ll Jakester ll Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 hey guys. first post here, was just wondering what some good performance mods would be for my rb26dett in a gtst shell so rwd, it is running 222kw atw at 13 psi atm, stock computer, stock injectors, really the only things done are a large frontmount intercooler and cat back exhaust system. it has cp forged pistons and forged conrods too, didnt want to spent too much yet as 222 is still a fair upgrade from my old non turbo r33, any recommendations and advice is greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

niZmO_Man Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Welcome. Best is to search this site as your question has been answered many times. Go into Google and type "site:sau.com.au <query>". To quickly answer your question, Garrett -9 turbos + tune. Also, this is the incorrect section for your question.

Hadouken Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Get 2860-10 turbos. They are brand new tech and spool so quick. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/457552-easy-ways-to-get-good-kw-gains-from-an-rb26/#findComment-7552445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stixbnr32 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 hahahaha -10's. as about -9's and a good computer and tune. With the turbos get some good dump pipes and front pipe. If your big intercooler is chinese stick with a stock GTR one. Make sure you have new wiring for your fuel pump and one good enough for the power.

Jordy32 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 There is so much information on this forum, nearly every build thread has so much RB26 informationYou really don't need to sleeve your block, lets just start with that.. Spend the money on protecting the engine and it's oil components rather than sleeving it.

GH05T Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 also your in NA performance, so rip those turbos off and get a chrome pod filter. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/457552-easy-ways-to-get-good-kw-gains-from-an-rb26/#findComment-7552678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiRS4T Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 please, if this is out of whack, tell me why? You are in the n/a section - the turbo (forced induction ) section is above. You are evidently in the UK so few here will know anything about UK machine shops Search first and then ask when/if you get stuck...

The Bogan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Don't spend money on stupid things that just empty your pocket. From my experience to much money is wasted on things that do little to nothing, the term "bang for your buck" comes to mind. A good ecu and safe tune is paramount. Do some searching, have a budget and speak to some local shops and tuners. Have you upgraded your brakes and suspension, do you have good quality sticky tyres. UNIGROUP ENGINEERING is good Sydney shop and Yavus will not lead you astray.

The Bogan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Nothing wrong with some China parts, my old china IC was fine for 500hp and my Fenix radiator never had a issue. If you need to have brand names on everything then fill your boots, but if you are just hunting power not brand names there are some cheaper options out there which will do the same job at 1/4 the price. Do your research on each part and how they will all work together. China, Taiwan and some other nations supply to Japan which then just clean them up and relabel them. I found it cheaper to get my exhaust manifold custom made in Australia when I was looking for a strong as steam pipe jobbie. Also look at the US for parts as its usually cheaper to import parts than purchase local. Then do a skid. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/457552-easy-ways-to-get-good-kw-gains-from-an-rb26/#findComment-7553263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadouken Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I had one of those Fenix radiators once. The little overflow spout decided to seperate itself from the radiator when I was at Wakefield.

Stixbnr32 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Never compare Chinese cheap equipment like an intercooler to a branded Japanese version. Cut them open and look at how many fins etc are inside the Chinese ones. COMPLETE RUBBISH. Stick with OEM or go to a proper brand. Seen waste gates not open/close right and BOV's are crap. Chinese turbos cannot spool properly and get comp surge and cannot flow enough up top in the middle or down low. Do NOT put that garbage on a GTR! **That is the knock off parts - there might be some good Chinese made stuff that is its own actual brand** And if you got turbo manifolds that was a mistake just run OEM with low mounts.
