Rudeboy - There has been claims for certain people (not gonna name names) that when you want a RB26 motor to make decent power you need to get rid of the ITB's, cams and so on. How accurate is this?

define descent power... depends what you after i quess
all out drag or dyno queen will prob be better with plenum and single TB
i really want to go after responce this time, have a look at the mines R34, it runs stock ITB's
i'm sure you know, but alot of gtr owners swear by the HKS 2530's, glad to hear you keeping the twins
responce=twins fo sho
the mines GTR is awesome, and shows of the true potential of balance, it doesnt make mad amounts of hp or anything like that, and has beaten alot of much more powerfull cars, i think it was the fastest gtr in japan for a while (i think i read it on speedhunters.com).
so descent power is all relative, it also depends on application
2530's are good but expensive, looking at the garrett gt2860-5's
they good for 600 to 700hp and spool quicker than the 2530's
see garrett link for specs and see pic , black line = 2530's and brown line = 2860-5 (spools quicker and makes similar power)
my rb25 use to limit at 8800rpm (not stock valve train)
my gtr, was already limiting at 8800rpm when i bought it (ecu tuned by Veilside) - std limit = 8200rpm, rb26 runs solid lifters so revs aint much of a issue. if i should fit a Ati damper pulley and standalone ECU rev limit will be 9000+ rpm
Twins are nice, Vlakkies had a "special" set of twins, ITB's, Greddy valvetrain and he made 880HP with 150hp NOS, so if that is what you are more or less aiming for, it will make a real hardcore GT-R.
He was faster than the white Top Secret R34 (Big single turbo) on every event.

400m = 10.2
1000m = 298km/h
Really exited to see this build.
Wish you a smooth path to you destination.
Thank you - and yea thats more like what I'm after, 600 to 700hp boost only for track / twisty bits and then add 100odd hp nos for the straight line events
