Guys,

Im putting a Rb26/30 in my R32 and was wondering what sort ot RW and AWKW i could expect the mods are:

RB30 Bottom End CR of approx 8.8:1

CP Forged Pistons

Standard Rods with ARP Rod Bolts

Balanced Bottom End

Cam Gears

Power FC

R34 N1 Turbos

Nismo Fuel Reg

600cc injectors

Serviced RB26 Head

Exhaust from standard dump pipes back

Will this setup make 350rwkw and 300awkw?

Any suggestions or comments greatly appreciated.

Hey J

I have almost the same setup - but I have used the std RB26 bottom end.

I do have dump pipes – HKS style, with the short twin pipes from the turbo down to the engine pipe (+25awkw just from them I think)

I do have a 3.5” exhaust front to back

I also have the PFC and the Apexi EBC plus the R34 N1s, forged bottom end with std rods (linished and shot peened for good measure) with some minor head work too (competition valve seats are the main upgrade)

BUT I have not got 600cc injectors, I still have the std 440cc, and I still run with the std AFMs

Now for the good news - I currently get just over 300rwkw and about 292awkw running 18psi (easy)

I plan to change the AFMs and injectors within 6 months and expect to get to 350awkw comfortably.

My next upgrade ?may? Also include a bigger FMIC – and I hope to get the same power levels at lower boost (dreaming I know)

Cheers guys,

il post a dyno sheet when its done

To give you an idea my mechanic did one of these with the N1 twins a few years back, and they couldnt find a dyno back then that could hold the car down to tune it out to redline.

They were using R32 N1s as well. It made 350rwhp at 4000rpm then just spun up on the dyno no matter what they did. And my mechanic said he would NEVER EVER put his foot flat in that car, it was too scary, yet he's fine driving 500+hp RVRs. That said, the engine did have a fair bit more work than yours.

Id say you will easy make that power and it will come on like nothing else. Will be one fun as car! ;)

Hmmm

one mans scary is another mans thrilling :(

Not that i disagree the gtrs arn't a good turbo, it's just i have not seen any of them product much better top end at all over (GT2560R/HKS 2530) for the reduced low down responce and spool up. It might just be no body has found the right setup or posted a thread on it. I think markgtr34 made around 570rwhp is the best i have heard about, but i know of plenty mid 500rwhp twin 2530/gt2560r/t517z etc so my point is ,is 20rwhp worth loosing bottom end and responce.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
