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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
