Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has used a twin Kinugawa turbo set up on a RB26? Have a mate who recently got a single installed on his 33GTST and upon his research found they are a really popular turbo at the moment, and have very good reviews. I looked into them a bit further, and it got me thinking. I was wondering if anyone has any experience running them as twins, and if they perform well in that format. Which spec would be best to use, etc.

Simply, I'm chasing 280-300 awkw. I would love to crack 300 but will happily settle for a safer setup around the 280 mark.

Will be doing PowerFC, injectors, oil pump, sump baffle and fuel pump. So a fairly conservative build.

Any feed back/advice would be greatly appreciated.

My original thoughts were to go with some R34 GTR N1 turbos (essentially 2860 -7's i've heard?) with the same suppporting mods to try and get my power figure.

Would I be better off simply with the N1's?

Price wise, it seemed about the same (~$1500) for the turbos, so just need some advice to tilt me either way :)

Cheerds guys!

You'd better off with pair of N1's cos if you head to Kinugawa's, you'll need manifold, dump/front pipe, oil/water lines etc.

Too much of a hassle for your power goal, and it'll be easier for you and your wallet to go down tried and proven method of twin Garrett -7s or -9s which will make 300kw easily.

That's what I was thinking, other than the curiosity to try something different, my common sense says that its safer\cheaper\simpler to do the N1's. Will those supporting mods be sufficient to reach 300kw?

All supporting mods you've mentioned will be fine for 300kw.

Grab pair of 33 or 34 GTR dump pipes since you have a 32 (from memory 32R dumps are restrictive).

Save yourself the heartache of wanting more down the track and go a single. the money saved on labour when.you eventually want more than 300 having to swap out twins will easily pay for the manifold, then its one turbo not two.

also buy a map based ecu and save money on afms and dicky intake pipes.

TWIN TD06 SL2 20G (either 8 or 10cm) will be one hectic Drag Monster!

Fatz was gnna do this for shits and giggles but i believe he backed out and ended up putting the kit up for sale.

perhaps try sending him a PM to see if he still had it as he listed it up at a real good price too!

For a mild setup like the one you have described go for something like a powerfc or nistune keeping the standard look with the AFM's. Both of these are a relatively cheap, easy to use and a crapload of support is offered on them

I don't know about Hectic... but i hope my twin L2's are scary. :yes:

Dont they do a knock off of the Trust T517Z 8cm ? They along with an 8cm housing would make for a nie 280-330rwkws bolt on option

Why not buy real ones... I have mine for sale for under 2k with new cores.

517z in 8cm make a bit more than that from memory, but you do pay the price in lag as Nick & Jack will tell you, they are a bit lazy.

... mine did, 400rwkw on 98. Not really lazy though.

You Garret fanbois always come up with the lamest excuses. Cant you just stomach that the Trust turbos were almost as responsive and made the same power with half the boost :)

Ha ha ha ha..... true true.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
