You are right I'm wrong.

I agree with Miaplaya about the surge at 9psi. Also, if you know you're going to run 9psi, why the hell would you purchase a T88 for a RB26? Nobody even uses that setup on the RB's, they usually run a smaller single or a twin setup.
Another thing, 900whp stock block RB26 is a load of garbage. If it got lucky, it might be in the 800's on race gas with a healthy motor but that motor will not take that abuse for too long. It'll pop faster than corn cornels at a movie theater.
Please show proof of all your claims, thanks.
Alberto = Winner by TKO hahaa

I'm the one who is going to shoot the pictures, I haven't had the chance. They will be here shortly.

I do see a universal T88 upgrade kit but you would still need to fabricate a manifold and downpipe to make it fit and work on a RB transplant into a Z. While I would have to say that the Greddy kit for the Z is a bolt on as it doesn't require any fabrication to fit a kit in which fabrication is REQUIRED for fitment is by definition NOT a bolt on. I still think the T88 is too large. Just to be sure I AIM'd my buddy in Australia who builds GT-Rs weekly at his shop and he agrees he wouldn't run a T88 on a stock displacement RB26. And especially not at 9 PSI. It just doesn't make much sense. Looking forward to the pics though!!
Whatever alberto says on 900 WHP, the owner of the car, or me, have never stated here, if he told alberto on myspace... poop.

I don't know your buddy and if he put a RB26 in a 350z then I commend him for that. That is one badass motor in a badass car. But with claims like 900whp on a stock block, I think that's closer to "big talk" than alberto saying he'll beat him 1/4 mile. It's apparent alberto knows how to launch and shift. Sorry, but I can't say the same about your friend.

If it really has a RB in it running a huge turbo then dont forget not only will it lag with 2.6L compared to 3.5L but RWD>AWD from rolls.
Boosted RSXs eat evos and stis up all the time on the highway.

You still need to custom fabricate a driveshaft and mounts, etc. But the AWD vs RWD argument shouldn't apply here unless I missed him saying his Z is now AWD somewhere.
