Indeed! the engine itself wasn't expensive, neither was the conversion (expensive in time and energy.. RB30 built, fitted and running in a weekend :D).

The expensive parts come now.. need some custom bonnet work, need a tune along with a z32 afm and some bigger injectors.. I can feel this 20 box isn't very happy being behind a 3L now so a 25 box is going to be needed soon O_o

On the funny side.. got the RB25 turbo that I had on my 20 on there.. full boost by 2000rpm and no lag, instant boost! heh even untuned and running like shit it was pulling up a big hill in 5th at 2000rpm.. 3L ftw :D

Our 26 is here in the workshop now , box n twin plate here also .. gone for 34 bellhousing n pulltype ..

Once the new turbos n tomei manifolds arrive we will fit up n drop it in the hole ;)

Be running by christmas :P

Just thought I'd update.. car is now running fine on the chipped ecu from the group buy.. with r&r removed it revs out but, I don't rev it past 5.5-6k or give it much of a hard time till it gets tuned.. 2 weeks away <sigh> :D

flahs once you get a 26 your car will be exactly what i imagined my car to be like when i first started modding, vertex kit and all. Mine was originally black. Somehow i got sidetracked though ? you got the vertical doors hey? :closedeyes:

i got du luck kit but now thinking wide body. yeah i got scissor doors but i am going to put back the stardard cause the scissor are not ADR approved :closedeyes: now thats a waste

5500ish for the engine

i would recommend not to get scissor doors as it is a pain to install and there will be cutting in your front fender and plus the gas strut will hit the inside of your fender and you will have a lil ding

hey all im new to your forum but ive done the rb26 into a r33 gtst it was excellent in fact i cant suggest it highly enough its not laggy at all it can paint the roads with black lines whenever you want they rev nice the standard twins exhaust and cooler got me 340 at the wheels :O netted me a 12.20 @116 mph on street tyres i did the conversion myself but when it comes to sumps i just bolted my old rb25det sump on there was a second set of bolt holes on the bottom of the rb26 block i had to grind away part of the oil pickup but that was it. being an r33 i had the rb25 5 speed and that thing is still going strong total cost around 5ish for me i think i used everything from the half cut plus a new clutch and thats about it i think but compared to the rb25 powered r31 ive got my 33 shits all over it my r31 makes similar power on low boost but it would have gotten its ass handed to it by the r33 on the street or the racetrack

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
