hey guys so im doing an rb26 swap into my 350gt and im not that smart about turbos so I was wondering what would be the best setup to get atleast 500hp but also minimal turbo lag. so I don't know if I should go for a twin turbo set up. or a single turbo. I was looking at a gtx4202r for a single turbo setup. any ideas?

You dont want lag BUT you are looking at a GTX and in a 42 frame? :/

Regardless of which turbo, this is still predicated on the assumption that he will take out a modern 3.5 litre aluminium V6 with a hell of a pedigree for a rattly old f**king RB that can trace its roots all the way back to the early '70s.

Now, I like my dirty old RBs......but you'd be a fool to think that dollar for dollar you would get anything better out of a transplanted 26 than you would keeping the VQ and slapping a turbo and some management onto it. You wouldn't even get "cred" for it as far as I am concerned. It's already been done, therefore it's not even "different". Just foolish.

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
