9Well so far guys I've done the chasis work and have all confidence its done right. After all i have another r32 chassis i took all the measurement from. For those of you that dont remember this car got in a very bad accident writing off a toyota camary as well.

After yesterday the car is well on its way back. I have a few concerns. I had an rb20 in it originally wit a rom tune ecu running 550cc injectors and z32 afm it was pretty quick. To change the tune all ill have to do is call the guy that tuned it and he sends a new chip. Obviously i know this isnt the way to tune the car properly, but just a start towards a power fc. Now im planning on installing a rb26 running sigal turbo (halset hx35w). This is really a budget build using all my left over parts i have. As for the actual motor its all stock with refurbished head and everything will be stock other than new acl race bearing, mls gasket set (includes head gasket.) New oem oil, and water pump, block restrictor. Thats about it really. Do you guys think i can wire up my gts4 rb20 ecu to work on the rb26.???? Using the 550 injectors and singal z32 afm. Or should i just go for the power fc. ???

Here are some photos of the car repaired so far.

Hmm. I needed that. Ok. I was thinking nistune. But may just go with the power fc. I have no experience with nistune. Unless some has a setup i can just buy thats a good price. Thanks for that tho guys sometimes i loss my sense of direction. Ill set it up the car and for now just share a power fc, and just upload a tune for the particular car it's in. Ill share between a r33 gtr and a r32 gts4 (rb26) powered.

Here is the last question thats bugging me with the 550cc injectors with a fresh stock motor. What power levels should i expect. And what boost would be my limit.

How would use the 4wd system. Rb25 neo cant never be a rb26 mate. The rwd will limit it to be just that rwd not 4wd. Thats what i wanted. Plus it was just laying around and ya cant beat free.

RB20 should not run more than 14 psi on stock turbo obviously. With other turbo you can safely run over 20 psi no problems and make power up to about the limit of those injectors (which is about 550 engine HP).

I totally understand that. What would the power potential be for the freshly built stock rb26. Even if i up the injector size. ??

So... you have a RWD GTS4?

Sorry i said that a bit wrong. The gts4 that i have is 4wd. But if i was to run a rb25 wouldn't it turn rwd. ??

Eather way id choose a 26 over any 25

I think the standard answer for such an open ended question is "more than 9000".

Keep in mind that the RB26 was effectively a 400-450HP engine straight from Nissan, without really being pushed. I mean really, you can probably make 700 engine HP on a stock RB26 without risking breaking too much. The numbers are really rubbery though, because it depends on what you mean by "make". If it's an occasional squirt at that power level it is entirely different to getting raped on the dyno or drifting, or heavy Friday night street drags or circuit work. Each of those will place other loads onto the engine (like oiling) that come into play differently.

Hmm. I never thought it was 450. Thats good for me. I know what you mean about how you load the motor. I really dont want much. Just more than 300. Lol. I have owned several rb25s from neo to r33. To me i just like the 26 better. I drag race thats it.

I actually also had a rb25 from a r33 gts4. It must have been because it was stamped rb25 and had the bolt holes for the 4wd oil pan on it like the 26 and 20 from gts4 originally.

There are awd RB25's, in quite a few models.

26 over a 25? That's why the prices of 26 long motors is stupidly high, because fanbois think the 26 is the better engine.

EXACTLY!

If you take a close look at the neo.. Then you know what's what.

Yeah f**k neo's, sell them to me cheap :)

Hi sorry for the delay on this build. Well i just finished the motor build. Was a little hold up on the head drain. So i just built my own. I step back and looked at it and decided to do it a bit different. I drained it into the rear turbo return and im going to vent the bottom end from the front turbo return seeing how thats the highest point. The actuall turbo retun is on the oil pan using dash an10 fitting. All my other setups have the head drian going all the way back to the front. To me that a long trip and the forces of foward movement is trying to keep the oil back even in the pan. More downward trip (hense) should keep things moving. Only drow back is in the oil pan. The rear of it is only so big so at some point it will start flowing foward. I guess. Lol. The oil pan is bigger so the extra oil is also a bonus.

Almost done guys. Quick question.

Would a walbo pump support 500hp at max. Im looking for a fuel pump thats intank but not to expensive.

Was looking at walbo GSS342.

I guess i should ask what does the oem pump support as well:unsure:

Thanks in advance

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
