Have a look through the rb26 thread at the top of the page, should give you an idea of what can be done. Use the search feature for any questions, they have all been asked many times.

Theres plenty of diffrent ways to go about it mate, you need to work out if you want go single or twins, stroked or standard, suss out a power goal before you start anything at least than you can buy parts to suit your needs......

have a chat to stevo... aka N1GTR his got a badass r32 gtr makes stupid power

[paulr33]

the sky is the limit really, what model GTR, what mods do you have, how much power do you want and how much do you want to spend

Red R Racing has set the benchmark for HKS GT-RS turbo's having the worlds fastest and most powerful GTR using them. All this using only 25psi of boost and a stock Nissan crank. The real secret to getting these turbo's to perform to their peak lies in the cylinder head.

I see that they are building a nice JUN stroker with the same turbo set-up for a customer purely based on the success they have achieved with their own racecar.

There are quite a few guys on here including myself who use them for their engine work so ask around and im sure you will find they are the best option.

"how much do i need for 400kw with gtrs turbos am willing to pay for the results" More than you paid for the car i would say.

Red R's 32 (twoogle) swapped from HKS 2530's to GT-RS's and power was about the same (around 450-460kw) but delivery was terrible. Changed to a different head and cam combo and it went from a very disapointing set-up to a torque monster with power everywhere and gained an extra 50kw in peak power. Extra capacity sometimes is used to compensate for a mismatched turbo-head-camshaft combination. A properly set-up 2.7 full counter stroker with the right head would walk all over most 30 engines due to a free revving high rpm engine without the headaches associated with the taller heavier 30 block, crank and spacer.

Adrian, you are on the mark in regards to the cost, these set-up's are not for the guys who are tight with funds.

Interesting thread..

I have my (very realistic) budget set aside now and ready to rock for what will hopefully be a wild Rb26 in my BNR32 and currently looking for an engine builder who wants to take on the task of concocting a combo capable of low 10's or a dip into the 9's so if anyone can provide some true recommendations based on actual first hand experience, please flick me a pm

Im based between Sydney and Tamworth so hoping I can find a suitable builder not to far away

Paul at Red R is undeniably the perfect choice, his engine building skills are top class. He not only has the first hand experience with building and racing his own car but has built engines for lots of guys on here including but not limited to, NYTSKY, rad32, OJR32, blitzxtr (me), Deano45, skylinekid, NISMATT, sycorb, J'z-R33, Torjan Motorsport in Canberra and is currently building a monster combo for a big motorsport workshop up in Brisbane (1500hp!!) and sorting out issues with a RB24 stroker for murrayis. Quite a number of shops are outsourcing their engine work to Red R purely due to the results achieved with excellent power figures while most importantly being reliable.

Plenty of info can be sourced by pm'ing any of these guys and they are based in Newcastle which will suit you perfectly.

Is this red r racing mob or its owner on this forum? Are they a registered workshop as I can't seem to find anything to indicate this and I will only deal with a large established builder, not a hobby builder.

I had the same additude when doing my build as i knew about Paul in Newcastle but chose to deal with a big name company in Sydney. When they first started up my freshly built engine there were issues and to my surprise they actually called Paul to assist in diagnosing the problem. After speaking with him for about 5 minutes they had information on how to rectify the problem but chose to ignore it. I then made a decision to take my car back to Newcastle and get Paul to sort it out.

Tim, Red R Racing is owned by Paul's wife Stacey and is a partnership between them and a well known established and respected workshop in newcastle specialising in racecar engines (mostly drag racing and speedway) thats been in the game for over 25 years.

If you chose to use somebody else i would also recommend Croydon Racing in Sydney as i use them for tuning and are excellent.

Well if you feel like the drive down to VIC definately hit up Racepace in Bayswater. They're GTR experts and know what they're doing, bit pricey but you pay for what you get

Yeah but by most reports no one knows what they get as it is a secret.

Paul is a dead on bloke and as some one mentioned you would be surprised who (and which company) he builds engines for.

[J'z-R33]

+1 for Red R Racing, Paul is a top bloke and knows his stuff. Im extremely happy with the tailored set up (head work/cams to compliment the turbos etc), his price, and more importantly the quality of his work.

After sales support has been awesome too, he's helped me with alot of questions!

PM me if want to have a chat about it in detail.

Cheers,

Johno
