Hi guys,

I’m looking at the single turbo route.

Setup is as a 26/30, 260 @ 9.15 poncams, 8.9:1 comp - Tickled head

Car is on pump E85 fuel

The car is a weekender, mostly driven on the street however I'm planning to do a few Snowy Mountain 1000m sprints.

I'd like somewhat decent response - do not want a lag monster

Looking for a power figure of around 600-700 KW; a few turbo’s have been narrowed down

1 – EFR 9180 with either a T4 split 1.05 or 1.45 AR rear. “94 lb/minute”

2 - GTX 4202R with a T4 split 1.01 or 1.15 AR rear. “110 ish lb/minute”

3 - GTX 4294R with a T4 split 1.01 or 1.15 AR rear. “95 ish lb/minute”

Can some of you turbo guru’s shine some light on the situation here. Also gate size would be nice too. Something around the 50mm in single form I’m guessing.

Thanks in advance

Darren

Daz, Daz, Daz.......700AwKw hey?

Similar to my current build.

One question you can put to the Bosnian (who im guessing will be doing all the work)

Will it handle it without Darton sleeves and without a partial grout fill reliably? You did partially grout fill the block at minimum?

In a nut shell your pushing the boundary of a reliable 26/30 with your current build, that does not mean it will fail, your just at the border.

Did you anti friction coat your piston skirts? Massive side loading's and cylinder pressures at those power levels.

Remember its not a 2JZ block or a N1 block either, if it was a 2JZ id say a very different story to what the bores can take.

700Kw and response? (Your joking right?)

We are going PT7675...but im not chasing response.

Maybe PT6870 at 650-700Kw on your current internals to keep costs down and reliability somewhat around.

BTW how much exhaust porting was done to your head? Were at least the humps removed? You will need a good flowing head on the exhaust side.

Me smells that he has corrupted you with a new drug called power addiction, tell him i said hes a big drug dealer and his customers are all becoming power Junkies, but i will add, all these engine builds and big power, so far no failures, maybe he sprinkles some magic fairy dust from Bosnia over his engines to make them last. :)

There are a few 900hp Rb30's floating around that the owners seem to be happy with for street use.

This car called the "BORG" ran a TO4Z I think.

Oh wait that ran a hit of nos to get the response and smashed PPG Getrags....have fun :)

Fuel system I'm running a Magnafuel 750, 5Lt surge tank, -10 lines through out, 2200cc injectors

Not sure on how much boost possibly 22-28psi up to tuner really

Motor has been partially grout filled

Yes head was ported, humps was removed

Ok I said 600-700kw however everyone is only seeing 700, I'd much rather have 600rwkw's and decent response then a 700rwkw's lag monster. So maybe the question is what is the best single turbo for a RB26/30 that will give me the best response however still fetch me around 600rwks or a little over?

800hp with 28psi... With a responsive turbo.

2.8 stroker t88 30psi made 850hp - 630kw

I'm trying to chase the 630kw on 30psi

But I have a feeling I won't even get to it with my setup, I think ill be running abit more boost with my precision 6870

Gate size and manifold.....we went twin 38mm which is larger than a single 50mm.....2268mm square area for twin 38 Vs 1963mm square area for a single 50mm gate.

Bah, Garrett, go get yourself a PT6870 :nyaanyaa:

just bolt on the T88GK it will do 900-1100hp at the wheel no problem... on e85 expect way more.

Trent, you play with different turbo setups on your dyno a lot and have immense practical know how in that area, Daz made it clear he wants to stay Garrett (and he mentioned BW to me), what would you recommend to him?

I can only suggest Precisions but he made it clear its a no go for him.....Garrett is really what hes after.

Hell if i wanted around 650Kw at all 4 with response id be using the PT6870 but he wont hear of it.

Well it's not clear when he doesn't say 'I only want a Garrett'

Daz, give me a buzz when you have time to discuss your manifold. (if you have not purchased it yet)

Or talk to the guy above me if you need one, if id known half what i saw late this week i would have grabbed a full race manifold from Geoff.

I only hope i don't have the issues with my 6boost that ive heard first hand from a few people that have visited me this week of what they went through, they were 2 separate cases, both the same over boost issues......one returned for a refund after spending a packet on dynos following 6boosts advice trying to fix a crappy wastegate port fitment design, both sorted by changing to another brand of manifold.

In their cases they were single gate designs, i hope my twin gate wont suffer from the same.......

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
