Hey guys ive been doing alot of research into the RB30DET build and i was chatting to my mate about it, who owns a honda integra dc5 type R. As he is planning to turbo it we go to talking about compression ratios, as i am planning to go with a 8.5:1 ratio i asked him what he was going to do. He reckons he can have a ratio of 10:1 and still run 25psi through a gt35r, at first i didnt belive him but then i did some research and found that the guys in the states are actually doing this on PUMP fuel (93 octane for them) and i was wondering how or am i missunder standing something?

The guys in the states must be using rocket fuel or something. sure anything can be done if tuned correctly but man thats one damn potential explosion your mate is going to have there... My rb30det uses around 7.8:1 and i am running 30psi happily with around 500rwhp.

Engines with less compression are more forgivable on user errors :laugh:

Sure it would be possible with suitable valve timing and sufficient intercooling, and a low enough exhaust back pressure.

People say 10:1 CR Oooooh that can never work, but if the intake valve does not close until the piston is half way up the bore, then it is really only 5:1 compression ratio isn't it ?

Have a real close look at the specifications of a Mazda Miller Cycle engine.

Factory compression 10.2:1 supercharged to 17psi, and it runs on crapy 93 octane.

This is a mass produced factory engine, with full warranty, that can be thrashed by idiots in tropical mid summer heat without any reliability problems at all.

    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
