Hi guys, my 26/30 will be finished getting built soon.

It's got a forged bottom end and will be in my r33gtst.

Stock r33 gtr turbo's will be on for the run-in and final tune due to finances, but am now saving for a decent set.

They will run 14psi and wont see the track

I have searched and came up with 2560's int gate.

My thinking for this is that i want more power than the stock ones can give me reliably and i only have the rears to get trackion.

So what do you guys recomend?

It's a street car first with occasional track use.

I'd also like to keep them a direct bolt on :(

Thanks Simon.

2530's/Garrett equivs would be my pick for a 26/30.

Blistering response due to the added capacity.

Be aware though, its going to take a very sensible & skilled driver to pilot it.

RWD and big power dont generally mix well with all people, ive seen it end in tears and hospitals many times over the years.

So its either those, or just get steel wheels in the stockers.

But IMO you want a little big of later delivery as with the 26/30 its going to feel like a V8 it'll have that much down low on stock/smaller turbos so it'll turn tyres in a blink of an eye.

But the offset is the larger ones will net you much larger power, but it will still turn tyres as it comes onto boost i reckon... so more of a danger trap!

And the above, is why i stuck with 2.6ltr/gt-ss personally :(

My RB26/30 is long overdue to be completed so should have it back soon. I'll be using the twin Garrett 2860 (-5 model). Hopefully I'll be able to give you some results. I am hoping it should make a great response car for street/track and make about 500 flywheel horsepower without too much stress.

Ye, the car in question was a 2.6ltr with those turbos (IIRC) and it was frying the tyres with absolute ease and great response.

So the smaller ones i have will be just that little bit more furious again, which im actually looking forward too coming from a GT30/270rwkw setup that came on around 4k vs this new one which will be a LOT earlier so it will be a challenge and a driving expirience im looking forward too having come from V8's years ago :)

Thanks for the replys.

I think i'll stick with the stockers for now. With some steel wheels.

Down the track i'll end up putting the engine into a gtr most likely a 32, and then slapping on some bigger turbos.

At the same time do some head work, and cams :nyaanyaa:

Should be some fun in a rwd though !!

Cheers Simon.

Yeah, melb sux in that way.

The engine will look stock and i'm going to try to keep it that way for as long as possible.

With the stock turbos on i'm aiming for around 240rwkw.

once the steel wheels are on ill push it more.

With only rwd huge kw's isnt going to get me far. Torque should be good :P

When the engine eventually goes into a gtr the bigger turbo's will be sourced.

I've got some R34 std turbo's for sale for $750. They'll be a nice upgrade from ur 33 turbo's, as the ones i've got are only 30k old and were on a stock car, also the R34's are ball bearing. I've also got a pair of new R34 N1's that came off a NUR that i was going to put on my 26/30, but im now thinking about some GT-RS's, ill let the N1's go for ~$3200.

P.S shamless plug i know, but just showing simon some options :P

Based on what, says stockers wont work good?

IMO, they would work brilliantly... keeping them to around 10psi as you dont need as much boost to make the power being that is less restriction with capacity.

It would be on boost very early and feel much like a V8 with delivery early. You cant say instant torque is a bad thing.

IMO - Very interesting to see how it does perform on the stockers i think, and im interested in the results of it.

I thought about GT-SS on a 26/30 for a while, just couldnt justify the cost of going 3ltr, or the hassle of fitment among other things.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
