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.

who cares what number its going to put out.  Just build it and see, you cant do any more than that, and no-one can tell you what its going to make either.

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.

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 馃ぃ
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
