I keep comapring all results to Sydney kids original rb30 engine.

475hp on engine dyno, using old t04e and standard everything on 1 bar boost..

anyway.. great results.

Some numbers to think about;

475 bhp = 355 kw

less 60 kw for losses = 295 rwkw

The engine dyno room is airconditioned at 21C , no radiator, oil cooler etc so you don't get as much heat soak as you do in the engine bay of a car on a roller dyno. The intercooler sits in a tub of water (no ice), so the temp is pretty constant. Plus we tuned the ever living crap out of it, spent 3 days on getting the maps absolutely perfect. There might be 15-20 kw advantage in all of that.

So I reckon 297 rwkw at 17 psi is damn fine effort OFENSV, well done.:D

Through a RB25DET 5 speed.

I found it quite interestering the before and after...

No doubt air temps and dyno differences make a difference. But non the less it was interestering to note.

I can't remember exactly how much boost, it was running but it was somewhere around the mid 20's.

For those interestered I went for a little drive and did a complete map trace.

Lots of light load cruise and a bit of spirited driving through the hills.

A few WOT's to 6000rpm also.

RB20DET PFC, RB30DET, Stock RB20DET Turbo that initially hits 12psi then tails off to 8-9psi rather quickly.

interesting piece of trivia:

the 152-tooth Dayco 94407 timing belt is the same as that used on the Audi (Passat?) 1.8 litre twin turbo engines in their newer model cars. it is, however, much more expensive to buy it from an Audi dealer, trust me!

Cubes i have NFI what that 5hit means.

also: the 94407 is 25mm wide, but in the DIYrb30DET guide it says that it is 30mm wide. can anyone confirm that theirs is 30mm?

RPM points are the X axis every 400rpm, starting from 400rpm.

Load points are the Y Axis.

I didn't actually measure my belt. It did however fill up the complete cam gear with only a mm or two to spare, so what ever the cam gear width is is pretty much what the 94407 belt is.

interesting - the RB30 crankshaft drive cog for the cam belt is 25.4mm wide, the same as the RB30 timing belt and the belt i just bought from the audi.

the RB25 cam gears are 30mm wide, as are the RB30. i assume this is to allow for a bit of belt movement as there is no lip to guide it on to these.

are you guys using RB25 harmonic balancers and timing belt drive cogs, or are you using RB30 drive cogs? the 25 ones could be wider?

with my RB30 drive cog there is no way i could get a 30mm timing belt on there, that's all.

yep i'd say the DIY guide is a bit misleading in that regard, all the RB series timing belts are 25.4mm i would suggest.

a 30mm belt would NOT fit on any of the drive cogs, which are just barely the width of the belt. if the belt is enough for a 1.8L quad cam twin turbo it should be good enough for me, using standard cams and springs in addition keeps the loads down on the belt.

i have an R33 DE head - i believe the cams and springs are the same as the DET, only difference is injectors.

I've just had a look at the guide and it doesn't state anywhere the width of the 94407 belt.

It does state that the gates belt has been cut down from 30mm to 25mm in the factory.

I don't really know I used that information from some one else so it's only hearsay.

I'll find that rb20det belt and measure the sucker. :rofl:

hi guys just a quick question about head gaskets. i don't under stand squish zones. i have a rb30 with a r32 25de head, i am going to use stock pistons. which head gasket would be best, what thickness as well?

sorry if this has been covered before.

thanks

Yes that's right, it suits the 1.8L motor used in VW passats and Audi A4's. Going by engine codes they would be the same motor.

The belts costs approx $40 from most auto parts shops.

I'd check my 94407 belt but its stored among the other parts.

well that's sorted - also the front-on picture given in the guide which shows the measurements where the tensioner hole needs to be drilled are spot on cubes, i put mine there and it will tension perfectly once i've tapped the hole.

did anyone use return springs on their two tensioners?

yeah they are locking, i wonder why there's a return spring on the RB30 tensioners, they're the same as the 25 ones i'm 99% sure? anyway i'm using two RB30 tensioners on mine and a friend's 25/30 doesn't use return springs either.

p.s. where do you get new studs for them from? they have two different threads on each end :confused: which is weird, i imagine they'd have to come from nissan..... i shudder to think of the price

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
