Hey guys, I did a run-down considering my turbo upgrade choice:
Setup: Forged internal, poncam Type-B, RB26 86.5mm
My goal: Have a fantastic quick car while making approx. 600whp. I.e: great transient response/ quick spool-up.
1) Intake and charge pipe : In all case, I will need to pay for custom pipings so doesn't matter.
Advantage : None ( propably, twin will cost a bit more, but not much my mechanic told me)
2) Turbos: PTE 6266 1800$us. EFR 83/74 2000us. Twin GTX2863/60 approx. 2500$us ( if you can find a deal on an used rear housing from -5s)
Advantage : single by about 500$
3) Manifold : 6boost are about 1300$us, while Raw brokeage, Full-race or doc race are all 2000$us. Would you know any manifold in the 1000$ range good for RB26 T4 ?
Advantage : 2000$ for twin.
4) Downpipe/outlet : Again, not needed for twin if you use -5 rear housing. For single, it seems like it could cost about 650-1000$ to make.
Advantage : 750$ for twins.
5) Wastegate : EFR have IWG, but was told that they were not *fantastic* and could have boost creep. for PTE, no choice to go external. Now obvisouly, you want best spool, so your going divided and thus need 2 wastegate lol
Advantage : 500$ for twins.
Am- I forgetting something ? I was trying to see if it wouldn't be cheaper to buy as a whole kit.. I only found 2 shop that do it.
Raw brokerage with a PTE 6266 for 5100$ ( but my mechanic told me not to buy this kit as he dont seems to have confidence in them) I honestly, havent found one review about their kit so I really dont know if its quality or really fit like a glove..
Or the Garage Whifbitz which is 4 900$ ( but run with a boostlab turbos, so I would need to ask for a price without this turbo ( prefer to stick with pte or BW EFR) ) and does not include an intake kit.
So.. what would you do ? try to buy everything separately or buy as a kit ?
Go single or stick with twins ?
Thanks for helping me clearing this out :thumbsup:
