We went CP flat top pistons. But its upto you what pistons you want, to achieve whatever CR. Our tuner wanted us to go with a lower cr, while others tend to go for the higher cr.

The view is the lower cr makes the car less responsive off boost, while the higher cr makes it more responsive. However depending on tuning the lower cr helps with less knock and allows more ignition advance and boost without the knock, while the higher cr helps with more low/midrange power but in alot of cases ends up with more knock....but it all comes down to the tuner in the end or so everyone says. Prob abit in it with fuel economy and other bits and pieces, but .5 difference is like either choosing to run rb26 cr or running rb25 cr...in the end its upto you cause its your engine your building.

But then again it depends on what application your building this motor for.

howdy just about to order some pistons for 30det.

can get a good deal on acl rebuild kits and the new forged pistons they've produced.

does anyone have any experiance with these suckers? are they any good? or shall i pay a few hunj more and buy eg arais??? dont really wona spend teh extra dollars coz i will also be getting Hbeam rods.

also these acl forged pistons apparently produce a comp ratio of 8.5!

is this ok for a daily driver which will cop a bit of shit with about 420rwhp???

the car is a r33 is thats gona help.

except those pistons are suited for a rb30ET not DET. I think it will give a shithouse CR something like 7.1:1 its been said. You need the NA pistons to give a better CR around 8.2-8.5 or thereabouts.

No they are 8.5:1 in the RB30ET engine, so when used with the RB25 head they come in around 8 depending on combustion chamber size. I have used them in my RB30 with R34 Neo head ( it has a 58cc chamber ) and comp has worked out at 8.4:1

You are correct in what you said if you use the std oem turbo piston from the VL RB30ET. They were around 7.5:1 std I believe.

Best to use the CP pistons like I sell.

So what compression do you get with your pistons SPOOL

CP make two types

8.5:1 and 9.0:1.

One has a flat top with zero deck height and the other has an 11cc ( from memory ) dome.

Thanks for that spool, just wondering Is their any issues using oil restrictors with VVT.

Edited by JMCY

seeing as ive got this motor apart

should i use restrictors if im using an RB25DE head and RB30 oil pump?

the isnt going to be raced very much at all, just a weekend cruise and a dyno run here and there

yes on an RB26 head block off one and use a restrictor in hte other, size depends on oil pump

i picked up my sump adapter on thursday and i'm going to install it this week, so i'll document the whole process (with pics) and post them up here

rb25 head with n1 oil pump and one blocked off and 1.5mm in other and we have oil problems. Circuit racing is a bitch for exposing problems.

oh and we have vct as well.

Refer to the table from SK's oil control problems in rbs info.

Hey guys been reading this thread for a while now almost an hour lol

just a few qik questions...

i have picked up an rb30 complete do i need a n/a rb25de head or can i use an rb25det head as there is one that has been ported and polished? vct or non vct

also this rb30 has been rebuilt to std specs like 400kms ago is it worth just fitting the head and fix it if it breaks. I work in a performance workshop so rebuilding it is no problem i was just curious if anyone has pushed the std n/a 30 bottom end to breaking point?

cheers

I would just bolt them together with the restrictors and remote oil feed to the vct. Cc your chambers and pistons( you dont need to pull them out) and chech your deck heights to find out your comp and squish, i would go for high 8's:1 comp amd about 35 thou squish, so you may have to deck the head or block of fiddle with head gasket thickness, get a steel head gasket and your done. Dont try to get 1000hp, and it will hold together. You may wish to put a good set of big end bearings in it though. This should be good for a safe 550hp if tuned well, as above this the rods go

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
