awesome...just read the thread...invaluable I must say. Thanks!

Hi bubba, I've been trying to find the clearance values, do you by any chance have them off you or perhaps be able to advice me how I can check them myself? Cheers!

Thanks guys! It puts things into a clearer perspective now. I had a mate tell me to just leave the crank and balance the rest as the crank is good enough "as is" so better not mess with it. I've already got a crank collar fitted and will check the tolerances...I guess with all the bits a part now it just makes perfect sense to balance everything up. Cheers!

Guys, yes I've tried the search option and cant find what I need so here goes... I'm on the journey of a 25/30 build and in a dilemma on whether to balance the crank or not. I know the RB30 crank is already nitrated and am looking for 350+rwkw so aside of all other mods to achieve this, should the crank in stock form suffice or at minimal do I need to at least balance it? I don't plan to rev the motor past 7k rpm. Your kind advice is much appreciated! Cheers!

please ignore my last post...found the info i need at http://www.paulr33.com ...

Hi Paul, I'm running an R33 series 2 RB25det with a VG30 AFM on PFC, I've got my hands on a VH41 unit and was wondering is the wiring the same for the VG30 and VH41 AFM's or do I need to re-wire to match? I cant seem to get your earlier posted wiring diagram. Cheers!

Hi Trent, Thats a very interesting eye opener...I'm beginning a 25/30 build and was skewed to the GT3076R particularly because of all the feedback on the forum on this turbo on a 25 or 25/30. Would you mind sharing how early the GT40R comes on boost/full boost on a 25/30? Cheers!

got me there...so their exactly the same then... Cheers

PM-R33: Thanks! Are you running a PFC on a Series2? Guilt-Toy: Cool, could you let me know whats the part no on the PFC and whats the difference between the S1 and S2 PFC units. Cheers!

Guys, Can anyone shed some light. I've seen some other postings on this but I want to be 100% sure their compatible before I end up blowing something! So here goes: Does the Power FC for ECR33 work on both Series 1 and Series 2? I am running the PFC on a Series 1 currently but intend to put it in a Series 2, the latter does not having the Ign Amplifier that sits on top the coil pack cover so will it work? I'm also running Split Fire Coils, will there be any problems? Cheers!

who would want to hide such a gem?

Opened the plugs up to check... Cylinders 1 thru 6 were filled with petrol! Drained everything out, put the o-rings in, added some oil in each cylinder b4 putting plugs back in...voila...it started! ran like a bitch tho...prolly fouled up by the oil... drained all the oil from the sump...man, it was more like black petrol! approx 7 liters of fluid came out..i'm assuming i must have had 2.5 to 3 liters of petrol mixed in the sump! Filled in new oil and replaced the oil filter...started up rough but after 10mins idling she's back up to mark. Thanks URAS.... Btw, to those of you swapping injectors... make sure you check ALL o-rings are in and are not damaged. you can use rubber grease on the o-rings to lube them, the injectors should pop straight in with ease... Cheers!

sweet...thanks URAS I'll be doing this over the weekend, I'll update the post on the outcome. Cheers

Thanks URAS, I believe you hit the nail right on the head! I recall very clearly replacing the big o-rings but not the small ones. holy christ! now i've gotta remove everything all over again..haha. once this is done and i have cranked it without the plugs in, is it safe to put plugs back in and start?...i wont risk blowing anything right...with all that fuel sitting somewhere...

will try this... if it works, whats next? can i put everything back in and give it a go?
