Considering Turbo Setup Twin Turbo/single Don't Know

[paul f]

well, im still stuck a deleribating on what turbo setup todo. i've go everything eles ready motor preped and my s14 240sx chassis is just sitting there waiting but im stuck on what turbo setup to run!!this is what i know- im looking for nice power numbers in the 400hp, with a great powerband but want amazing or the best i can get RESPONSE that is the main goal a very nice boost curve, i know making hp numbers out of a rb26 in not hard to do but i want a very quick spooling setup with great response. so the first selection of turbo's is what my choices are to run for my twin turbo setup. i have a choice between the three posted below. the next choices are for a single turbo setup. im not really great understanding all this turbo stuff that why im asking the pro's like you guys on this fourm, i know there are lots of turbo's to choice from and rb26 setups aren't cheap by all means but these turbo's are all around the price range i can afford so if you can try to keep comments on whats posted but please if u need to infom me by all means teach me please i would love to learn and understand, thanks in advance pual f.

if ur after response and power package u cant go past a pair of hks 25/30's, there spool time is no more than stock and power potential is much better. 400hp is easily achievable..

[R31Nismoid]

2530's are too big for 400hp, and do not have the same spool characteristics of the stock turbos

GT-SS's are perfect for 400hp, and have very similar spool characteristics to that of the stock items.

All the other turbos there you've listed, IMO, are not going to be as good as something designed specifically for the RB26.

So they are all going to be a compromise

What is your budget anyway? First of all you asked for the best setup, now your saying you are restricted

[Cubes]

Response = twins.

[Forged]

+1 for GT-SS -best response turbos for the rb26, period.

i have the cash flow to run any decent setup(5k) i just wanted to see out of the list above what was the best setup to run(out of what was posted above) what yeah think?

[R31Nismoid]

Well, why keep trying to go with some random turbos?

We told ya in the last thread the GT-SS was what you wanted, same in this one
