R33 Rb30 Conversion

[MKDR33]

ive cracked about 3 manifolds.. finally i got a couple of support beams welded where the crack usually occured, which was behind the turbo flange..

ive been told to brace up my exhaust system properly, jst as SydneyKid was talkin bout ^^

anyone know what sort of revs a pair of R34N1s will run out if puff at on an RB26/30? assuming everything else is up to the task, i'm thinking there will be a point when the intake temp starts to rise and they will become inefficient.

[Careless]

and yes you did hear me say RB30DEST

look at me digging up posts from a year ago.

correction: RB30DERT

yes, the derty ahr-bee thirty.

Nissan's designation for supercharged engines is an R.

Example. Nissan Micra R = MA09ERT.

0.9 litre supercharged, turbocharged, lsd equipped shopping cart.

by the way... any updates on this super-turbo-thirty?!

[StockyMcStock]

RB30DERT i love it! haha that's heaps better than DEST for sure.

it's still coming along, i am currently enlisting the help of a toolmaker and tig welder to help me fabricate a drive system for the blower. has done 2500km on the turbo without a tune and is going very very well indeed. no dyno results either, but on standard powerFC base map it hauls ass. hoping to have it completed and tuned by christmas.

Any more vids of it hauling a little more arse than before?

I'm assuming youve ventured in to reving it out a tad more?

wait.... there were vids?! anyone wanna link me up?! most of the links in this thread are broken now.

and you, Mr. Hexahedron, haven't replied to my PM. give us canadians a chance, eh!?

[Cubes]

Can you send the pm again.. I lost :S a whole heap a week or two back and yours may have been in it.

[StockyMcStock]

i could certainly be persuaded to take it out for a little spin tonight and show you what it does in the cold air. now i have a working tacho too which is nice, you can see it whip through the gear.

though holding onto the video camera while filming the dash and countersteering as it breaks traction at 90km/h is a bit scary......

[r33_racer]

thats why you need a passenger to hold the camera for you....hehe Your in brisbane right? on the northside perhaps?

[nemini90]

I know its a bit late on the convo but so you guys know most oft the time why an exhurst manifold cracks is because when the joins of the manifold are welded together they are butted against each other and when they heat up they expand and crack the weld. So when welding ther should be a gap so that you get penertration and all metals are fused together

[StockyMcStock]

here's a couple of vids from the other night in the cold, sorry about the size. bear in mind i was doing this with one hand holding the camera so excuse my slow shifts. all of these are youtube links so you can't right click and save em unfortunately.

28mb - run through a few gears, up a mountain

and i was going in a straight line too! cranky bitch!

12mb - a bit of rev limit there

hope you enjoy em.

edit: R33 racer: yep brisbane northside. recognise any of the roads?

That thing sounds horn, sounds like a v8.

sounds like the power comes on like a light switch

[FORZA-MOTORSPORT]

Cool nice footage! She revs really quick, sounds awesome how much boost are you running?

[r33_racer]

actually no i couldnt quite recognise any roads....abit dark, but im thinking mt glorious in the bunya area maybe? or am i way off haha...i live at everton hills. What suburb you in mate?

i was implying that maybe i could have come round and see your car setup and held the camera for you haha. Our rb30 is in the race car so cant take it out on the street makes me cry seeing it locked in the shed for 2-3 weeks of every month.

Just a silly side note, I have macgyver theme song as my message tone on my phone lol. Great show

[Cubes]

Still freaks me out how the thing spools.....

Awesome vids McStock.

[FORZA-MOTORSPORT]

What exhaust are you running i love that sound!! Mine doesnt sound anywhere near as aggressive as that must be the boost

[StockyMcStock]

guys that is running a GT40 with 1.34 A/R rear housing, which is waaaay too big for a street turbo, it's just too laggy. does sound good when it comes on boost though, the noise is due to the screamer pipe and awesome* manifold that i made. car is currently running 11psi and is obviously untuned.

it's amazing how good the powerFC base map is though, i get no ping at all above 20 most of the time, highest i have ever seen is 27 but i know that it's picking up a lot of that wastegate noise. it drives just like a factory tune and has great response off-boost, which is where it lives 95% of its time. in real life the spool noise is incredible, you can't pick it up much on the camera though. gate noise is not as loud inside the car as you might think.

i live out samford way, past ferny grove man, throw me a pm if you want to meet up and have a look.

*manifold may not be awesome.

Losing traction at 130kph, heh isnt that much power a bit silly, you plan for it to be a track car?

Nothing a set of better tyres could sort.

[StockyMcStock]

nah she doesn't turn the tyres in third usually, only when you boot it around a corner and you're already on the edge so to speak. second gear is hairy if you're going uphill or around ANY kind of corner (even a very gentle curve) or the air is cold, i reckon it picks up 20-30hp when the temps are below 10 degrees ambient.

at the moment i'd be expecting 220+rwkw out of it considering that the injectors are maxed out all the way, with my nismo 550's and the twincharge setup i will be boosting it till it hits 300 at the rears, then i'll stop. for a while at least.
