Hi I have a set of GT2859R-9s that im wanting to rebuild and put on my rb26 gts4 32. I am wanting to push around 400-500hp and was wondering is that possible?

to note the car has the following mods 880cc injectors, echuast, apexi fc commander, oem fuel pump. 

should i do any other mods because the turbos are out?

also what ecu do people recommend (in future im wanting to go single turbo set up)

thanks all!

17+ years of information right here


Who ever will be tuning go with what ecu they recommend, most likely a Link or Haltech as they are the most common and more budget orientated.

sell the turbos, buy a turbo.

To be honest, since the turbos are out, you might as well just go single and at the same time get rid of the PowerFC, AFM, and any outdated parts like the injectors and fuel pump.

They are good turbos, but you're not hitting 500hp at the wheels on these unless you're on E85. Even then they will be out of puff with no more left at 1.5 - 1.6bar.

400 - 450hp is it on unleaded on 1.3 - 1.4bar.

If you want to go single turbo then skip the faffing about and just go straight to the single turbo? The cost of rebuilding those turbos is a non-trivial cost.

Thread reminds me of my journey... dropped my 26 to swap bearings and upgrade sump, ended up with a 3.2 with big single bla bla bla. :banana:

standard Skyline ownership, always a level of autistic behaviour involved.

I don't want more than 300kW, nek minnit built motor dis dat.

They can make 500whp but the supporting mods you'd require would be extremely costly. There is a R34 GTR in Melbourne making 390wkw at 21/21psi, but it's 2.8 with Vcam on E85. I'd just go single to make things easy.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
