Hey. I’m sure it has already been asked, but how many KW could a standard bottom end of an RB26DETT handle comfortably? Because I don’t want to have to strip it down and change the bearings, pistons and blah blah blah…

My R32 is off the road for a while (turbo issues), until I have bought or saved up enough to get all my little bits and pieces.

This is what I am thinking of doing… I am thinking about changing my turbos. I was thinking about the ball bearing Garrett 2530’s or maybe 2540’s and if I am licky I'll go gor the 2860's that are on the GCG web site (are these any good?) - I haven’t looked into it much. And then I want to do my injectors, fuel pump, dump pipes, oil cooler and filter relocation kit, new cam gears, and a power FC. I have Apexi pods on at the moment, but I want to buy new ones, and get a few little bits a pieces repainted in the engine bay. Just to “bling” it up a little. I just bought an absolute banger of a head and its got some major work done to it, so the power and airflow shouldn’t be a problem up top, But would I need to change the intercooler and plumbing too?

Thanks

JUSTIN
