Car: '95 GTR R33 V-Spec, RB26DETT

Miles: 24,000

Current Condition: Bone Stock

Have ordered most of the STD goodies to prepare for this buildup:

* Nismo TwinPlate

* PFC w/Commander & Datalogit

* Fuel Rail, Pump, Lines

* HKS Type R Intercooler

* 264 Cams, Cam gears, etc

etc, etc, etc...

Just finished my RX7 single project, Large Street Port 13b w/Garrett GT35/40, put down 420rwhp @ 16psi (94 Octane pump) and just over 500rwhp @ 22psi (100 Octane). Get excellent spool for my driving habits, starts boosting by 3800rpm, full boost by 4500 - 4800rpm & 9000rpm redline.

Would like to have similar spool and performance caracteristics on the GTR and looking for insight on a single turbo choice for it. The car will be 98% street driven, with a current power goal of 600awhp (US Dynojet). Am currently looking at the Garrett GT40R or GT42R. Will the GT40R take me to 600awhp? Are there other singles I should be considering?

Thanks for your expertise, opinions and advice!

Just my personal opinion, having driven both big single and twin high mount versions, I much prefer twin terbs for the street. They tend to be more responsive and give a broader torque curve.

Also, there is no sound on earth like a GTR with two large highmounts spooling up!

my personal opinion , sorry to say this to you GAV but ive also had both twin turbo and single turbo set up in my gtr's and i can honestly tell you that there is no beter feeling, then driving a gtr with single conversion, (eg t78 or t88) waiting for the boost to kick in and hearing the external wastegate open up will serioulsy demolish any thoughts of twin turbo set up being beter, sorry no offence its just my 5 cents.

HKS T04r cut back, or the new HKS T04z.

Both support around 600hp, although the T04z is newer and is supposed to spool up quicker due to the holes drilled in the compressor cover.

Trust T-78 either 33, or 34D.

thats for high mount single.

However, it would be very hard to achieve (on an un-stroked RB26) 600hp and have full boost hit by 4500rpm. thats with any turbo.

I know two people who have made 320rwkw on thier R33 GTR's with HKS 2530's. These are a low mount bolt on application.

They have a great spool and would hit full boost around 4500rpm.

how much does 320 rwkw equate to in HP?

if u r aiming for 600ps or less then the best option would be to go 2 lowmount turbos ..maybe twin trust t51z's or twin hks 2540's or gt-rs's ..that way it will give the best response and torque ..however if u want to go down the single turbo path ..maybe a to4z cutback ..or trust t78 or even a t67 for good response ...there are other things we need to know like are u going to rebuild the engine and gearbox options!

nocab72,

according to Ray Hall's turbo match app, it seems that with a rev limit of 9000rpm and 26psi on an RB26, you will require a GT42 with A/R 1.22 exhaust housing which would give you ~700bhp and 64lb/min worth of air flow.

yeah, it sounds all good and sweet but then again, i'm not too sure how this turbo would be for a street GTR, i would dare say that it would be quite laggy down low but with a monstrous top end power band.

Hi nocab72, my suggestion would be a Garrett GT35R, good for 700 bhp less around 60 hp for losses on a 4wd hub dyno. However I wouldn't be aiming for that sort of power on standard RB26 internals, particularly pistons and conrod bolts.

As for spool up, being a 3.9 litre 6 cylinder 2 stroke, 13B rotaries have a lot of exhaust gas flow. If you want that sort of boost build out of an RB26, I would suggest around 2.7 litres with 9 to 1 compression ratio, porting and a good dose of ceramic coating.

Hope that is of some help.

Hi Harry, looks awesome. What else have you done, other than 2.8 litres of course?

Full spec here

PS; Why di they stop the run at 7,000 rpm?

run went to 7500rpm - chart updated now (my mistake) - limited as no need to run further - engine was set up for max torque on or around 4000rpm onwards

Nice graph there Harry, how is the car to drive? Happy with it?

Excellent!!! and v happy so far - havent really had a chance to drive it in anger yet - still a bit wet here :)

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
