Since the car looked almost average now, Khalid
was ready to tweak the RB26! Boost is provided by
an innovative HKS T51R ball-bearing turbo configured
to RSG specs. The turbo runs a max of 23 to 25 psi
(1.6 bar) but is capable of a lot
more. The rest of the turbo kit consists of a HKS
intercooler and HKS super-sequential blow-off valve.
The computer performance is improved by installing
a Top Secret 1000hp computer system while a GReddy
radiator proved significant. HKS 272 cams, fine-tuned
with GREX 6-speed transmission and Trust triple-plate
clutch, systematize the valve train operation. The
head gets ported and polished in addition to a HKS
metal head gasket. To fuel the beast, Khalid decided
to run a HKS fuel system at the same time as for
efficient spark energy, MSD spark plug wires set
proved crucial. Others include a set of Tomie pistons,
HKS pulley kit and Trust/GREX brake system.
The RB26DETT now produces more than 900bhp @
1.6 bar.

Finalizing the power-and-style objective,
Khalid still has some unfinished business. Wishing
the car to be more original, he strong-willed the
car to remain a right-hand drive until he had other
plans on his mind. The interior is all business
with Recaro bucket seats and a light-weight Top
Secret steering wheel whilst the pressure control
falls to a HKS boost controller.
