Hey all i just come on here i would like to know how much power a complete standard RB30NA piston and rings will hold i know the bottom ends are pretty bomb proof so im not worried about that, i read like 7 pages of the sticky thread where the question is bought up initally and then at least 2/3 other times and on one has seemed to write an around about figure, i tried some of the links that apparently have the answers but they wont work for me.

I have a RB30et bottom end rebuilt with forgies in it and a RB25DET vvt head since reading on here i have found that if i combind these too i will be left with a crazy 7.1:1 CP which i dont want due to street driveablity, and as yet i have found no way to combat this CP problem so i think i will just go with the standard RB30NA bottom end which should give me around 8.5:1 which should be good, or maybe even shave the head to get me near 9.1:1 i just need to know how much power the RB30 na pistons and rings will hold. Also will an Apexi Power FC run this hybrid motor happily?

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thank you for ur time

Lars

we did a turbo set up on an unopened na rb30 at my old workshop

after we were done with it, it was making around 210 kw at the wheels no problem

that was over a year ago and the car is still running around on that motor

im sure you could push for more but you would be running a risk in the reliability department

hope this helped

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
