Guys,

Used the search function, but could only find info on RB25.

I've just installed a set of Apexi RX6B turbos (come onto boost at 5800) onto my gtr and need to know what the safe limit of a standard RB26 is?? I used to run a Tomei chipped computer and the limiter was set at 8426, but have now just swapped over to Autronic and need to know how high i can set the limiter, without hurting the engine. The motor was rebuilt to standard spec's about 15000k's ago.

Thanks for the help..

agreed, and it's not really worth it. when i'm racing the GTR i actually knock the limit down to about 7600 or 7800 as the limiter can be a little lazy, and i'm mostly shifting up before then anyway, no need to ring it's neck all the time.

The top end will take the high rpm all day.

But the bottom end is still standard production motor quality and piston speed should be kept under 4000ft/min.

Unless you have a fully balanced and light weight bottom end components don't rev it above standard rev limiter.

Standard cams won't make power up at those levels anyway typically, so why rev it.

Turbos were bought 2nd hand off these forums, unsure which version they are. 1.1 - 1.3 bar at approx 6500/6600rpm Yes, i do now realise that these turbo's are mismatched to a standard motor, but i guess thats all part of the learning process hey...Although im no mechanic, when i bought the turbo's i though that they would have come on earlier due to only having smallish exhaust housings.

8200 max

they can spin harder but the rev limiter will bust the oil pump.

i mist a gear in my 170000km 32gtr with a blitz access ecu it hit 8878 on the multi checker!!!!! it has hapend 3 times now :)

i put it to the fact that the revlimit doest bounce the crank back and forth

on my other motor

(revalant mods to this topic,n1 oil pump 33 engine)

it saw 8200 regulary whist wheelspinning :lol:

it cut a long story short i rebuilt it after a turbo falure and the pump had copped a pounding!!, quite alot of ware around the pump drive surface

virtually all rx6 twin kits for a gtr would be classified as a drag spec turbo...

unless you feel the urge to spend up huge amounts of dollars engineering the car around the turbos i would say it would be best to bite the bullet and start over again

even on only 1.1 to 1.3 bar i dont like the chances of ur engine lasting very long no matter what you rev it 2

  • 2 weeks later...

i was talking to a guy that had done all his internals and stuff, he didnt see boost til 6000rpm through to 9000rpm which is where his rev limiter was, but that was rebuilt. if ya wanna increase the rev limiter u should/need to upgrade the fuel system, oil and water pumps and yeah stronger inturnals

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
