General Power Output - RB26


Recommended Posts

Guest Nismo_Freak

Decided to just dump the 26 into the 240SX (200SX).

Heres the mods I will be running:

R32 GTR Motor (Possibly R33)

R33 RB25 Tranny

Aluminum Single Peice Driveshaft

Hardened 4.11 Rear End Gears

Kaaz 1.5-Way LSD (still debating which to use)

Blitz Skyline FMIC w/ Custom Piping

Apexi Intakes w/ Cold Air Induction (try to encase the filters w/ box, if not I'll just duct ambient air)

Blitz SBD iD Boost Controller

Blitz Auto Timer

3" Custom Downpipe to 3" Blitz NUR Spec Exhaust (no cat)

Haltech E6K Engine Management (moderately tuned for power, still want car to be somewhat reliable)

255Lph Walbro Fuel Pump

RX7 Oil Cooler

I believe thats about it for the mods. Im going to use stock turbos for a while and later upgrade to twin HKS2530s.

I'd like to run about 1 bar if that is safe on the fuel system. I very open to opinions and suggestions. Let me know how this stuff works out on your GTRs.

I'd like to get an estimate of what kind of power I would see at maximum SAFE boost levels. I'm perfectly willing to sacrifice power to maintain safe engine operation.

I need a suggestion for a clutch as well.

Thanks guys!

Figured since the 2530s can flow around 320 ps each I would get around there. However I was more or less wanting to know what I can acchieve on stock turbos. Also what kind of boost limits I would see with the stock fuel system (w/ 255 lph fuel pump) and stock turbos.

I think the most you can get out of stock turbo's is 400hp'ish don't quote me on this..

As for your fuel just because its says its 93 octane doesn't mean its worse then ours, in the states they use another method to determin the octane rating so your 93 octane is probably better then our 98 octane stuff.

Dunno... probably the same? WRXs get away with 14 psi on this "93". One of our gas stations underrates their gas... its 93 octane via label but it sure smells more like race gas than pump gas. It hasnt been tested but word is these stations have around 95-97 octane instead of 93 octane. I dunno, it doesnt seem logical why they would put higher quality, and more expensive gas and sell it as 93.

Before I go and spend 10K US ... I wanna know what it will put out, ball parked at least. Im more or less trying to figure out what the motor will output at safe boost and what safe boost is. Also general output numbers work well for tuning. If I get the car up there and make 100 hp short of what alot of other people are getting then I know there is something wrong with the motor and I need to find out what it is.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
