    RB26dett 510 build

    I think you would spend mega dollars, have mega problems and have a car that would never be able to put down the power, and then kill yourelf.

    I wouldnt do an RB26 Z either (having done one), I would go for the SR20 in the 1600 as Matt says, or an RB25 in a Z for the best bang for your bucks

    tire width vs compound

    You'll see a big difference in lateral grip once the tire gets warm.

     

    John I value your experience and opinion. With R compound tyres they require warming up. On a mainly road car do the R compound tyres not properly warm up in mostly normal driving therefore making them potentially not as grippy and therefore in some ways a bit hazardouus?

    Whats your thoughts

    Just bought RB Mag in Manila - 245 Tyres what brand?

    I've only ever posted in here so I suppose I'm a bit stuck! How do I move it, or do I just copy it and start a thread in there?

     

    Tyres at home are all usual makes but the 16 size in 245 doesnt seem to be very available.

    I thought guys on this forum with the turbo power would probably have explored this, but maybe they go for bigger diameter rims?

    Hi guys sorry to be excited but I just bought 4 new Rota RB Mags 16x8 here in Manila for Aust $754 or US $519. This is almost A$500 saving for the 4 wheels which is great provided I can get them into Aussie without them being stolen, taxed or additional freight charged - I believe I have all that covered, fingers crossed.

     

    Now can I ask what 245 tyres people have used? I did a search but didnt find much on here.

    A quick check on the web for Aust does not bring up a lot of 245 x 16 brands. I want the stickiest street tyres I can get or road legal race tyres - I have Toyo Proxes RA 1 tyres on my 240Z which work well on the track, but was looking for something a bit more all round if possible - there is a new Toyo Proxes R1R but only listed to 225 for 16's. Toyo Proxes T1R has 245 - anyone used these?

    Toyo Proxes TQ street drag tyre in 255 50 16 - anyone used these?

    Advan dont seem to have anything in this size?

    Other recommendations?

    Is one HKS Super Sequential BOV large enough for an RB26 twin turbo setup

    Thanks Matt for your feedback.

     

     

    Zardilla I am using an Apexi DJetro which doesnt use AFM's so I am only plumbing back due to licensing requirements here.

    However if you are using the whole standard setup then you will need to plumb back to both turbos otherwise the computer will not know what is going on. The standard setup does have a plumb back on the rear turbo into the hose rather than the alloy piece as fitted to the front turbo
