what are the stock stubs made of? cast?

I wonder how much my car will end up. That RB26 is a pig. I feel sorry for my motor stand. ON3GO, if you want big HP you will need frame connectors, R200, 5 Speed I hear you talking about all your goodies turbo timer boost controler.... it ,adds up.

I did cut the rad support, and yes they are 225/45R17 G-force DR's all around....it sticks to the road.

If you take out the heater / blower I think that is good for 50lbs the carbon dash should help as well. But I think 2500lbs will be hard to keep. And a sound system will also add some lbs....

http://www.xs-engineering.com has them on sale for 588$, and I made the end tanks.

It is 3" thick and the inlet and outlet are bolth 3.25", I know that is big tube but the RB26 dumps in and out at that size and the runs of tube are short. The dyno will tell if that is too big.......we will see

Stony, http://xs-engineering.com has it on sale for 588$ and I have spare end tank parts i can send you for free, you pay shipping. Did you get your sump yet?

It is a Apexi GTR core with custom end tanks I made.

It is a Apexi GTR core with custom end tanks I made.

your feed line is O.K, the return line is too small. This is what I did, a sump with two -6AN lines

Me and stony bolth have RB26's and bolth run SDS. http://www.sdsefi.com

Looking good, what size of intercooler is that? It was hard to fit my Apexi GTR core.

Should be around 100$ an hour.

could you not just put injector bosses on the SU intake?

You think i would need companion flanges as well. You think the 300M stubs would rip up the stock flanges? What happens to a stub when it pops? I have only seen the ones that break at the base of the splines.

also can KA24 pistons hold 450+hp? No I would not use them on a turbo setup, what would the compression ratio be with KA24 pistons?

I was wondering if I just got some new stub axles machined of 300M exactly the same as stock 280Z. How strong would they be and how much it would cost? I have a machinist buddy that works at Bristol Aero Space, I wonder if he would make me some. What do you guys think? 300M is a low alloy, vacuum melted, steel of very high strength. Essentially it is a modified AISI 4340 steel with silicon, vanadium and slightly greater carbon and molybdenum content than 4340. 300M has a very good combination of strength (280 to 305 ksi), toughness, fatigue strength and good ductility. It is a through hardening alloy.

hmm, have you tested the coil, fuel pump what else could heat up? fuel filter, fuel reg...

Check your vacuum lines and your waste gate?

Phil1934, dose that silver car have stock fenders?

I would like to see that truck with a whipple charger on it, I have a 2000 4x4 silverado with a whipple on it, it pulled a 14.00 @ 99mph before I put 9" of lift and 36x14.5 on it. link to a photo http://www.rb26dett.freeservers.com/images/__hr_my_truck.jpg

here is some info from http://www.turbohoses.com Hoover owns this shop and has a 500hp L28. 1. Are thicker hoses better? Thicker hoses are only stronger if they are fiberglass wrapped in "quality" silicone. Most manufacturers machine process their hoses. It provides them a cost effective method to mass produce hoses using polyester fabric, aramid , nylon and cheaper commercial grade silicone to compensate for "quality " silicone integrity. Any structural application should have fiberglass centers. Below are an examples of different brands of silicone hoses. 2. How can I tell a good quality hose from other hoses? Good quality Silicone is apparent from the richness of the color. Some manufacturers use two different types of silicone; one for the exterior and one for the interior. If your hose was not specifically made for coolant or oil use, it usually means a lower quality material has been substituted. However, there are special linings that are for coolant and oil applications. Silicone also has an adhesive quality on the exterior layer. 3. How much heat can a hose handle? Our hoses can have handled over 1000 degree F. in one hour increments and 600 degree F. continuously for 168 hours (1 week) . The majority of other manufactures will fall somewhere in the 300 degree F. to 550 degree F. maximum range. 4. Are cold air intake hoses the same as turbo hoses? Cold air intake hoses do not need to be made from silicone. 5. How do I clean the hoses? A small amount of rubbing alcohol , WD-40 or soap with warm water and just wipe. We recommend using the WD-40 for grease marks. 6. When will I need a thicker hose? A thicker hose is often mistaken for a stiffer hose. The in between lining will ultimately determine the tensile strength/temperature rating and has very little to do with the thickness of the hose. Some manufacturers may add filler to the silicone for added rigidity, but it will not have nearly the tensile strength/heat resistance of fiberglass. 7. How should a hose fit? Any connector for force induced applications should fit like a surgical glove and be snug. 8. Which kinds of hose clamps are best? Clamping force isn't the only reason hoses blow off during high boost and/or vibration of engine. Proper length, tensile strength and overall condition of the hose all contribute to the stability of intercooler/turbo connections. Also, over torque will cause damage to the hose. We recommend either Constant-Torque Clamp and Spring loaded T-bolt clamps that self adjusts during thermal expansion and/or contraction. 9. Why use silicone instead of rubber hoses? Silicone has a much higher temperature yield. Silicone wrapped with fiberglass will have an even higher temperature yield (500 to 600dg F.) than normal grades of commercial silicone wrapped with other materials. The benefit of good silicone under high temperature is its increased adhesion properties to metal under high temperature. Although minute, this will reduce the possibilities of pressure/boost loss. 10. Where/when should I use Spring Loaded T-Bolt Clamps? Spring Loaded T-Bolts are best use at the compressor outlet. This is one of the most likely places that hoses, pipes etc...come flying off when under "heavy" boost. Our heavy duty spring loaded t-bolts adjust to the expansion/contraction of the hose/piping is under tremendous strain from boost pressure and temperature.

You could just run a cowl hood like Scottie GNZ, or mod your stock hood. Just an idea.

Scottie are you talking about the 26x9.5x15 Hoosier quick time pro? and what rim size should I go with 15 x 8?? thanks for all the info guys.

No i have not gone to the track yet, my RB is not even running yet, I was just thinking it would be a problem. I will try my set up before I get a pair of rims and tires for the track. I would like to pull a 1.6 sec or so 60' and a low 11's 1/4. All my buddys drive old muscle cars and make fun of my car, they call it a egg roll, say the body is as thick as a coke can.........I need to prove a point.
