Maximum Power On Stock Rb26-Bottom?

Hi!

My Stagea 260RS is currently mapped to 575hp (497awhp), the guy who tunes my car told me to not go higher than 1.4 bars of pressure with my GT2530 turbos when running a stock bottom.

If I don't recall wrong, I've seen people here with ~600hp on stock bottoms.

A friend drove his R32 GTR for 80 000 kilometers with 560hp and a rev limit set to 8500 on a stock bottom RB26 over a 5 year period, the oil pump gears finally broke due to usage of launch for 2 summers.

How much boost/hp is safe?

Thanks

Do you trust your tuner?

Is this on E85 or 98 octane?

Mines making around 465rwhp stock bottom end for around 10'000kms so far on 98

No issues, compression still at 160psi each pot, done 2 drag days with another coming soon, on around 21psi

But I trust my tuner 100% and I'm prepared to rebuild "when" the engine has enough

Their is no magical limit depends on alot of variables like tune/condition of engine/fuel/ max revs etc etc

How long is a piece of string?

Depending on age, use, condition, servicing, fuel - and anything else you can think of - will depend on how long it will last.

Will it last forever? Highly unlikely. Have seen people with only 450rwhp end up having to rebuild after 2-3 years of circuit racing as the motors just started to breathe heavy. So not blown, and not tune related, just age and use.

If you can't/don't want to rebuild, then don't chase the power. It's as simple as that really.

thats very true.

+1 how long is a piece of string. Have seen plenty of blown RB26s that were still in mostly factory trim (stock turbos, stock tune, etc).

I personally wouldnt put 600whp through one and expect it to last very long at all. My personal feeling for a limit on these things is 500whp, and I'd put a very forgiving 30,000 km life on it at most (street driving with some fun here and there). Some people will have seen more, most would have seen less. Thats just my opinion from reading countless posts and knowing people who have built such setups.

Think also the main things are to keep oil temps under control with an aftermarket oil cooler

Run good quality engine oil (ester base 100% synthetic)

Keep intake temps down (turbos not at their limit pushing hot inefficient air down its throat)

Keep the rev limit sane (eg under 8000rpm)

Then you might have half a chance of it lasting abit longer

      Starting again

      Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks!

      Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
