Hey guys I am in the process of getting everything together for my 26 conversion into my s13. This will be a dedicated drift car so I am chasing response over outright power. But I am really keen to go single, as everything is a very tight fit in my bay as I have tubs etc. So if anyone could help with some advice of:

Turbo and Manifold choice

Loose Power Figures

I currently have

R33 block

Block decked, honed, bored, chemically cleaned

Shotpeened rods

ARP rod bolts

ACL forged pistons 20 thou over

Mahle rings

King bearings

Ported and Polished head

Reground cams

ARP head studs

Permaseal head gasket

Custom 7L RWD sump

Sard 700cc injectors

NGK plugs

Tomei oil restrictor

N1 oil pump

Thanks in advance

What is your abilty?

as size is dependant on driver quality and chasis setup... the more you progress the more and more grip you chase in the rear (many of us run semis on the rear 265-285) in size end so obviously you need more power to turn them.

For entry level to mid i recommend GT3076 (with the larger rear) or a 10cm T67 is also a killer drift setup for RB26 (i had a few T3 versions around for about $1200)

for mid to high level i recommend Gt3540 or equivalent (we run the blitz K5 which performs better but cost twice as much)

Well I would say I am entry to mid level, my chassis has tubs, removable rad support, full seam welded, and full bolt in cage. Suspension set up is JIC coilovers,adjustable everything blah blah blah... So t67 25g 10cm rear??? thats kinda what i had in mind, any others????

have you actually run one of these turboes?

looks to cheap to be true

yeah 3 or 4 now. I tried one myself for a while before letting a few of my customers buy one off ebay.

Trent, Can we please have some dynographs on this turbo? That would be fantastic!

Also, what is the response of this turbo comparable to?

I am currenlty building up a street RB25 with all the fruit to run between 270-300rwkw and I just might be in the market for a new turbo.... :D

Will be runnig forged bottem end, mildly ported head with upgraded springs, poncams, front facing plenum,haltech platinum ecu etc, etc.

I have a VG30 turbo i was planning on getting highflowed but this looks like a gret option also.

Define "smilar spool" :(

Larger rear housing, larger turbo comp side, that combination dont usually make for 'similar' by my definition :D

I know this, sounds a bit strange but it is honestly the reality - I think the twin scroll setup makes up for a lot of it. The twin scroll GT3582R cars I've been in are honestly feel too good to be true, the guys I know who have gone from single entry to twin scroll GT35 setups have improved spool by around 500rpm (pretty much the difference between an equivalent GT30R and GT35R) and make more midrange torque for an equivalent boost level.

I haven't been in a Skyline with a TS GT35R *yet* but given they are a 6, the gains are only going to be at least as good as the 4cyl ones I've been in. From the cars I've experienced I'd expect 1bar before 4000rpm on an RB25 with good manifolding, and heaps of midrange. Naturally the TS setup on a GT3076R would be better again, but I'd say ridiculous on an RB26.

Think of it this way, twin GT2860-5s have the combined equivalent "wheel" surface area of a T04Z... which spools better?

3076 with a .82 rear housing is good on an rb26 and as other have said you will get about 330kw which is plenty of power

i have one for sale atm because i've decided to upgrade it

will do, away till monday.

6boost manifold. if you have a twin scroll turbo make sure u have a split pulse manifold to compliment

as for the oil pump, this is the easiest option Oil pump gears

I haven't used on but it looks ok. I would confirm the correct width

  • 5 weeks later...

Oh wow! I totally forgot about this thread.

I have ditched the high flow option and I am in the market for either a HKS GT3037 pro s or MHI T67 10cm.

I thought I might as well considering I'm pretty much going all out on the long motor.

Any thoughts or Dyno read outs of either of these turbo's on RB25 would be awesome, thanks Trent.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
