Turbo questions.

[garrett615]

This is my first post. I am planning on doing an rb26 swap into my 95'. I am also going single turbo on this one. I'd like it to make 700-800HP. My first question is what manifold/turbo setup will give me what i want? Also my price range is MidRange nothing rediculous but no cheap stuff.

My friend had a turbo made for him by Precision turbo, for his KA24. Its a pt67, p trim, with something like a .70 AR. They said its supposed to max out at around 850 whp.

I think this turbo might be good for your setup, since its close to the max of this turbo, you'll have a better time spooling it than he will.. And it wasnt too expensive, I believe he got it a couple weeks after he ordered it (they have to build them), for about $1000.

why the fork do you need 7-800whp?is it an ego thing or just want to have a dyno queen?that much power is totaly useless in a street car and almost useless in a drag car (s chassis needs severe reinforcement past 600whp).this is not a cheap endevour nor one that is easily done.rethink your goals, then come back.

God this forum needs a automatic post locker for posts like these.

mid range price and RB26 dont exist in the same sentence. hope you have $25,000+ to drop into your swap/car to make numbers like that safely. 700whp in a s chassis is pointless.

no offense but instead of telling this guy that he cant do it or shouldnt do it, why not just tell him something constructive or something thatll help him with his goal. just a thought.

it would be pretty bad *** to have a 95 240sx pushing 800hp.

i dont see it lasting very long, stock rb motor is sick enough in a 240sx, let alone an added 500 hp, an unexperianced driver who doesnt take it slow can easily find themsevles in a very sticky situation.... id be afraid.

[armysweitzer]

yeah man 300 whp would be perfect for me. Ive driven in faster cars but s13s are pushing it with more then 300 in my safety opinion. Track side is a whole nother story

[240slidekat]

oh well i tried supporting you but i guess these guys dont want to see a 800hp 240. good luck with your build.

[wawazat8402]

The safety can be determined by a lot of things. Tires, suspension setup, chassis prep, etc. But it should be noted that S chassis cars are pretty short to actually put down that much power.

Im also planning on hitting some big numbers, but Im also taking babysteps to get there so I have a chance to scream Uncle before (hopefully) i total my car.

This is not a serious thread. I could be nice and entertain him, but why? He doesn't even have a running RB26 yet. There are a million other more relevant questions that he could be asking. Thats the bottom line...

I am just trying to piece my whole swap together before i get the motorset shipped out. I am going to a single turbo setup and have had trouble finding a manifold for this setup besides the Greddy one. Does it not make sense to go ahead and put a single turbo setup together before i get my swap or do you think its an intelligent thing to have to get custom intercooler piping done twice???

Also when did i ever say this was a street car???thank you for so knowledgeable as to answer my simple question.

thanks 240slidekat.

[Carl H]

fine you want my opinion, gt42 or if you have the balls (and the pocket) a gt47.should provide plenty of airflow while being streetable and efficient.

[garrett615]

i'll probably get the gt40r but what about manifold?

[SeVa-S13]

Dropping all that money and not using a custom, equal length manifold would be sacrilege.C'mon dawg, you're tryin' to be balla, right?

[240slidekat]

"sacrilege" never heard that one before..i had to look that up..lol

There is no problem at all in planning your parts out ahead. but let me ask you, honestly what is your bankroll like... Do you have 10-20 g's to spend? What are you doing to your suspension, brakes, fuel, cooling, engine management, engine work, etc... With all this other stuff needed, the turbo and manifold is the last part you need to worry about. Every freaking turbo manufacturer has a turbo to make this kind of power. Look up Garrett, IHI, Turbonetics, etc.. and you will EASILY find the turbo you need to hit 800hp.

Honestly there are too many people jumping on the RB bandwagon with fairytales of making 1000hp. If your plans are truly realistic and you have the means to make it happen, then I apologize for my attitude. But let me give you some advice. Your questions will be better received if you show us that you know what you are doing and talking about. Questions like how do make 1000hp will obviously get you flamed.

[Carl H]

also like i said before 1kwhp is a deathtrap in an s chassis car.like bluefire said its gonna require ALOT of money and time and unless you are dead serious then you should be doing your homework and researching prior setups.and to be honest most ppl who build stupid high hp cars have been doing it for quite some time and know what should be done as a starting basis.try looking on skylinesaustralia or skylinesdownunder for some good tech info but past that i cant help you much more.

[northstar ninja]

i want to make ONE BILLION HP! MWHAHAHA... sorry about that. had to do dr evil impersonation...

[namwons_240]

garrett, your very first step is to get it runnining in the car first, then build on it from there, dont just jump ahead like that or u will be asking for trouble.

ever seen the HKS rb26 powered s13 drag car, that was a badazz car.

[rbsileighty]

Highly recommend to prep the chassis first...

Then get the motor and give it a "refresher" which is anything from spark plugs and thermostat to new coolant hoses/water pump timing belt, tensioner... and be sure when getting a 26 you get a R33+ motor as with that power a 32 crank will require an expensive adaptor collar in order to run the needed upgraded oil pump (R33/34's have larger diameter oil pump drive which fit the aftermarket oil pumps)

Just remember these oil pumps run ~600+ and injectors will set you back a similar price, ~400+ for fuel pump(s), Power FC ~1000, clutch ~1000+, new lsd ~700-1000+... and these are just a few things you should have for that power level... a fresh rebuild probably wouldn't be a bad idea... there is a tone of nickel and dime stuff that will eat away at your budget as well...

Don't forget ~1000-2000 for the RB25 trans

This is all on top of a fully built suspension and fresh bushings (recommend doing this first... has worked well for me)... etc

If you have the budget... please do it... I'd love to see it!

[northstar ninja]

pick up this copy of dsport. and probally the last few as well. theyre doing a rb26 skyline build thats worth looking at. yeah its all expensive. but well this game isnt cheap anyways.
