CATEGORY RECOMMENDATION PISTON BX7655 FORGED TOMEI PISTONS BX8260 The stock pistons can withstand up to around 500ps. However, using the 7655 & 8260 turbo at 1.6kg /cm² (22.8psi) boost can cause the pistons to melt and/or the compression to drop. Thus for high boost settings, forged pistons should be installed in conjunction with a high performance head gasket. CONNECTING RODS BX7655 RECOMMENDED: TOMEI H-Beam Connecting Rods BX8260 The stock connecting rods can withstand up to around 500ps. However, high performance connecting rods are recommended for higher power outputs. BOOST SETTING BX7655 1.6kg/cm²(22.8psi) with a boost controller BX8260 The ARMS 7960 and 8260 turbos are capable of producing 580PS and 650PS respectively at 1.6 kg /cm² (22.8psi) boost. At these settings, the stock gaskets and engine internals become it is highly recommended for the head gasket to be upgraded at the very least (MAX 500ps with 7655 at 1.1~1.2kg/cm²(15.6~17.1psi) boost). With forged pistons and depending upon the vehicle, 1.5~1.6kg/cm²(21.3~22.8psi) is possible. Ensure boost settings are adjusted with the car in 4th/5th gear and not at lower gears. At lower gears there is significantly less load, resulting in incorrect boost settings. (At higher RPMs, beyond peak boost, it is common for the boost drop/tail-off) POWER BX7655 580ps BX8260 650ps BX7655 The stock engine can produce up to around 500PS at 1.1~1.2kg/cm² (15.6~17.1psi) of boost. The head gasket will have to be upgraded to a metal type for this to be possible. If the pistons are also upgraded (to forged pistons), the boost can be increased up to 1.6kg/cm² for more power gains. BX8260 This turbocharger is optimized for tuned engines. Accordingly, it is not recommended for installation on a stock engine as the internals may not be able to withstand the significantly increased load/power potential. CAMSHAFTS BX7655 TOMEI PONCAM type-B BX8260 TOMEI PROCAM 270°-10.25mm The standard camshafts aren’t capable of providing the required exhaust pressure to maximize the performance gains from the bigger turbo. Therefore, upgrading the camshafts is highly recommended. HEAD GASKET BX7655 UPGRADE TO METAL TYPE Recommended: TOMEI Metal Gasket Combination BX8260 Increasing boost will naturally increase combustion pressure. To maintain a secure seal at high boost is it strongly recommended that you upgrade to a high performance head gasket with superior sealing. Changing head gaskets will also allow you to adjust the compression ratio. RB26 engines have been known to have weak/think gaskets on the throttle as well as on the intake and exhausts manifolds. These should also be upgraded at the same time. INJECTOR CAPACITY BX7655 600cc or larger BX8260 700cc or larger Target horse power×5.9÷No. of cylinders ＝ required injector capacity per cylinder.

SUCTION PIPE BX7655 High efficiency type BX8260 Upgrading the suction pipe significantly improves air flow efficiency compared to the stock suction pipe which can sometimes warp during high boost. INTERCOOLER BX7655 High flow type BX8260 In general, pressurized air from the turbo is compressed and forced into the engine. However, the air from the has low oxygen content (low density) as the air is hot and expanded. This has an adverse effect on combustion efficiency and subsequently on performance. By installing an intercooler between the turbo and the engine, it allows the compressed air to be cooled before it enters the combustion chamber. This results in improved engine performance as the colder denser air improves combustion efficiency. BLOW-OFF VALVE BX7655 High performance type (not vent to atmosphere) BX8260 When the throttle closes, the pressurized air from the turbo has no where to go and is forced back towards the turbo. This puts significant stress on the compressor wheel and in some instances can be enough to stall it all together. To prevent this, a blow-off valve is installed between the turbo and throttle to recirculate the air to between the MAF and turbo. However, using a stock blow off valve for high boost setups will cause it to relief the boost prematurely, resulting in reduced response and power. Therefore it is highly recommended that you upgrade the blow-off valve to a high performance unit. It should be noted that whilst both vent-to-atmosphere type and recirculation type blow-off valve setups serve the same function of relieving boost, the former will often cause the MAF to give false readings. For this reason it is recommended that you recirculate the excess boost. EXHAUST MANIFOLD BX7655 TOMEI　EXPREME or similar BX8260 By upgrading your camshafts, you can increase the exhaust pressure.

Initial/atmospheric pressure should be set to 3kg/cm2. AIR CLEANER   STOCK ENGINE TUNED ENGINE (e.g. 2.2/2.5l stroker) BX7760 High flow type BX7960(F) BX8265 - High flow type Bolt-on replacement upgrade recommended if retaining MAF sensor. MAF   STOCK ENGINE TUNED ENGINE (e.g. 2.2/2.5l stroker) BX7760 Stock MAF or without MAF BX7960(F) BX8265 - Without MAF 400ps is the maximum for a stock MAF. SUCTION PIPE   STOCK ENGINE TUNED ENGINE (e.g. 2.2/2.5l stroker) BX7760 Upgrade as necessary BX7960(F) BX8265 - TOMEI SUCTION HOSE required. Upgrading the suction pipe significantly improves air flow efficiency compared to the stock suction pipe which can sometimes warp during high boost. However, this may alter the MAF readings. Please ensure you make the necessary adjustments. INTERCOOLER   STOCK ENGINE TUNED ENGINE (e.g. 2.2/2.5l stroker) BX7760 Upgrade recommended BX7960(F) BX8265 - Upgrade required In general, pressurized air from the turbo is compressed and forced into the engine. However, the air from the has low oxygen content (low density) as the air is hot and expanded. This has an adverse effect on combustion efficiency and subsequently on performance. By installing an intercooler between the turbo and the engine, it allows the compressed air to be cooled before it enters the combustion chamber. This results in improved engine performance as the colder denser air improves combustion efficiency. BLOW-OFF VALVE (Re-circulation type)   STOCK ENGINE TUNED ENGINE (e.g. 2.2/2.5l stroker) BX7760 High performance type (not vent to atmosphere) BX7960(F) BX8265 - High performance type (not vent to atmosphere When the throttle closes, the pressurized air from the turbo has no where to go and is forced back towards the turbo. This puts significant stress on the compressor wheel and in some instances can be enough to stall it all together. To prevent this, a blow-off valve is installed between the turbo and throttle to recirculate the air to between the MAF and turbo. However, using a stock blow off valve for high boost setups will cause it to relief the boost prematurely, resulting in reduced response and power. Therefore it is highly recommended that you upgrade the blow-off valve to a high performance unit. It should be noted that whilst both vent-to-atmosphere type and recirculation type blow-off valve setups serve the same function of relieving boost, the former will often cause the MAF to give false readings. For this reason it is recommended that you recirculate the excess boost. EXHAUST MANIFOLD   STOCK ENGINE TUNED ENGINE (e.g. 2.2/2.5l stroker) BX7760 Upgrade recommended BX7960(F) BX8265 - Upgrade required With the increased exhaust pressure from upgrading the camshafts, a high flow exhaust manifold is needed to efficiently route the exhaust gases to the turbine wheel. This helps improve turbo spool and performance. However, on an EJ engine, the exhaust ports on the cylinder head and the turbo are far apart. This means that an exhaust manifold with pipes too wide will have an adverse effect on performance. When changing from an unequal to equal length exhaust manifold, changing to the respective type oil pan is also recommended. Failing to do so may result in reduced performance as the equal length pipes are longer and have more bends. TURBO OUTLET CATALYTIC CONVERTER FRONT PIPE   STOCK ENGINE TUNED ENGINE (e.g. 2.2/2.5l stroker) BX7760 Metal type, around φ70~φ75 BX7960(F) BX8265 - Metal type, Metal type, around φ70~φ75 The stock turbo outlet/front pipe isn't capable of expunging the exhaust gasses efficiently. Especially at high rpms with higher boost, the confined exhaust gasses are unable to flow efficiently through the turbo, causing unstable boost. Upgrading the turbo outlet/front pipe to one with a larger opening helps solve this issue, providing improved turbo spool and stable boost. Upgrading to a metal catalytic converter greatly reduces exhaust flow resistance whist maintaining it's core function of reducing toxic gasses.

CATEGORY RECOMMENDATION BOOST SETTING STD 1.0~1.1kg/cm²(14.2~15.6psi）with boost controller TUNED 1.6kg/cm²(22.8psi）with boost controller The BX7960 turbo is capable of making over 400ps @ 1.6kg/cm²(22.8psi) boost. However, around 330ps is the maximum stock engine internals are able to to withstand before parts such as connecting rods begin to fail. Accordingly, boost should be limited to around 1.0~1.1kg/cm²(14.2~15.6psi). Note that boost settings should be made in 4th/5th gear. Configuring boost in lower gears will result in higher actual boost as load is significantly greater at higher gears. (You may notice that boost begins to fall as you raise the rpm beyond peak boost. This is normal) POWER STD 330ps TUNED 400ps Camshafts, turbo suction pipe, exhaust manifold, turbo outlet, catalytic converters as well as exhaust systems can all impact performance. With stock camshafts, exhaust manifold and turbo outlet around 350ps is achievable @ 1.0~1.1kg/cm²(14.2~15.6psi) boost. Upgrading all the above should make around 400ps @ 1.6kg/cm²(22.8psi) boost. PISTONS STD Stock TUNED FORGED PISTONS Stock pistons can withstand up to around 330ps. However, the BX7960 turbo @ 1.6kg/cm²(22.8psi) boost significantly increases combustion pressure which can cause the stock pistons to melt. Therefore, It is highly recommended that you upgrade to forged pistons for high boost setups. The head gasket should also be upgraded at the same time.
