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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
