The 6466 see's over 600kw under 30psi on 2.6 and strokers.

A stroker means less rpm more than anything

As for blocks need grout etc. Many cars over 1000hp don't and haven't

sorry to keep steering this away from turbos, but BC (and myself as a mechanical engineer) feel that a billet chromoly crankshaft is considerably stronger than stock based on materials selection alone. The marginal increase in stroke (73.7mm stock to 79mm BC) therefore does NOT reduce overall usable powerband on the RB26 (ie I will not have to LOWER the rev limiter over stock when using this crankshaft). This is one reason you don't lose RPM with a GOOD stroker crankshaft in these engines. I think I will see how the car acts on the dyno and will likely still be keeping mine at the 8250 factory redline, but after talking to BC (prior to ordering mine) I'm pretty sure I recall discussing a figure in the 9k-9,500 on the crank with an insane HP rating...and I went with the lower duty "sportsman" rods...because I wasn't going to make more than 200HP per rod. The only difference between their sportsman and +625 rods is the fasteners. Rods are exactly the same.

Requires less rpm to make same power with any given same turbo.

Stock cranks will go to 10k no worries

Oh there are always worries at 10k rpms of boosted rotating mass at your heels!

But yes, everything I have picked for my setup is to keep the rpms lower and powerband more responsive. Cams, turbo, stroker, etc. I honestly think my bottom end will handle anything this turbo can give it. I have calculated that the 8374 EFR on my 2.75L stroker will start dropping boost sustainability (only 22 psi) at 8,500 rpms (max air flow of 79 lbs/min) but will be dropping power earlier at 7,500 rpms. Maybe I'll set the boost drop threshold as redline, but after seeing videos of how well the RB28 in the Z-tune responds (and from what it looks like an 8250 rpm limit), I'm thinking I'll be right there with their response level which will be fine with me.

And thank you for your input...it is appreciated. I don't want to sound like a know-it-all. After pulling an engine that suffered such massive rod bearing failure from my car, I'm thinking lower rpms and more displacement is what I wanted to go for - IE reliability. Of course I do not know the circumstances under which this engine failed as I purchased it with a rod knock.

it's not just the crank that will let you rev, need good head. Also dual valve spring will help to make it safe to rev. Edited by QUP29

I made just shy of 500kw at 6300 rim with a 6466 while still tuning top end. That block died a painful death, along with my wallet. The 6466 at 35+ pound should see 600+ on a well built stroker with a good head. I love good head.

like this guy says... Expensive lesson, I'm not risking it as its taken me over 1yr already!

I like the look of that graph. It basically proves my goal of 24lb +E85 will produce 550kw on a soft tune with my 6466.

On the stroker/rev topic. The full counterweight 90mm crank engine I have now feels way smoother than the modified 87mm stroke RB30 crank I ran in the previous engine.

The limit for most motors these days is what rod bolts are used. Piston metallurgy/forging and designs are being proven to 11,000 rpm on short stroke engine, however you need to look at the piston acceleration rates from TDC of an RB26 vs RB3X engines to see the difference on engine stresses. From memory, 8000 in my motor is close to 10000 in a 2.6. Longer rod engines have more mass swinging around too, which puts more loads on the rod bearing and bolts at higher RPM. (Correction) Less of a factor for the 2.9lt and less crowd though.

Beyond revs though is when your cylinder pressures start causing issues like lifting the head (stretching head studs), grinding rod bearing/journal contact due to compression of the lubricating oil film, and pushing the journals out of round for the really insane power levels. When you think about it, it is these last few things that make the 2J the stronger performer as the big power engine typically run 1/2" 625 head studs and the bottom ends are like a diesel engine.

Your setup will be next level again to mine

A balanced stock crank will take far more than what most believe.

RIPs is turning standard factory RB30 cranks to over 10,000RPM and holding well over 1200+Hp reliably.

Similar reports with factory RB26 cranks.

The biggest limitation when using aftermarket forged rods and pistons is the rod bolts and pins used, from there the distortion of the bores is a major player, thats why people use part grout fills, most block cracking between cylinders 3 and 4 is from the front diff forces on launch going through the block.

How many have seen a RB crank that was crack tested actually snap?

And if so was it the crank material strength itself that caused it? Think about it......

The front diff theory interests me, has anyone got proof or is it just a theory? Also does it apply to launches or cornering? Stock or aftermarket diffs...

I've seen a few RB30's cranks snap so they are not infallible, I know RB26 cranks are often unusable second hand because they are bent as well

Opinions on a 6466 w/ .84 TS on a built 2.6 with 272/272 10.2mm lift cams?

I have poured through this thread, and as such was leaning towards the 6262 or even considered the 6062 Gen2 thats just been released - but my engine builder is telling me the 6466 is 100% the go

I trust the workshop, but just want to double check other's results; dont want something that comes on at 5k or later.. id rather it come on hard at 4.2-4.5k rpm

Its concerning seeing people say a 6466 outflows a T51R

Edited by ohno1

with 272 cams and a 6466 on a 2.6L i'd be surprised if it comes on before 5k RPM but I have nothing really to base that on. Hopefully someone can weigh in.

edit: it would be and absolute weapon on boost though

Depends on the engine build, max RPM, fuel used, and purpose of the car - but I would look into the 6062 Gen2 for a street 2.6L. Rated at 750HP, the 6262 is 705HP [edited], 6266 is 800HP, and the 6466 is 900HP. I wish precision published compressor maps...It would make it easier to help pick a turbo that matches your goals.

FYI I went with BW 8374 EFR and divided internal wastegated .92 housing and I'm on a stroker 2.75L with milder cams for a better powerband for the street. I'll have dyno information soon, but if you search some of my threads I posted some 2.6L vs. 2.75L stroker match-bot (BW's turbo selection software) potential power graphs to show what the turbos do differently on these engines. If only we could compare them to the precisions.

Interestingly the 6262 is actually rated at a lower power figure than the 6062: http://www.precisionturbo.net/Street-and-Race/ss/600-800HP/2

My apologies. You are correct about the 6262. Gen 2 added a lot of power. I edited my response. Thanks.

6266 would be my choice.

    • 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).
