just want to know what else is needed to run 35psi into a forged rb26

head work essential?

cams?

springs?

A turbo with a compressor map

Its really not a valid question on its own and even my first reply was wrong. The amount of boost has nothing to do with valve springs etc . The real questions are how much power and how many revs and to what use is the engine being put?

The amount of boost does relate to valve springs as the boost pressure is working against the inlet valve, but there's way more to worry about before that.

Maybe op is talking about tyre pressure?

you could probably hold 35psi with your thumb.

Yes it does have to do with valve srings as mentioned above, but I think what everyone is getting at, is there is way more things to do than just list whats needed to run 35psi. Sounds like you want people to do the home work for you. I have never met someone that just told what to do, and people just run out and do it. There would be some kind of human intervention on your part.

Next time start out by simply spending time list what you have at the moment parts mods and go from there. Or you will just get simply answers mate.

Most people I know associate boost with speed or power. Hmm. A friend of a friend of mine had a dodge neon just as he learned how a waste gate worked he cranked the boost to 30 psi and now walks to work. Once in a while I give him a ride if im heading that way. And all.he tells me is "man that car was crazy at 30 psi." I wounder even today if he learned anything.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
