Hi All,

I've been told that the max boost you wanna push out of a stock Rb26 is about 20psi.

Is that about right?

What do I need to strenghten to be able to up the boost further.

I have turbos that can support more boost.

Cheers

stock rb26 are good for around 300-330kw but all depends on how much power you want and for how long?? you can run more boost on stock 26 but how long it will last before rebuild is anyones guess.. what turbos do you have??

I have 2 x Trust T517z's

What do you need to strengthen? Like the whole motor. and other engine support mods like oil cooler and oil restrictors etc.

To get more than 330 awkw then you need to spend the real big bucks, so unless your going to the track every weekend then your not really getting your money's worth imo.

So yeah your looking at lotsa dosh for more boost and more power.

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
    • Couple of litres of moonshine from his southern cousins would do it...
    • Brakes definitely won't make him faster. They only slow you down. 😛
