Project 24

I'm with roy... I think the 2530's will make it a bit of a dog

E85 also wont help your spool, just top end power once on boost...

[Roy]

Yeh, the more i think about it, there arent really any secrets for gettingt oo big a turbo / s on boost. If they are too big then they are too big. ITs different if they are line ball, then maybe plenums, better exhaust, some cam selection will help. But twin 2530s are pretty big for a 2.4L. At best i would think GT-SS, but then that will limit you to less then what a TD06-25G or a 3037 can punch out.

Its going to be cool and interesting to see the results

[murrayis]

Only time will tell... Turbos arrived today.

[murrayis]

Quick Update,

HKS Turbos have been stripepd and checked, HKS actuators have arrived, Ti Y Pipe arrived. Engine is still with Paul just waiting on the sump now.

[Roy]

In post 262 there is a pic of the engine. What fuel rail are you using on the engine?

[murrayis]

roy

its a sard rb26 rail

cheers

cameron

[Roy]

And the thing just bolted on to your KU engineering plenum? I have a Greddy and Sard fuel rails and I dont think its going to bolt up. I admit it was only a quick road side measure up before the manifold goes off for some love

[Roy]

Any updates?

[murrayis]

Roy,

Nah the plenum came with a set of adapters to allow the rb26 rail to match up with the rb20 mounts.

In regards to updates..... Intake manifold is on the engine, Front turbo manifold is bolted up rear manifold pulled a stuf out of the water gallery and i'm trying to fix this up now.

I've been trying to get ahold of Paul for the past fortnight to get this sorted.

Cheers.

[murrayis]

So I thought it best be time I posted some pictures of the engine since arriving back from Red R Racing around a month ago.

Let me know what you think;

Cheers

Cameron.

[Roy]

So does the ID of the inlet runners match up where it goes from tube to the original cast section?

[murrayis]

Roy,

Sure does

Cheers,

Looks awesome!

[SimonR32]

I always thought that the exhaust manifold pattern were different from RB26 to RB20?!? But it looks like you have stock RB26 manifold on there?

Looking great, just to give you some encouragement there is a RB24 over here in the west making a decent 500 plus on BP98

[murrayis]

Simon,

They sure are different

I hope for 550 - 600 but I have been saying that for years...

[Wheezy]

Looks fantastic.

Is that still a KU plenum? If so, it ooks like their quality has gotten a lot better!

[murrayis]

Wheezy,

That would be the Hypertune intake and TB

So the head was drilled out and tapped, because I can't see any cut/welding on the manifold!

Sir, You would be correct... But for anyone doing this be-warned there is a water gallery behind both the different studs when using a rb26 manifold on a rb20det head

[DR 32R]

Nice, thought they only did RB26
