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.

    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
