| V8s are meant to have turbos. See how beautiful that install is? |
|

| darkjedi |
| true .... but why dont people do stuff like this on the regular. That is the problem |
|
|

| because the cost and time to get this done... and in the end you end up with the same power... those turbos look too small |

That is a pretty cool swap, but he's the second guy to do it :)
Goto Video google.
Type in "topsecret v35" exactly like that, no space and it should be a 15 minute video.
"It" doesn't appear until 3:15 into the video, so you can fast forward his trip to driver ed.
That is how it's done ;) |

Same power as what? The engine before the turbos or a RBXXDETT? Cause that LS1 probably has over a thousand horsepower, easily. |

with those turbos there is no possible way he has 1000 hp
more like 650-700
they are oversized pea shooters
but in comparison gtr's with bolt on turbos can reach 600whp and you will spend 8k on supporting mods and turbos |

Looks like two T4 based turbos... a single T4 like the PT-76 can make 1000rwhp, so two is probably sufficient ;)
And besides, if thats a 408 or 414 its going to be far more streetable than a pumped up RB26.. 6.7L vs 2.6L |

what you just said is the dumbest thing i have ever read this year.
t4 is the exhuat flange which we cannot see for one thing.
the second thing is a t4 flange is used on gt28 garrets and gt47 garrets-----300hp to 1700
the size of them tells me the engine does not have more then 750. you cant have more power then the turbos can flow air regardless of how big the engine displacement.
when you have a rb26 you will hit boost at 4k with a turbo set up good for 600whp and you can rev it to 9k.....streetable to me |

Agree'd.. But GT28's use T25 and T3 Flanges.. :P |

A GT2871 hybrid can be had with a T04 actually... Precision groups their turbos by flange size, I know what a fucking T04 is. I was thrown off by the heat shields for their size though, McFly's probably right about the HP level looking at those compressors.
I would have went N/A LSX instead of those puny turbos. Or actually if it was my car I'd hang a pair of PT-68s on a 408 in there and make the fanboys really cry.
And I didn't say the RBXX wasn't streetable, I said the LSX is going to be FAR MORE streetable. And thats 100% true, 2.6L vs 5.7/6.7L is going to be a night and day difference for throttle response at a given HP level... This car is probably made for drift actually looking at the setup, cause its definately not AWD either. |

Why would you go and ruin a perfectly good Skyline?
If you want an LS1 then buy a Camaro or other mullet car. Leave the Skylines alone!
I like the LS1, stout motor, but it does not belong in any car besides an F-body, Vette, Monaro or GTO.
The RB26DETT makes the Skyline what it is. Nobody who drives a 600hp RB powered Skyline ever complains about the drivability. It drives like a regular 6 cylinder car until you hit 4k rpm and then it rips your face off. In a racing environment your RPM should never drop below that point so it really doesn't matter.
Just because you can does not mean you should. |

Oh who cares. You could probably argue putting a four banger honda engine into a go cart is a dumb idea... But it's probably alot of fun :thumbup:
It looks so cool. I do agree, the skyline is beautiful as it is. But a frankenstein monster like this is really wicked to see too.
I would take it :) |

RV8 doesnt belong in an MGB but we put it in ours. Why? something to do. Why not do something very unique like this project? |

You generally don't see TO4 footprint turbine housings untill you hit GT35R sized turbos. The biggest common turbos that Garrett makes with a T4 flange is GT42's, but even most of those use a T6/TV/Thumper flange. GT47's are strictly a T6 footprint turbo.

TO4 compressor cover, sure, but the smallest wheel Precision usually puts in a T4 turbine housing is a P-trim wheel, as per Harry @ PTE. A GT2871R turbine wheel would be way too small, nobody makes a T4 housing small enough to fit the turbine wheel.
And for the record, those definitely arn't T4 exhaust housings. You can see the diaphragm for an internal wastegate, so those are T25 or T3 frame turbochargers at the largest. |

I know a thing or 2 about engine swaps.

Its ok to swap out a shitty motor for a good motor, but bizzar to swap out a great motor for another great motor. Its a waste of $$. |

The RB26DETT is a motor plagued with problems, like it or not.
A lack of torque compared to other inline 6's due to it's lower displacement, some oiling issues, and a lot of cooling issues when you get into the higher horsepower ranges. An LS1 will make more streetable power, make more power on pump gas, and give you more reliability. |

Your right Tokes, it has twin KKR330's with T25 0.86A/R exhaust housings which is GT28R sized turbo. I found a little more info on it and it supposedly makes 520rwhp and 630rwtq on a completely bone stock LS1 except for a 228 duration , 112 LSA cam and Comp springs. They dropped the RB25 out because its "unreliable" and this torquey, quick spooling setup is for drifting. Its running 9psi and makes that 630rwtq from 3000 rpm, and should be good for a low 11 on DRs or even a 10.
I spend too much time on turbomustangs.com, I see LSX and twin turbo in the same sentence and I think GT-35/40 or bigger ;) Or a single large frame.
Check this one out... R33 with a Bowtie badge on the front :lol:

I agree with you, a larger displacement engine will usually be more streetable.
The early R32s with the bad crank to oil pump drive are the only ones with issue, although it is a very big issue. That car is an R34 which had no oiling problems at all and consequently had a higher redline than the early RB26.
I've never heard much about cooling issues with the skyline, but the N1 waterpumps are supposed to flow more than stock. |

I don't like it.
Not that it isn't fast, powerful and probably just rips.
It's Bastardization. I can't stand that sort of thing!
Thanks for sharing.:) |

no to the higher red line, they all rev to 8k stock with fuel cut at 8300.
and this skyline blows compared to the quad turbo 6.9L v12 r34 with 1200 hp.
and a n1 water pump will overheat 50% of cars on the street as it does not flow enough down low. |
