Afternoon,

would like some info on what's recommend on a tight budget for an rb26det with t04z .84

I'm upgrading the enging in my vl calais, and would like some help / imput on what i need to do do the bottom end / if i need to do anything

engine has forgies a n1 oil and water pump, spit fire coils, tomei pon cams adjustable cam gears, and greddy manfold / gate and a to4z 4 inch dump

my car has , 044 460cc injectors, oil cooler wolf 3d v4 Kea's built 4 speed auto 3700 stall

now my question is, i'm not chasing huge number,s with the orginal engine I was running 11.6 on 220rwkw i would like to know what other mods do i need to do, do i need arp head studs, main studs rods etc to make a happy 300 -350rwkw, i would also like to not really be reving the engine over 7500 rpm

Your injectors will make somewhere between 300 -330kw - you can easily upgrade them later if you want more power (although you will have to pay for another tune) but if you want nearer 400kw 550s would do or go for ID1000s to future proof your build.

Skip anything up to ID1000's. This being a VL it's got a 3L bottom end right? If so anything under 1000cc is a waste of time (speaking from experience with a 3L here).

Don't buy the ID1500's, they've been recalled. If you're going to E85 just straight up buy ID2000's and enjoy.

Turbo capable of 400-450rwkw, and you only want 300-350?

Best mod would be buying the appropriatly sized turbo for the application.

Given injectors are limited to around 300rwkw - a 3076 is the biggest you'll be able to go.

it's a full rb26 top and bottom, not doing 3litre

also i understand the whole smaller turbo better esponse, also realise bigger turbo less boost less stress on the engine!

i was more worried about having to get ARP bolts for everything in the bottom and top, but no ones seems to have mentioned them!

and reason the to4z is manly that i got the manfiold gate and turbo for a killer price! and not really interested in a 3076 (better suited for smaller engines like ca's)

bigger turbo, virtually no response at all, no difference in engine stress. 300kw from a medium sized turbo and 300kw from a big turbo is the exact same stress on the engine. big turbos flow more air than a smaller turbo at the same pressure.

not exactly the same, a bigger turbo will put slightly less stress on the motor at the same power level due to better exhaust scavenging and lower intake temps but the difference would be minimal. +1 for a smaller turbo if your not gonna build the motor and use the t04z for what its capable of

A 3076 550HP, is suited to a 1.8lt?

... Ok...

IF you got it at a good price, sell it. Buy a turbo to fit the parts 3076, and be happy.

Have a look at the 26/30 thread and see user: Al

That will say it all really as a t04z is useless under 400rwkw.

Even a GT35 would be better.

okies guys , and yeah mates puts 3076 on sr's and ca's

i also have the joy of the stall and auto getting it up on boost earlier,

I had a gt35/40 on the rb30 and that made 18psi by 3k so i'm think that the to4z with slightly bigger rear housing .84 should be on boost by at least 3500 4k my main concern is what will the internal take, will the standard rods and standard studs be fine for that sort of power,

how much boost would u run through a 3076 to make say 300 - 330 rwkw out of a 26? and how much boost would u run through a to4z to make the same power ?

by the sound of it OP doesn't care about response, as he seems to be into drags... still everyone gives him shit.. not everyone with a 26 has a heavy gtr and needs every rpm of response to stop it being a slug.....

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
