Nah - probably gonna go with a single. Not 100% sure, gotta sus it out but I don't think I'll just fix it, might as well use it as an excuse to get some more power. 300rwkw would be nice! :rofl:

32godzilla,

sorry to hear about the blown turbo. Regarding your upgrade advice on the other page, I think if you are on a budget and just squeezing to get a single, it would not be a good idea. There is the problem of other associated cost later on and more importantly, the strain on the old RB26.

When I damaged one of my pistons, I was thinking of upgrading beyond the 600hp due to the "since ive already got the engine out" factor.

Mario's old GTR700 2835R's (think Marios told me Tilbrook or Munro ended up getting em) were offered to me. But after discussing with him about what they can do, it I was more concerned with how long it would last. Now im glad i didnt do it as i keep hearing of the endless cost involved with making the RB26 last. Which we mostly dont hear. So unless you are prepared to dump "ALOT" of extra cash into your car, I would advice on the GT Series upgrades. Better to enjoy the car daily than have it off road alot.

Btw N/A, thanks for the advice. I'm not intending to put anything stupid on my car like a T88 or anything. I was actually wondering whether you could get something with similar performance to a twin setup (2530's or t517z's), just something nice and simple. I don't want something that reaches full boost at 5K, and is a pig to drive, and I don't want to strain the poor old RB26 too much, so if there's no single turbo solution I won't do it.

The last thing I want to do is end up going forgies, rods etc etc....

13.1 seconds from the big full house Cobra 350 conversion John! A little disappointing for the outlay eh?

Dont feel too bad though mate, its only point three slower than my stocky Holden tonner...

Got some work to do Johnny, got some work to do!

As an aside, you racing at the Ute Muster? If so, see you there

32godzilla,

If I was in your situation I would either go GT2530 or T517/8 (for a change). However since you asked about the single setup, I do not know much about that except HKS Japan recommended the T04 might have been T04R. They said max output for HKS GT2530 with supporting equipment ofcorse is 600-630. TO4 (R?) was somewhere over 700. I think the difference though will be on what kind of GTR you are after.

for 3k or so you can get 2 sh 2350s or similar, to go a single you need turbo, manifold, gate, new oil feed lines, water lines, air filter setup etc. Its not going to be cheaper even with used parts. If your looking for 350+ rwkw then it becomes a different story, but for the performance capabilites of bolt on twins you cant go wrong, looks stock too which is a help.

Ha ha ha. You always crack me up Martin. Im happy with the 13.1 - it is a lot heavier than the VY tonner(stock!!!- felt pretty strong for a std car today - ha ha)

Besides, you seemed to like it today.Dont know why I always get the irresistable urge to

lay 2 long black lines when you are in the car!

Yep - I am planning to come out to the Ute Muster - should be a huge event.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
