RB30 can be done with stock bits for 3k. - PM sent.

---

a garrett gt30/40 with .82 external gate exhausting housing, cubes uses the same turb on his rb25/30 i think but is interl gate

No Cubes :( uses the 6bladed .6 port shrouded GT3076 .82 IW.

The GT3040's are good but they are a tad lazy. The power delivery feels like it lags a bit then comes on with a rush. The 76 however is linear and much more tractable.

The larger 82mm compressor paired with the GT30 .82 rear doesn't offer any more power compared to the GT3076 unless your running better than 98ron pump fuel. The hot side becomes a restriction. :)

Or.. GT3040 with the 1.06 rear can push close to 340-350rwkw on pump fuel with cams etc. BUT with the additional lag you may as well drop on the GT35r .82 and push just that little bit more. Where does it end. :banana:

Back in the day when the GT3076 was a 7blade (not current 6blade) the GT3040 was definitely the way to go. Hell even the Gt3071 was a better option than the GT3076 7blade variant.

pm replied, thanks heaps!

seriously though, unless you have access to internal & external micrometers, plasti-gauge, torque wrenches, etc or understand the importance of sequences, preparation for initial fire up and absolute cleanliness.......don't even think about assembling your own motor.

I do have a variety of tools on my disposal and as mentioned before have helped with rebuilds so i know what is required, its gonna be harder doing it myeslf i know, but we all gotta start somewhere. As far as machining and balancing etc. is concerned, that is the only part where i will have to pay a professional as I wouldn't want to attempt it myself.

After all the reason for starting this thread is seeing who here has done it so in case i do get stuck i have a bit of reference and first hand experience to help me through it. And it helps others who are thinking of going down the same path and i know there are a few on here.

I hope not :P

Now its a waiting game till someone comes round and buys my bike so i can fund this.

Pricing up forged rods and pistons I've found cheapest prices to be around $1200 + piston rings. Not sure on brand of rods (from US) but acl pistons...

Acl race bearings rod and main just under $200

Sucks its a long weekend so cant ring up anyone else but that's what i got so far. Decent prices?

in the latest fats fours and roataries mag there is a rb25/30 build up feature part1

No need for forged pistons and rods if your only aiming for 250kw to 300kw

agree on the rods.......disagree on the pistons

detonation even at 200kw can kill stock ring lands.......then again, severe detonation can kill forgies as well

all this talk on here now makes me wanna rebuild my dud 25 with a 25/30 setup....the bottom end is gone so should be able to slap on a 30 bottom and as long as other things are fine should be a decent setup.....but i believe that there is more to that than it being as easy as 123

RB30 Stock internal bottom ends start at NZD$4,000 rwd or $5,000 4wd (suit up to 600hp and 7200 rpm)

$4000nzd = 3,243.59 AUD and shipping fron NZ is about 400-450

3rd post 1st link :(

Yeah it is possible to achieve 600hp with a stock bottom end but id rather do it safely and reliably, do it once and do it right. If there is a slight balance issue when pushing those figures, I'm certain a forged bottom end would be able to compensate much better.

As far as forged rods are concerned, I've contacted this guy over e-mail and he told me he sells em on ebay. Here is a link for those who are interested... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=400023741957

Not a bad deal bit I've never heard of that brand, claims that they're good for 1000hp at 10,000rpm with upgraded rod bolts.

do it :P its not that easy, but have a good read through the links Steve put up.. pretty much everything you need to know is covered.

600hp is ~450kw, but i guess its better to be safe than sorry. If you get a reputable workshop to do the balancing, i dare say there wouldn't be any balance issues?

450kw at the engine... take around 18% power loss through drivetrain and you're at roughly 370kw at the wheels which is still fairly safe for my application in theory. As mentioned rb30's tend to have a balance issues so that's another thing where money is gonna be an issue.

I'll be going a ATI Harmonic balancer. Apparently good for 1000hp

Do you know how much these usually retail at? Ive had a look on their website but no pricing for import motors.

Have a look at this thread and Pm the organiser. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ac...html&hl=ati

He was saying on the last page he has a local supplier to get them from now, but never again at the prices in the thread. Also note u may need to remove your A/C.

I'm currently getting 044 fuel pumps off him with no drama's so far.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
