I was curious of everyone's opinion on using a single HKS gt3040 or gt3240 on an rb26? I don't think anyone has really tried it, considering those 2 turbos are usually only used as twins when it comes to the rb26. I am putting my Rb26 in a project car and was considering going single. I have considered the following upgraded twins: gt2530, gt-ss, gt-rs. I am only looking for around 500rwhp at the most. I realize twins, single or pretty much any turbo upgrade on an rb26 w/ the mods I will have will easily meet my power goals. However, I am starting to like the idea of a single setup since it will simplify and eliminate lots of plumbing and make my swap that much easier. I've searched this board, SDU and other Skyline boards but haven't found much when it comes to the 3040/3240. My main concern is will either of them be restrictive on the top-end? Anyone have any comments on lag? I saw a few posts by people with rb25's using a gt3040 or gt3037, and they seemed to be decently sized for the displacement. I have considered larger HKS turbos (I'm obsessed with HKS!) like the To4s and to4z but, that's too large and would have too much lag considering my power goals and platform (2k lb 240z).

    • Listening to pearl jams best of. Used to dislike them, but have grown into it.
    • Sorry I'm late to this, but if you're still looking or for others who happen upon this, pretty sure these are what you're(and I'm) after.....   https://www.kmakaero.com.au/r32-skyline-gtr-rear-spats-for-gtr   https://www.obsessionr.com/products/muse-japan-bnr32-n1-type-rear-spat-set   I'm personally interested in the Muse set, as they are also made out of ABS instead of fibreglass. 
    • El paso girl is a bloody good meme. But really, NoS.
    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.
