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.

    • Make sure to have the block checked for cracking etc before doing anything.
    • Pull it out. Put a suction hose on it drawing from a bucket of petrol. Put a discharge hose on it pointing back into the bucket. Add 12V. That will tell you if it works at all. Then put it back in, turn the engine on, and see if there is 12V on the terminals. That would suggest that it runs when the car does and adds its "capacity" to the total pumping system.
    • So you're telling me this is an external fuel pump? I've had the car for at least 6 years now and it's been there the entire time. I had the car tuned a couple years ago and I had the shop do the fuel system, including a new in-tank Proflow 340 which shit itself about a year later and I replaced it with the same model. I find it odd that they didn't remove this or even make mention of it. I seriously had no idea what it was. How would I test if it's functioning?
    • Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
    • Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao
