Just got off the dyno. So far traction at 10psi (more than twins (2860-5) would have gotten me on the rb26) traction is still there. Not gonna give my hp yet but i have a grin for 10psi... Something is wrong with the boost solenoid and we couldn't get it to boost above 10psi. I am on a 4psi wastegate spring and it was just creeping up to 10, the solenoid wasn't doing anything. Granted when I turn up the boost that's gonna be an issue...

f*** gorgeous wish I had enough money to do the rb26 swap in my z31 but I love my rb25 none the less. Really impressive work man the mechanic who did my swap is doing a rb26 just like yours love the oldschool hybrid z's
