Engine is comming this week, and now im left with a few bits and peices to take with me to the work shop.

I know stuff all and i try to reseach most things i come across to get a better understanding, But as some of you know it just never ends.

Now Its tiem to match turbos to the RB26, Injectors Ect Ect

Im heading down to Unigroup, and i want things to run as soon as possible, All parts ready to install, Ofcourse there will he a hicup or to along the way.

Now instead of me stressing over what turbos to use, What injectors i need, Will this susspension be ok and will this fuel pump suit.

I was thinking of just saying to the boys at uni group, Look here is the Motor, Its been forged with this, this and that. Now you tell me what i need to bring along to make 350kw.

The more expericaned boys here would have some insight on this, what can my needs be matched to, EG Are my limits the engine i have, How will the boys at the workshop know if it will hold and what power its capable off.

I just want things to run smoothly and i just want them to tell me what i need to buy and bring along,

So pretty much i want to call up, Tell him what the motor currently has been build with, say i want 3- 350 kw now tell me what to bring along.

So pretty much i want to call up, Tell him what the motor currently has been build with, say i want 3- 350 kw now tell me what to bring along.

So call Yavuz and do that?

You need to somewhat know what you want. Staying twins or going single? What fuel are you going to use?

Haha sorry it dose seem like a blog/rant. Ive just spent so much time looking into this product and that product. It's given me a headache. Problem is there is so many was Nd options to go down, everyone has a diffrent say on this turbo or that ecu ect. All I know so far is I will be running

This is the Motor im working with

Rb26dett:

ATI 600hp Harmonic balancer damper & pulley kit

N1 water pump

HKS oil pump

Tomei oil gallery orifice

ARP Head stud kit

Cometic Street Pro 87mm MLS head gasket

Nissan full gasket set

HKS step-2 valve springs

R34 Greddy N1 Street Special camshafts, R34 CAS

Ported & Flowed headwork

Greddy timing belt

Precision adjustable intake & exhaust cam gears

Drive key, tensioner & idler bearing kit

87mm CP Piston kit - full block tidy up

So far im in the market for:

Bosch fuel pump

Power FC

Injectors ( not sure which)

Then there is things like flywheel? i assume i would need an upgrade, And i havent put to much though into a Clutch either, Im not sure how long the std GTS4 one will hold up with 300+ kw.

All this can be talked over at uni group, But would much rather just have it all ready to go.

Most of the motor parts are irrelevant for what you are asking.

It's very simple. Turbo's are the only key part really. Everything else doesn't really matter in the terms you are thinking.

300-340rwkw - Garrett -9

360-400rwkw - Garrett -5

It's no harder decision than that.

ECU, injectors - pretty much anything out there will be OK if it is in the ball park. So talk to your tuner about that and go with their recommendations.

Sure is, nah I like my car and even though its economicly not the best route its what I want to do. Hard to sell in this market atm, but my aim is for a clean, stock looking gts will little attention and a quick motor under the hood, keeping the blue gts badging and a hidden front mount. Sounds good to me :) and not every tom Dick n Harry will have one

spoke to Yavuz, he said not to stress on parts atm, We will be geting the Engine in, Then working out where we need to go From their,

Also mentioned i was going to keep the twins, He seems to think and said he prefers a single set up on the rb26, and can have the turbo on song about 500-1000Rmp quicker then any twins with about 50 odd more Kw.

Also stated to put some though in a 25neo, This was my first plan but they seem to be hard to find in AWD, Stated they are getter from about 4-7k rpm down low but the Rb26 is the way to go for 7k Rpm and up.

Now im left with a few more things to think about

Yavuz will always prefer a single over twins. Just like certain customers of his always prefer twins over a single.

I'd lose the ATI balancer and get the Ross trigger one.

Injectors is easy, get injector dynamics ones, let Yavuz figure out which size for you.

Is this standard rb26 pistons and rods?

Not sure if standard, i got the list of parts directly as Fatz posted in his sale thread for this motor.

Its been 400km since the rebuild. I assume whats listed is whats been done. How much woul di be looking to go forgies? not to keen buy while the engine is out it will be alot easier

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
