No Crust Racing Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Yes 6262 is the cheapest single kit on there, then need more fab work to connect to cooler and dump/front pipe. Though the 3.6k price is not a BB turbo. How much power will it make? Much cheaper to put new wheels on both I would say. Make some calls tomorrow.

89CAL Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Found main issue, failed turbo.Thanks for the suggestions.Even low km parts can fail. Just be sure that you fix the root problem (if there was one outside of the turbo itself) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470243-lack-of-powerlack-of-boost-rb26/page/2/#findComment-7826700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Crust Racing Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 And another 4-5k all up. Will see what new comp wheels cost and go from there.Does anyone know if there's a billet/gtx upgrade possible?

Super Drager Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Ask if Tao can put a -5 equivalent turbine and a gtx28 comp wheel in? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470243-lack-of-powerlack-of-boost-rb26/page/2/#findComment-7827012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakey pete Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Personally I'd try leaving the existing turbine and just using a bigger front. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470243-lack-of-powerlack-of-boost-rb26/page/2/#findComment-7827023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Crust Racing Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 He can do 64mm billet wheel but that's too big, I don't want more lag.I'm having a chat with him about other ideas, some sort of hypergesr hybrid, but we'll see what he comes up with as I already grabbed some more -9s that came up as you don't see them anywhere near as often as 7s or 5s.

Kinkstaah Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Buy my gtx3582 Sorry to hear about the turbo dude. How'd it actually fail anyhow? Being down 9kw isn't usually a sign of a completely failed turbo... seems to have only failed..... a bit? 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470243-lack-of-powerlack-of-boost-rb26/page/2/#findComment-7827038 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Crust Racing Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Already bought some more -9s, much cheaper and faster to just swap them in rather than have to buy new manifold and fab new intake and dump pipe (needs to go to different shop) and that's just for IWG option, which everyone here will jump up and down about it definitely needing a full TS setup the whole way through.

Mick_o Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 You do realize that the turbines and the "infamous twin turbo pipe" are the likely cause of the twins failing? So throwing a billet wheel in thats gunna require being spun harder is only gunna put you back in the same scenario and faster. Poor man pays twice. Cheap out and pay for another set of turbos in another 5000km ?

Kinkstaah Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Other than stealthiness there's really no reason to buy more twins nowadays. If you buy two new twins, you could buy a single + manifold/fab to fit that for the same money. Obviously cheaper if you replace it by buying one single, but then again the real savings are in known good second hand turbos Still curious how a turbo can fail causing only a 9kw loss though? Maybe just detune the thing to 300kw and drive it around for awhile.

Cheap out and pay for another set of turbos in another 5000km ? Able to diagnose a turbo failure without seeing it/the car/knowing the rest of the setup etc? Where were you when I was chasing the issues that lead me to pulling it down and finding the problem. I could have used your magical diagnostic powers lol ;D The question about the billet wheel was just that, a question, I've heard/read various shit about them so asked the question as an option. If there was an identical shweel size that was lighter and would spool faster for a few bucks more, sure I'd look at it. Can't learn about the pros and cons without having a discussion though, I think some of the people on here forget this is a forum sometimes. 2 minutes ago, Kinkstaah said: Other than stealthiness there's really no reason to buy more twins nowadays.

Maybe just detune the thing to 300kw and drive it around for awhile. Stealthiness/defect issue/RWC when selling later/cost are all factors.I am not buying new units, I found some mint ones for less than the price of 1 new one. New ones are 2400 for a pair as it is, the cheapest single kit is, what, 4k new? For a journal bearing 6262 that then needs more fab work and aooarently has shit response anyway. Second hand manifold and single always an option, but still not as cheap as the pair of -9s I grabbed which will get me the result I wanted. To be honest, I'm tired of throwing heaps of money at it so a cheaper/faster option was desirable for me. Nobody else has to like it, it's not their car Not detuning to 300kw either, crazy talk.
