GBC22-350 instead of -7s? RB26

Been getting ready to finish my car which has been sitting around for ages. It was originally a -7 bolt on kind of deal with a built 2.6 in it. Just going to be used for fun weekend driving and looking purty.

Ive been reading a bit on the newer turbo ranges that have come out but most of them are targeted at big power these days and the bolt on upgrade stuff is all gtx2860 cores on old turbine housings which don't seem to work that well. 

I came across the gbc22-350 mentioned in a thread on here but can't find much other info of any installed on an RB. Lots of them on miatas and smaller displacement stuff where people seem to be happy with them.

 

From a compressor map point of view they look very similar to the -7 but don't fall over as much at higher boost pressures.

Looks like it would need some new intake piping to fit on the 26 and plug up the water cooling pipes etc.

 

Thoughts on this instead of -7s? Would be running a flex tune so potentially could push these harder on e85 than the -7s

what ever you do dont go single, fitting a single to a 100k gtr in this current time is regarded. 

what you should be doing is fitting hks and nismo parts, your only real option in hks2530. click buy now install tune to 550 weekend horsepower, it lags when it lags who cares.

Yeah wasn't really about going single. Ive read plenty on it but it's not something I want for my car.

Was more looking to see if anyone here had seen results with these new smaller turbos. Lots of new compressor and turbine tech in the last few years but not a lot of that finding its way into smaller aftermarket turbo's that I've seen.

Even less being experimented with other than varying sizes of singles and people messing around with the GTX compressors on old exhaust housings.

Just looking at wheel sizes and compressor maps these look very close to -7s but still working at high pressure ratios.

They are not direct bolt-on like -7s. Compare the two bolt pattern diagrams and just by shape alone they aren’t the same. I would not run a purely oil cooled turbo either, the CHRA is going to run hotter and put more heat into the oil which is already challenged in the RBs.

If you’re going to change manifolds and all this other stuff to make turbos work why not just run a single EFR7163 with twin scroll? If you just want higher efficiency at high boost vs -7s you’ve basically described -9s.

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
