaller turbos. Yes going bigger with cams means more doughy down bottom - it will be slower off boost than a VL commodore - but for that size turbo you are optimising for high RPM operation. I think the above suggestion about 280 deg would be the minimum, as you will need big duration to maintain 'acceptable' ramp angles.

And your mum probably won't be impressed if you throw her the keys to drive it down to the shops, as per your thread about the turbos, but that's a given for this setup.

Decided to ditch these and start on building a new engine.

Your engine is more than likely capable of high 300s if you choose the appropriate turbo. Shouldn't need to rebuild it, what turbo are you thinking of replacing it with?

At the moment looking into building a stroker engine. I know the obvious for streetability and response the choice for turbo are twin bolt ons and they will punch out the numbers i want but as iv said somewhere iv always wanted a single turbo 26. I thought people are getting decent results from mid sized singles these days?

My personal preference is for a single, tricky to match or better a good twin setup but definately possible.

That said is it your 2835's on ebay atm?... i think i need them, whether or not i win them is another story :P

Na they aren't yet mate. They'll be up soon tho. Do you want me to let you know when they are?

i'll keep an eye out, set my ebay snipe for the pair on there now so we will see how it goes.

With the stroker my brother who's a mechanic is gonna help do all the non critical rb26 stuff. He isn't in a performance scene but is full of knowledge when it comes to all mechanical stuff. And has put me onto an engineering shop in addl who's build some of adel hardest gtr's

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
