You will be hard pressed to find any on this forum with those turbos in a twin setup.

You would also assume anyone with those turbos would be thinking about power more than they are lag. Most people on this forum would consider ONE of them laggy making a little over 300rwkw. Two would be shy of double and obviously very laggy.

Yeah single form you are in the 300-330rwkw region on PULP.

So two of them, 650rwkwwould be a rough place to start the guess work.

If a 3076, smaller than a 3040... comes on round 3000-3300rpm in .86 form on a high comp 3lt, you'd expect about 6000rpm in twin, which won't have high comp given the boost that'll need to be used.

Depends on rear housinsg being used of course.

Hope there if a rev limit of 10,000 at a minimum :D

You chasing 600rwkw+ or not?

Some people consider that 2530s and GTRSs and GT2835s and GT3037s can be a bit lazy in twin form on an RB26 .

I think GTRSs is as far as I'd go on anything with number plates even on a 2630 .

IMO from the GT3037/GT3076R and up is getting a bit extreme on anything other than a single purpose drag car . Like most I've read articles on the Japanese with their denuded slingshot cars but they are not something most would want to use for anything else , basically bloody useless except for the very rich on a drag strip .

It takes a lot more that two bigish turbos to make a GTR a drag king .

I couldn't imagine an engine that was a clapped out Camry one to 6500 revs then an unguided missile thereafter .

Anyway on paper the HKS spec GT"3040"R , todays speak called a GT3082R , is a better one than the one Garrett generally markets though they've been around long enough its exclusivity rights to be over .

I'll look up the numbers later so you know how to ID each type .

The only real difference aside from a HKS turbine housing is the compressors trim which is 50 on the HKS variant and 56 on the one Garrett usually sells . Same comp housing same center section .

The cartridge numbers for the GT3040/GT3082R are 700177-9 for the 50 compressor trim HKS spec version and 700177-14 for the 56 compressor trim version Garrett usually push .

Sadly the 56T one was very common and there are a fair number of them in circulation .

My HKS list quotes the GT3037S 56T (port shrouded comp cover version same as GT3076R Pn 700382-12) as being 480 PS and their spec version of the GT3040/GT3082R (50 comp trim one) as 500 PS .

The reality of the matter is that half an RB26s 2568ccs or 1284cc isn't a lot to have to spin up a 500 odd horsepower turbocharger . Try to imagine a GT3040 on a Suzy GTi 1300 .

Correction **bottom of the mop bucket.

ive heard Hayabusa turbo's are pretty safe. i mean they only lift the front wheel from the power until about 280km/h n then its pretty stable...:worship:

Exactly the reason that twins on a 26 will be sweet, just raise the rev limit another 7000rpm and wheel stand goodness at 280km/h.

Actually Busa engines are not in short supply 2nd hand . You go down to your local wrecker and say I'll have that one , they wipe the blood and hair off and box it up for you .

The point I make is that 1000 horsepowers worth of turbochargers is pretty extreme for a 2568cc car engine if its used on the street .

    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
