im building a rb26/30 motor for a s14 silvia drift car, i want around 400-600hp, on a very tight buget,

i have engine fully build bar turbo setup,

i have a greddy twin td05/06 turbo manifold, but cannot find td turbos cheap

however i know a recker in chch nz, who has about 30x 16v rb20det around $100 each 4 me, turbos sitting there, i relise these are ceraimc, but i know they are reliable upto 14psi, twin 45v vg30 turbos may also be a option but too laggy?

these are defenlly bigger than std gtr twin tubos,

i was thinking of chopping off the wastegate system and welding up (converts to a 4 bolt dump pipe), maybee machining in larger intake/belmounths, and using the greddy type r wategate i have, ruuning twin 2.5" exh out side of car behind tyre and a single 2" 4 wategate,

run them oil cooled only i have done this on many t3 turbos to save hassle of lines)

and if anything happens simple remove the 2 housings and swap the internals

and replace the 3 bolt td flanges with 4 bolt t3 flanges, on manifold,

any one running twin t3's on any 3L motor, or even a 2.5??

what sorta flow would i expect from 12psi? enoguh for 500hp?]

i dont want a laggy engine, would it be using the tiny t3's i think they are .48 ar exh housings and 45v are .63 or .68?

so a 2l turbo would be used on a 1.5L engine,]

its either this package or a t78 greddy single which i have but thats prob going to be 4000rpm spool (compared to 3l supra) and i cannot find a t67 td06 60-1 t61 cheap,

also bonnet clearance is not a issue as a track only car, and a large hole in bonnet may help anyway with air temps

what are the specs of a greddy td05 (turbos used in original rb26 kit) a/ratios wheel sizes? they look smaller, but make 380rwkw on a 2.7l @ 18psi, (taken from a mag comparing turbos) i want it very responsive, when does a rb20det reach about 12psi boost?

Using 2 x RB20DET turbo's I would expect to be all in by at least 4000rpm.

I have one on the rb30det at the moment, using 9psi it made 176rwkw.

An RB20DET reaches 12psi by 3000rpm or there abouts.

The rb20det turbo on the rb30det I find will boost up to 12psi or so by 1700rpm. The probably is it doesn't go anywhere at the afr's state its leaning out. I suspect the stock N/A RB25 cams have too much overlap (8degree's) and the boost is simply being blown out of the exhaust at such low rpm.

At ~2000rpm it kicks hard makes 100rwkw and accelerates well. under 2000rpm with more than 6psi tends to feel like a flat spot. As I said.. I suspect the overlap is causing this problem.

I would think in twin form they will make probably a max of 550hp.

o ok 4000rpm seams quite laggy, i have heard that 3L supras can spool a t78 greddy buy then, which at this stage is a more expensive but bettr option, any options on lag fro a t78 on a 3L? or anyone who had done the twin rb20det turbo conversion?

if u get 12psi buy 1700 on your 3l

wouldnt the both be 12psi at around 3400rpm?? 2x 1700 (twice the air flow)

With parallel twins you need to work on the exhaust flow rate of half the number of cylinders ie 3 cylinder 1300cc for each turbo because thats what feeds them .

Maybe you should consider the two RB20 Hitachi cartridges in the original RB 26's turbo housings and manifolds , at least it should then bolt together and look a bit more um .... functional .

Cheers A .

actually 1500cc each as its a 3l not a 2.6, do u think the exh housings will be too big for 1500 cc? i dont like the std low mount setups, and this manifold is already made,

also madiding turbos is expensive, a std oem 16v turbo is less than $100, thats why i tink them would be a good option,

i may be forced to use twin 45v vg30 turbos, as the supplier for the 2l turbo is being a ass, and wanting $250 each for them now, and i have vg30 ones 45v (similar to r33 rb25 turbos)

i have used a single vg30 turbo on rb30et & rb30dets before

they both started to spool at 900rpm (in 5th gear) and were at 10psi buy 2000rpm, with that in mind would 2x vg30 tubos start to spool at 1800rpm (900rm x2 or twice the airflow) and be at 10psi at 4000rpm??? is that to laggy for drifting? i think it could rev to 8000rpm (RB26 head)

what simiar twin turbo uprgrade on gtrs' have .63 .68 exh houings?

td05 td06?

hks/garret?

any better preduction on lag or spool times?

If you were to rev the sucker hard I would most definitely look at replacing the harmonic balancer with an ati one for example.

Otherwise.. good bye oil pump, bearings etc..

The VLT blokes have issues with their harmonic balancers up around the 6500rpm mark, broken oil pumps etc.

The import det harmonic balancers tend to have issues up around the 7500rpm mark. I'm not willing to find out though. :D

    • 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"
