was over at Red R Racing yesterday checking out the new engine room. Paul was showing me box after box of new parts for your build.

the deal Paul has worked out for you is a cracker. We got stuck into pulling the 25 out last night and getting it ready to be sent to its new home.

hey dave - paul has spoken about u and your setup in the past...do u have a thread on your car? im interested to know what turbo setup u are running to achieve 604awhp.

its funny if u look at the gtr.co.uk website a lot of the gtr owners have taken up the rb26/30 upgrade as well as the rb30 god in nz (rips racing)...looks like the 3ltr bottom is finally starting to make recognition here in aust :thumbsup:

oh dear paul - no more can u lay sh1t on forklift motors HA!

HKS T04Z Marko. The figure was made at autosalon and was tuned by Paul the night before. It was good enough to win us a dyno trophy :thumbsup:

Specs of Engine build

Mahle Pistons

Greddy oil pump

R33 Crank Grubbed screwed

Tomei buckets & springs

Nitto Vavles

Tomei Cams 280 by 10.5mm Lift

Ported head

N1 Block

Trust Manifold

Hypertune plenum

700cc injectors

Paul always had the 30 idea floating around and one day wanted to build one but in a RWD car as the 4WD RB30 still was not a proven combo in aust. Now that his friend in Sydney has sucessfully has got a 4WD one sorted and has spent a bit of time with his mate Justin in Brisbane who eats and sleeps 30's (single cam) he was keen to build one that would be 'off the hook'. NYTSKY's new bottom end was going to be a methanol drag engine wearing 'twoogles' current head put into an s13 silvia but when the sale of the gtr shell fell through the plans were shelved. I would have liked to have seen the s13 car completed but having it going in Dave's car will at least have it around to see running instead of selling off all the bits.

Forklift jokes were to wind up you guys on here, im sure you know how much he likes a bit of a giggle. lol.

Keep the VCT with the cams i have now or go 264 IN 272 EX and no VCT?

Decisions, decisions.......

I have seen back to back runs on a big 25/30 with the VCT on and off, the difference on low end torque was very noticeable.

Just out of curiosity what do you use this car mainly for, just as a weekend warrior? Or does it see lots of track action?

No doubt I would lose my license very quickly with that sort of power on the street, ~200kw is enough in this cold weather atm for me!

Read all 56 pages over the last 2 days, was a top read! One thing I would add is you should consider plumbing your catch can back into the intake, that way you will get vacuum assist to help scavenging all the blow by gases etc, might result in a little oil in the intake but generally nothing wrong with that.

Also how much difference was there with the VCT power wise down low? Curious as mine is currently not connected (using rb20 ecu) but I am considering building a controller for it.

plumbing it into the intake is fine on the street but not on the track. I originally had mine set-up that way and saw no blow-by on the street but at Superlap the car blew oil out the breathers, filled the small tank and then spewed oil into the turbo. Coming off throttle into turn one the oil sprayed out the inlet tract shorting out the AFM's, cutting the car out mid corner and almost ended up on its roof!

Oil mist is also detonation fuel.

Just curious how bad the tolerances must be on my motor for them to rattle for a solid minute when cold.

i think it also depends on the pistons u are running, if they're teflon coated etc

i running mahle's & yes they make a bit of noise but it wouldnt be longer than 20sec maybe?

I'm running arias pistons, but its quite a loud racket for about a minute, if the cold start pulls the ignition timing (only seems to do it 1/3 starts for some reason) they don't rattle though, generally the lower the revs the worse it is, might have to look into getting the tune amended.

Anyway I'll stop taking this thread off topic.

So NYTSKY you reckon the 30 will chirp second? :D

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
