Guilt-Toy

its not a direct fit, some things will need to be fiddled with but nothing major. its a upgrade worth doing if the turbo is free.

its about time they did something, the previous pumps are JUNK, these days I won't even let a car on the dyno if it has a walbro pump. No matter what happens they allways eventually fail or they NEVER flow enough. I hate them with a passion they cause me soo much grief. We put 2 in a supra, and after 3 weeks one just stopped working and it toasted the engine. Would have to see how this goes, im going to order a few and try them.

you might have a hole in the piston. that cyl was running in a bad state.

i put 270s with 8.8 lift in my rb25/30 with a smallish bullseye s259 and it is not all that bad. whats so bad about them ?

i like seeing cars with microtech's. get to put a decent ecu in them.

i have the rb30et pistons in my car, so my compression is low but my rb25 head is stock, it still as the pads on it. makes 400+hp on 1.2 bar and im sure its 3 bar capable. engine is 5 years old now with 160,000km

change the thread title to.. "who WAS running a cheap ebay turbo" you might get more info

125km/h to 150 =

as long as they are all showing 15% within each other then you are good. if you really want a acurate reading borrow a decent gauge.

LOL!!! fark someone let jono off the leash again... quick someone go fetch him...

yeah sure... but even with the newer pumps. i opened my pump when i took the engine out and its in good condition. N1 pump.

they do say the rb30's do not suffer the issue as bad as the smaller ones did. how many rb30 vl turbo's have you seen with broken oil pumps?

around these parts... Don't ask questions.. just do what they want..

call me if you want to send the engine to Abu Dhabi, i can mod the head for you and get it ready if you like. It is totally possible to put the 25 head on the N1 block its just no one really ever does it because the 26 head is a better base to start from. +971558452254 Cheers

what have you done to this head exactly? are you sure its better then a 26 head? might be worth your while selling it and starting it again. if you plan on sitting on the rev limiter and getting your "nagga" out for 1 minute at a time in 50deg heat you will need to open the engine after doing it the first time. You just cannot treat a RB engine like a 2j. they were built for performance not abuse. if not send the engine to Abu Dhabi, I can put the 25 head on the 26 block for you.

Can not find a crank.... they all go to the scrap yards.... So..... Picture says a thousand words =)

So after changing the cams in my old RB30DET i started to suffer some misfiring, Paul from Red R Racing mentioned that I am starving the top end of oil with my sydney kid restrictor configuration and i should open one back up again, so I decided to do just that and also get some valve springs from performance springs in QLD. got the springs and decided to take the engine out of the car, lucky I did because the week before I kinda tried a 3rd gear anti lag launch and kinda fried the clutch up pretty bad and as suspected it was stuffed. My Jim Berry full monte race clutch done me very very well! 4 years of abuse and in the last 3 months of its life it ran a 10.8 second quarter! Anyway the clutch was shagged, quick call to Jim Berry and he let me in on some of his secrets of the clutch that was built for me, and how I can get the flywheel back to new again by making a new insert for it! so i got the parts and sent it off to the local machine shop, and what do you know! they managed to pull it off! I re-machined the pressure plate which was still clamping good and Jim made me a new clutch plate after i read the numbers off the old one and got it to me here in the UAE in less then 5 days including shipping time! What a champion!!!! Thanks Jim !!! I removed the head from the old RB30DET I screwed together back in 2007, and what was inside came as quite a shock! 160,000+ km , 4 years, 3 countries, 2 cars, 3 turbo's... 10.8 second quarter @ 135mph (done months before i opened it) All kinds of different fuels, aussie 95 98, e85, Georgian pump gas 91 and 98 octane with god knows how much vodka spirits mixed in to get the octane up, and even Q16 VP racing fuel and UAE fuel which is really good.... The funny thing is this old RB30DET traveled more on the road then it did by ship! Specs of the engine is ACL Forged Pistons Precision Motorsports Rods ACL Race Bearings Crank Collar and N1 oil pump. Not even 1 sign of detonation or knock marks or anything, the pistons were in perfect condition with just alot of carbon build up, the head was perfect also, no marks scratches or anything I was in pure disbelief that after all this time the engine was still going strong and really if i did not change the cams it would never have needed to be opened anyway! The head gasket was in such good condition that I RE-USED IT!! You can tell alot about a tune on a engine that has blown up after opening it and looking inside, so you can tell alot about a tuner by opening his own daily / drift / drag / world traveled RB30DET and take a look inside! =) Remember this car was fully street legal / emissions tested and engineered before it left the country! So we started work on the Suspension parts, Parts ordered. Installation time! I got alot of work on setting up the suspension, I have added sooo many adjustments down there and have no frigging idea what to do with them and nobody here knows either, I guess thats one way that I learn best... get in there and just do it yourself. always interested in you guys suggestions and opinions on whats the best drift / track / street setup if you would like to share... *hint hint* Will post up some more stuff soon, Been sooo busy these days its just been crazy! Some good news though, I am going to come home for a visit holiday from around mid december to mid january, and could be available for some tuning to the right guys, drop me a PM if you are interested.

Soooo... Alot has been happening the last week... I tuned the 2012 V8 VK56DET Nissan Patrol with the Vipec V88, Customer is VERY happy with it considering its only on 5psi boost... Anyway he calls me the next morning and said I have to go with him because he is building a drift car, and he wants one a RB done by me... So we go for a drive to the jap part of the UAE, 1.2 hours drive and then he hands over a wad of cash for this baby... Anyway little did I know that the car he was building he already purchased, a 2004 Nissan 350z. He handed me the car and I drove it around for a few days... Now we removed the engine from the half cut and the 350z, but found the 26 had alot of end float in it and the crank is shagged... ahhh well.. no matter we will rebuild it!

just put a good hose on it and check it out. the engine should be fine if you caught it straight away... if not then its bad luck.

its a stock H8 based ecu

get the link atom

at the end of the day I would keep the power FC in the car before changing to the ecu you have got. flog it off to someone else and move on. save up for something more worth while, look into one of those haltech sprint 500 wire in ecu's which are going cheap and work great, I have put them through their paces and they perform great in wasted and group fire on 6 cyl engines running 600 700+ hp.

you have got to be kidding me. This is sad sad sad news.

thats the turbo we got on the V8 5.6 nissan patrol
