Hey guys,

Im currently in the process of building a 26/30 for my R33 GTST, Ive got a Spool Imports RB30 Block, and BU5TERS old RB26 head, HKS 280 PRO cams, ported, Tomei springs etc etc. I was just wondering what turbo setup to go with.

I was thinking either T04Z or HKS T51R.. Dont want a massive lag monster, but some is acceptable. What kind of RPM will the T51R come onto full boost? Also the T04z?

Havent really seen many 26/30's with HKS T51r on them, or know much info about when boost hits etc.

Cheers, Matt :blink:

if you have the head from bu5ter why not ask its previous owner, bu5ter ran a T51R for ages.

600+ and ill be more then happy! In terms of turbo lag, i would like it to be on boost before 5000rpm.

Have also PM'd Bu5ter, but no response, dont think hes on here that often anymore.

How much power do you want?

That will dictate what turbo/how much lag you need to deal with

Cheers guys!

Yeah, ive always loved the T51R spool noise! T04Z on full? boost by 4000rpm is pretty good.

Im leaning towards the T51R, alot of people have said dont bother with the T04z, but then again, vice versa.

As long as its on boost before 5000rpm ill be reasonably happy with the result! I Spose time will tell!

Cheers!

I'm also interested in this.. I don't have the money for it right now but I'd like to see results. Does the SPL take much longer to spool? or is it something else because it doesn't cost much more bus has 200ps more than the KAI

Also are there any twin setups that could get close to this power and i mean from a fully worked 30

twin 2860-10's can get 450-500kw, if thats not enough you could go twin GT30's but you need to get creative to make it all fit.

Thanks for that titan, now do you think those twins will have better response than a big single.. I know generally thats the case, but would it be in this particular case with those twins with a stroked, ported bigger cams ect ect head

And if one were to go the GT30 option.. what GT30 would suit best

Edited by 30edR32

if you want 440rwkw you'd be hard pressed to go past a set of HKS 2530s or HKS GT-RS. the 2530s will easily make 400rwkw and could make the 440 with some serious boost. the GTRS will make it easily. and either of those set-ups will be miles more responsive than a T04Z or a T51R. same power and much better response. I know which I'd go with. the only downside is the twins are a bit more difficult to work on. look at the Advan/Hi-Octane GTR. it makes more than the power you want and still uses small low mount twins. amazing response in it too.

there is a dude on the forums who has a twin 3037 setup in a 32r

1001hp and sub 9 sec quarters good enought for ya.

whats the difference between a gt42r and a t51r spl there both rated at 1000hp but which would be better for a drag r34 with a 26/30 in it i was pretty set on the 42 until reading this thread.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
