does anyone know of these engines they are supposed to be a collaboration between tomei and os giken ???

i have seen a few advertised and am wandering about wether they are genuine or not?? does anyone know the sort of performance they give ???

twin t78s seems like overkill but i am after an rb30 conversion and maybe this is a better solution.....

I haven't heard of such a collaboration but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It looks like someone has just spec'd Tomei parts to fill out the OSG kit....it will be wayyyyyy expensive in comparison to an Aussie built 3L and even a R.I.P.S RB30 from NZ

just read a 400 post thread on another forum about these engines........verdict...no one really had expierence with these and a big power rb30det to compare.

mind if i ask where this was can you post a link??

twin t78's anyone know when boost will come in if at all lol??? maybe 15000 rpm lol joke.....

It is a OSGIKEN short fitted with tomei filled head, not an of the shelf build. It would have been a cheque book motor tick all the best available options for its intended purpose.

anyone know where this 400 page thread about them is????

twin t78s on rb30 will they even be able to spool up????

Definitely the twin greddy t78 will not be very functional at the 9krpm redline they suggested.

I've driven similar setup. The Twin T618Zs hit full boost at 4.5-5krpm. Single T04Z hits full boost around 5.5-6krpm.Twin TD06s hit full boost at around 6-6.5krpm.

I am not sure when Willall's drag car hit full boost with their T67s. If I have to bet, the T78 must be getting full boost in the 8krpm....way too laggy.

BTW what cams are they using on this setup and what is the asking price?

single to4z on a rb30 hitting full boost at 5.5-6k rpm? thats not what ive read and experienced, on my own rb27 with the hks t04z, its making fullboost around 4300-4500rpm or so (that was on 22psi boost).

hmm I better double check with John what turbo it is. I knew I should have not mention this turbo coz I wasn't too clear. It might have been bigger. Full boost was in the high 20 and he had a Nismo cluster. All of the others that I mentioned were around 2 bars. What cams and intercooler have you got on your car?

are you talking about on rb26's or rb30s i think to4z would spool a lot quiker than 5.5-6k on rb 30 ive seen them boost on rb26's earlier than that...im not arguing witht he t78s though im not sure they will come on boost at any reasonable level,

would love to know what level willals drag rb30 gets boost witrh those t67's......

    • Way more than 1cm. Appreciate the advice maybe I try changing the bushing first
    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
