Tb48de Turbo Conversion Anyone?

[rev210]

Has anyone thought about a TB48 (with turbo) conversion to thier RB powered car?

I believe someone over east was looking to build an altered drag car with one.

Makes for an interesting concept if it will fit in the engine bay considering reduced effort in making very large amounts of power, perhaps even 1,500+ hp with a 5.15L stroker like this kit;

Lift the lid on a late Patrol and look at how long that engine is let alone how heavy - shut lid again and call it a day .

cappa do a supercharger kit for them, but there is no way in the world it would fit in a sedan

turboing them in the patrol wouild be a great option but costly....

we curently service some basicly moded 1ns (extractors, zorst,chiptorque pigyback, aircleaner) and they go great compaired to a std 1....

turboing 1 would be great...

the guy at the 4wd joint next to work has a race patrol its fited with a 4.2 petrol with a turbo and its suposed to fly... ill try to get a power reading or a dyno sheat. the extra capasity would be great.

thes engines are huge

and i mean farken huge!

some actual engine dimensions would be good to quantify the 'huge' part, having seen a few conversions in patrols the Tb42/48's not as big as a chev/LS1 or holden V8. They are obviously bigger than an RB engine but, they sure aren't 'huge' in the passenger car engine world.

We know someone has plonked an LS1 into an R33 so it would be interesting to find a bit more 'real' info out.

6boost was the guy looking at building the drag car with one from memory.

I agree even stroked these engines arnt anything massive, but with the extra capacity would come alot more torque and potential to make huge power. But whether it would be worth the cost of the conversion and the messing around would be another thing.

I think it is certainly a serious setup proposition, the kit to build a TB48 stroker is alot cheaper for a 1200+ hp setup than anything offered in the RB space. Where money and hassle are par for the course.

Whether there is an easy way to plonk one in the engine bay is another case. If it is relatively straight forward the potential is hard to overlook.

How would one of these engines rev realistically stroked? Where would you expect peak power?

very tall engines they look 95% rb if you ask me

need atleast 7 inched of bonnet scoup to fit it in a skyline

cut out the rear seat n stick it in there.. mid engined skyzarr? no whey
