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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
