I didn't say it was the cheapest solution, I said "Low mount twins are fine for sub 400rwkw and not costing the earth or having mad lag. "

Which is true. 

Wouldn't expect a basic T3 .82 single scroll to be markedly different in response or power but with the added issue of potential defect. 

You guys pull your dicks like using 2 turbos is the end of the world and the reality for plenty of people doing is that they are fine/good enough. 

Are there better ways of doing things? Of course, that's true for any solution - there's always something better. 

Do they work and product a result? I can say personally yes and the result is decent enough. 

For THIS application, given his power/response goal he should go full spec TS single, i think we can all agree on that. 

Unsubscribing from this thread now. Looking forward to seeing resultts in the dyno thread.

Yeah you only hear about the single turbo builds where people go all out and get an EFR and TS manifold and then buy a stroker kit while they're at it because well you've gone this far....
 

half decent manifolds are cheap and so are medium sized turbos

Didnt Usmair slap one on his stocker GT-R? Looked like it performed well just the numbers were a bit of a croc. That dyno needs to be recalibrated by Mainline.

Went well...But he couldn't run 35psi? ?

Just for my 2c .

Personally I would never use these GTX compressor wheels without a port shrouded compressor housing , I can't remember too many if any being supplied complete by Garrett without them .

RB26 twins don't appear to be an application that can use port shrouded compressor housings because there wouldn't be space for them .

I think there are good reasons why Garrett supply RB26 replacement turbos with conventional style compressor wheels , mainly compressor surge .

GCG has you covered.

Still not to take away from any of the other issues but if you absolutely must have 500awkw with stock housings you're probably not going to get better than that.

I emailed GCG about putting 0.63 rear housings on these. This was their response: 

Thanks for the enquiry. We can supply these with an 0.64a/r, which would definitely bring them on earlier, although our testing did show the test vehicle surging under light throttle. However, we haven’t tested these with the new surge slotting on the compressor housings, so it’s something that could possibly work, as long as the engine is capable of handling the airflow that the turbochargers provide.

The issue we had originally is the GTX turbochargers push a HEAP of air into the cylinders, but the engine just could not handle the excessive flow, and this is where surge occurred. If the cylinder head is modified is the right way, and you have a nice big volume plenum, the issue shouldn’t present itself. Keep in mind we cannot guarantee they will not surge.

You also need a big BOV if you’re planning on running these (Turbosmart Race Port 50mm should do the job)

Aren't they referring to the intake rather than exhaust? Sounds like they could work well, you just can't oversize the turbo for the engine else end up with flow issues.

I bought a new billet wheel 6 + 6. It is 5mm higher than usual. They weigh 47g (old 6 + 6 weigh 50g, 11+0 weigh 56g). I'll try them. The wheels of the GTX series are clearly not suitable for rb26.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
