General Power Output - RB26


Recommended Posts

Guest Nismo_Freak

Decided to just dump the 26 into the 240SX (200SX).

Heres the mods I will be running:

R32 GTR Motor (Possibly R33)

R33 RB25 Tranny

Aluminum Single Peice Driveshaft

Hardened 4.11 Rear End Gears

Kaaz 1.5-Way LSD (still debating which to use)

Blitz Skyline FMIC w/ Custom Piping

Apexi Intakes w/ Cold Air Induction (try to encase the filters w/ box, if not I'll just duct ambient air)

Blitz SBD iD Boost Controller

Blitz Auto Timer

3" Custom Downpipe to 3" Blitz NUR Spec Exhaust (no cat)

Haltech E6K Engine Management (moderately tuned for power, still want car to be somewhat reliable)

255Lph Walbro Fuel Pump

RX7 Oil Cooler

I believe thats about it for the mods. Im going to use stock turbos for a while and later upgrade to twin HKS2530s.

I'd like to run about 1 bar if that is safe on the fuel system. I very open to opinions and suggestions. Let me know how this stuff works out on your GTRs.

I'd like to get an estimate of what kind of power I would see at maximum SAFE boost levels. I'm perfectly willing to sacrifice power to maintain safe engine operation.

I need a suggestion for a clutch as well.

Thanks guys!

Figured since the 2530s can flow around 320 ps each I would get around there. However I was more or less wanting to know what I can acchieve on stock turbos. Also what kind of boost limits I would see with the stock fuel system (w/ 255 lph fuel pump) and stock turbos.

I think the most you can get out of stock turbo's is 400hp'ish don't quote me on this..

As for your fuel just because its says its 93 octane doesn't mean its worse then ours, in the states they use another method to determin the octane rating so your 93 octane is probably better then our 98 octane stuff.

Dunno... probably the same? WRXs get away with 14 psi on this "93". One of our gas stations underrates their gas... its 93 octane via label but it sure smells more like race gas than pump gas. It hasnt been tested but word is these stations have around 95-97 octane instead of 93 octane. I dunno, it doesnt seem logical why they would put higher quality, and more expensive gas and sell it as 93.

who cares what number its going to put out.  Just build it and see, you cant do any more than that, and no-one can tell you what its going to make either.

Before I go and spend 10K US ... I wanna know what it will put out, ball parked at least. Im more or less trying to figure out what the motor will output at safe boost and what safe boost is. Also general output numbers work well for tuning. If I get the car up there and make 100 hp short of what alot of other people are getting then I know there is something wrong with the motor and I need to find out what it is.

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
