i just had a friend of a friend tell me having a RB26 in a R32 GTS-t makes no difference and saying that his R33 GTS25 will still beat it, because of his engine and weight. how funny is that :D

Yup, deffinately smokin some good stuff! haha

Car Is amazing to drive now, i cant believe how much more torque the 26 has. even off boost it is different car.

So far the 20 gearbox feels good. The redline oil got rid of all the little crunches.

My only issue at the moment is the fine tuning of the microtech. Its been running mega rich and using a bucket of fuel. Cold starts where a bitch but that seems to have been fixed now.

Im thinking i made a mistake going for a microtech over a power FC D-jetro. But you live and learn.

Cant wait for some dry weather to really be able to try it out. at the moment i cant even hit boost in 3rd if the roads are wet!

remix your car looks sweet. what ecu are you using? How many kms to a tank are you gettin?

hey dude,

did you contemplate about on a 25, 26 25/30 in the r32

or did u just go straight for the 26?

is it cheaper to forge a 25 then using a standard 26? (talkin drift sense here to get input for my r32)

you paid 5k for a 26 but would a 25 front cut with gearbox is better?

im thinking of a few combinations

where did u get yours done at? (your brother told me but i forgot now lol)

i did origanally by a rb25 with a twin turbomanifold setup sleekman. and i did think of a few of the combinations you mentioned but my mechanic just had this rb26 sittin there all ready to go so it was just too tempting.

Peter Grey In Gidgegannup did it for me. Top skyline mechanic. He used to race them and knows them back to front, inside out.

whats your real name? how do ya know my bro?

hey ben hows it going..adam here with the r33! last time i heard yo were chucking a rb25 in and then.... wooosh rb26 comes out of nowhere hahaha, cant wait to see this thing go aye!

hey adam. haha yeah it was bit of a surprise me as well. Just when i decided i wasnt going tot spend anymore money on the car too hah!

yeah we'll catch up soon mate. Gotta show ya, its a real handful

what did ya do with teh 25 with the tt setup on it, im interested in maybe eitehr boring my 25 to a 26 or going a tt25!

Trying to sell it mate. I think the TT manifold and turbos are gone but i still have the rb25 and the rb20

No they are custom twin turbo manifolds so they fit the gtr turbos but match up to the rb25. It came with 32 gtr turbos.

You coulda bought my R32 GTR for 15.5k

Sold now, had a new R33 GTR engine in it with 40k on it and two new turbos with 10k on them.

Oh well GL with ur project.

Mates also got a r32 gtst with R34 26 conversion, N1 turbs, ecu etc things a rocket when it grips.

    • That's the thing....the basics of fuel and ignition are deceptively simple.....getting it to behave like factory in all conditions after airflow mods is way more complex. Newer cars like the V37 are all about modifying the standard ECU which is about a billion times more complex than they were 20 years ago, with a bunch of parameters affecting others
    • The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 馃ぃ
    • That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
    • The GTR strut brace clears the new manifold.. by about 0.5mm. So this means I need to buy an OEM GTT Strut brace (again), which will clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. I guess I can sell the GTR Strut brace with the bonnet with the vents as a package deal as someone will need this one day. So my choices are vented bonnet but no strut brace, or GTR Bonnet with OEM brace (which I have to buy) but is bright red instead of the same colour as the rest of the car, which means the entire front end of the car will just be red until it goes back to paint jail. In other news the engine starts and doesn't leak. Why both O2 narrowband sensors think the tune is rich AF I do not know. The idle is also pretty shitty and my expensive IAT sensor from the USA is dead. The car sounds awful. But I assume or at least hope this is due to the many exhaust leaks, and the concrete garage it is in, sitting there with 0 intake bolted to it, and no bonnet or panels or anything to stop the induction/intake sound which is about 200db.
