Was it hard to modify the inlet manifold?.

I've seen that done a few times but haven't seen the results or whether they create problems.

Have heard alot of ppls thoughts on them but no real world experiences.

PS: does tripleG have something to do with this motor?

It was the .82 a/r.

The specs are some where in the damn long thread, I rememeber the total power made was somewhere around the 250rwkw mark, which sounds a little low when I've also heard of them topping around 300rwkw. :)

Do you think the SB8006 should be able to keep up 1.06?

With the GT30 I don't think it was the compressor side of things causing a problem, I think it was more so the exhaust side dropping VE.

they will rev to what you want, so will any engine, it just wont be that good for it...

I dont know why people think another 500rpm or so is alot more, or will achieve something- its does relatively nothing!!!

A well built rb30 will rev to 7.5k all day; an rb26 only revs to 8k (standard), maybe 8.5k with good pistons and over 9 with a forged crank. Sure 9k now thats alot more, but buy the time you have a forged crank you could of built a billit main girdle for the rb30 and molloyed your crank and have the rb30 reving around 8.5-9k as well.... Another note an rb26 with stock cams stops making power at 7200 so what the point reving it to 8k you achieving nothing!!!

You have to remember it is a 3L you dont need to do that to make power, for example the guys in the states are reving 2j 3L toyo motors to around 7.5-7.8 and making 800hp at the wheels.

In short your cams wont let the engine rev harder only change the rev characteristc of the engine!!!

for an RB25/30 i would never use a GT30 or GT35/40 with a smaller A/R on the turbine than 1.06

people use them on 400+hp RB30's with the 1.06 and have 15psi by 3500rpm. with a head that's flowing 30% more the .82 or anything less is going to be a large restriction in terms of back pressure. go the 1.06 or bigger IMHO. a friend has a 25/30 which (when it was running) used a TO4E with a 1.33 exhaust housing from a rotor. it made 20psi no worries and had huge top-end stonk, but did not feel laggy at all. there is quite simply enough torque off-boost to get you there quick as a flash anyway, unless you're drifting and need the response i'd use a large exhaust A/R on an engine like this.

I'm Just about to put the rest of my parts that I have been colecting for a while onto the car.

I'm just trying to decide on 2 things. What size injectors to go 550's or 600's and weather or not I want a Exhaust Cam gear. Is it worth putting one onto the RB30's at all?

StockyMcStock.

I know of a RB30DET making around 320rwkw using a GT35R .82.

That only just makes 1 bar by 3500rpm on the road accelerting as you would in gear, by 4000rpm it will make any boost you throw at it.

Big exhaust a/r's scare me. I think the Rb20DET mentally scard me.

Comparing a/r's doesn't give the same result.

For example a .82 GT35R creates the same amount as back pressure and flows the same as a 1.06 GT30R. Imagine a 1.06 GT35R. :)

I guess all you can do is select the exhaust a/r to match the power output.

My thinking is its no good going a GT35R 1.06 rated to flow 700hp when you are only going to use 500-600hp. A GT35R .82 apparently flows 620hp where the GT35R .62 apparently flows 550hp or just over 500hp, I forget the exact figure.

General Street driving results in less time for the turbo to spool.

So 3500rpm any boost you dial in is more likely to be 4000rpm+ depending on the gear and he is running a huge 4" exhaust. :)

The boost characteristics I think I will still settle on at least a .82.

If I like it I will stick with it if not I will drop to a .62.

Peak power really doesn't interest me. Which is why I went the 3ltr.

A little quote from the thread.

it will be very similar, the .82 was 23hp down at peak power for me compared with the 1.06 both at 25 psi. but the .82 came in sooner and much more violently.

Some food for thought.

I have trimatic with 3500 stall and it is just instant wheel spin, I'm only running 10 degrees timing thoughout hole rev range, its hardly driveable on the street.
I found the .82 housing to be very hard to drive at the track due to 1/4 throttle being 90% hp at 4000rpm up, so it was very hard to drive it off the turns (I wish I got that race meeting on video) it was just on or off like the grp A Sierras were, one particular part of the track has a nasty left hander that you go around at about 150 - 160kph and then get back on the gas for a while before a hairpin, anyway I left it in top (3rd) round that corner, fully straightened up and gave it like 30-50% gas and it would just light up the tyres lap after lap (with 18 psi), thats with 265 dunlop slicks that were up to temp. now with the 1.06 I can feed the power in as I want (within reason for a turbo car) and can eliminate wheelspin whilst still pushing the car and now its running 25 psi so that shows you the difference that it made for me.

I suppose... the 1.06 may be a nicer option.. 10psi at 3000rpm would still have the rb30det going fairly hard. Depends on the efficiency. Might have to check out the compressor map to see what its doing at 3000rpm, 10psi on the rb30.

If you want to see what the 35 is like on the track rather than a dyno, here is a vid of HSVSUX. Think it is the 1.06, but can't remember exactly.

Note:If you want both speakers to work, open it on "mplayer2.exe" and then go into the properties and choose "2nd channel" makes both mono then and sounds better.

I must say I like the corner exit around the 50sec mark. :)

I've done a couple of calcs. With the same VE it appears the Ford 4ltr swallows as much air at 5250rpm as the 3ltr does at 7000rpm.

The XR6 turbo may be a near perfect match for the RB30DET. If it small comp cover poses a probelm with the rb30 at high rev's the .7 a/r comp cover could then be bolted on.

hrmm.. I might take the plunge and grab one of these xr6 turbo's.

The .5 comp cover may actually work quite well with the 3ltr considering it will make peak power on the stock cams around the 6000rpm mark. Maybe slightly more if I'm lucky. ;)

    • 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.
    • My thing I'd be doing, is pulling it out, and just getting the tune cleaned up for now. Before that even happens, checking over everything, like vac hoses, fuel hoses, etc. No point dropping thousands on sensors if the moment you start it back up all the oil leaks out, or it has massive vacuum leaks etc.   But really, to know what to do, depends on what your use case is. Hard core track car? Throw most sensors available at it. Street car, I'd probably just run oil pressure, oil temps, water pressure, water temp, probably fuel pressure too. I don't know exactly what the Link can handle and do with those though. And if it's mainly just to cruise the streets, rather than mountain runs, you can probably skip most of the above if you've already got them in as gauges and warning lights.   PS, inb4 "sell it and buy a modern sportscar"
