Car: '95 GTR R33 V-Spec, RB26DETT

Miles: 24,000

Current Condition: Bone Stock

Have ordered most of the STD goodies to prepare for this buildup:

* Nismo TwinPlate

* PFC w/Commander & Datalogit

* Fuel Rail, Pump, Lines

* HKS Type R Intercooler

* 264 Cams, Cam gears, etc

etc, etc, etc...

Just finished my RX7 single project, Large Street Port 13b w/Garrett GT35/40, put down 420rwhp @ 16psi (94 Octane pump) and just over 500rwhp @ 22psi (100 Octane). Get excellent spool for my driving habits, starts boosting by 3800rpm, full boost by 4500 - 4800rpm & 9000rpm redline.

Would like to have similar spool and performance caracteristics on the GTR and looking for insight on a single turbo choice for it. The car will be 98% street driven, with a current power goal of 600awhp (US Dynojet). Am currently looking at the Garrett GT40R or GT42R. Will the GT40R take me to 600awhp? Are there other singles I should be considering?

Thanks for your expertise, opinions and advice!

Just my personal opinion, having driven both big single and twin high mount versions, I much prefer twin terbs for the street. They tend to be more responsive and give a broader torque curve.

Also, there is no sound on earth like a GTR with two large highmounts spooling up!

my personal opinion , sorry to say this to you GAV but ive also had both twin turbo and single turbo set up in my gtr's and i can honestly tell you that there is no beter feeling, then driving a gtr with single conversion, (eg t78 or t88) waiting for the boost to kick in and hearing the external wastegate open up will serioulsy demolish any thoughts of twin turbo set up being beter, sorry no offence its just my 5 cents.

HKS T04r cut back, or the new HKS T04z.

Both support around 600hp, although the T04z is newer and is supposed to spool up quicker due to the holes drilled in the compressor cover.

Trust T-78 either 33, or 34D.

thats for high mount single.

However, it would be very hard to achieve (on an un-stroked RB26) 600hp and have full boost hit by 4500rpm. thats with any turbo.

I know two people who have made 320rwkw on thier R33 GTR's with HKS 2530's. These are a low mount bolt on application.

They have a great spool and would hit full boost around 4500rpm.

how much does 320 rwkw equate to in HP?

if u r aiming for 600ps or less then the best option would be to go 2 lowmount turbos ..maybe twin trust t51z's or twin hks 2540's or gt-rs's ..that way it will give the best response and torque ..however if u want to go down the single turbo path ..maybe a to4z cutback ..or trust t78 or even a t67 for good response ...there are other things we need to know like are u going to rebuild the engine and gearbox options!

nocab72,

according to Ray Hall's turbo match app, it seems that with a rev limit of 9000rpm and 26psi on an RB26, you will require a GT42 with A/R 1.22 exhaust housing which would give you ~700bhp and 64lb/min worth of air flow.

yeah, it sounds all good and sweet but then again, i'm not too sure how this turbo would be for a street GTR, i would dare say that it would be quite laggy down low but with a monstrous top end power band.

Hi nocab72, my suggestion would be a Garrett GT35R, good for 700 bhp less around 60 hp for losses on a 4wd hub dyno. However I wouldn't be aiming for that sort of power on standard RB26 internals, particularly pistons and conrod bolts.

As for spool up, being a 3.9 litre 6 cylinder 2 stroke, 13B rotaries have a lot of exhaust gas flow. If you want that sort of boost build out of an RB26, I would suggest around 2.7 litres with 9 to 1 compression ratio, porting and a good dose of ceramic coating.

Hope that is of some help.

Hi Harry, looks awesome. What else have you done, other than 2.8 litres of course?

Full spec here

PS; Why di they stop the run at 7,000 rpm?

run went to 7500rpm - chart updated now (my mistake) - limited as no need to run further - engine was set up for max torque on or around 4000rpm onwards

Nice graph there Harry, how is the car to drive? Happy with it?

Excellent!!! and v happy so far - havent really had a chance to drive it in anger yet - still a bit wet here :)

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
