Hey all

I have a built rb30 bottom end running je pistons, spool rods and nitto pump.

The engine builder is in the process of changing from rb25de head running a t04z to a pretty much standard 26 head with only hks springs.

I also have the -9's, ces dumps and port matched standard 26 manifolds that where on the 26 head.

Now I'm after some advice or suggestions on my turbo options

I can either just use the -9's which will add a fair bit of complexity to it all or

have a new rb26 flange welded to my existing rb25de setup's manifold which is a very high quality jap stainless job or possibly weld, drill and face some tabs on the ex Mani to suit the 26's different pattern.

Motor is in a cefiro and I'm intending now for it to be track only and used for general thrashing, drifting, hill climbs and khana's and will be changing to e85 also.

I'm unsure if perhaps the -9''s will choke it up and be the limiting factor?

I'm running Nismo twin Plate clutch and standard rb25 box and don't really want to have to be replacing boxes all the time so power goal is around the 350-400kw mark

Cheers much

Dump the dash 9's. The response (provided the engine is built right) would be insanely good but you're going to run out of legs pretty quick. They would be brilliant on a car in a motakhana or tight hill climb but not much chop on an open flowing track with minimal tight slow corners to blast out of.

Get a set of -5's or HKS 2530's (I think that's the right number) which are similar in size and will easily get you 400kw on a well built engine with all the other correct supporting mods.

As for your other option of running a single there's a lot of great options nowadays that will still give you great response but a huge topend, especially on a bigger bottom end that will spool a big single up quicker.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
