Iv found a daily driven car that's also used on track running a bigger version 0.73ar as mind are 0.64 or 0.61 can't remember that's running hks 272 with 10.5mm lift with springs retainers and seats. And ported head. Although its making 720hp..

Full boost around 6000rpm sounds about right, which means you'll need to change each gear at over 8000rpm to keep on boost.

I'd stick with mild cams ~270° max, with moderate lift. High lift and duration cams are harder on the valve train. The large turbos will extend the top end significantly anyway. Just focus on getting a lighter and stronger reciprocating mass. Get some strong and light pistons, rods, nice bearings and get the crank checked. Probably look at a dry sump setup.

Can't see a stock RB26 holding onto those revs at high boost for long, especially on a track.

As per the above post, given the fact that your power band will be moved up between 6,000 and 8,000+ rpm.

I am running 272 deg cams at 10.5 mm lift and these are probably not enough to support such high rpm operation. Their efficiency range is much lower rpm, probably coming on at between 3 and 4000 rpm, which is suited to my longer-stroke, slower revving 3.1 and smaller turbos. Yes going bigger with cams means more doughy down bottom - it will be slower off boost than a VL commodore - but for that size turbo you are optimising for high RPM operation. I think the above suggestion about 280 deg would be the minimum, as you will need big duration to maintain 'acceptable' ramp angles.

And your mum probably won't be impressed if you throw her the keys to drive it down to the shops, as per your thread about the turbos, but that's a given for this setup.

Decided to ditch these and start on building a new engine.

Your engine is more than likely capable of high 300s if you choose the appropriate turbo. Shouldn't need to rebuild it, what turbo are you thinking of replacing it with?

At the moment looking into building a stroker engine. I know the obvious for streetability and response the choice for turbo are twin bolt ons and they will punch out the numbers i want but as iv said somewhere iv always wanted a single turbo 26. I thought people are getting decent results from mid sized singles these days?

My personal preference is for a single, tricky to match or better a good twin setup but definately possible.

That said is it your 2835's on ebay atm?... i think i need them, whether or not i win them is another story :P

Na they aren't yet mate. They'll be up soon tho. Do you want me to let you know when they are?

i'll keep an eye out, set my ebay snipe for the pair on there now so we will see how it goes.

With the stroker my brother who's a mechanic is gonna help do all the non critical rb26 stuff. He isn't in a performance scene but is full of knowledge when it comes to all mechanical stuff. And has put me onto an engineering shop in addl who's build some of adel hardest gtr's

    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
