We had a pretty phenomenal RB30 in last night, the brainchild of a good customer. This is a daily driver, home build and complete credit to the guy. A quick look at the results and im sure you will be astounded at how qiuckly it makes boost and how broad the power and torque curve are... i have NEVER seen any 6 cylinder pull within a 1/3rd of the low end torque this thing does (no gas). On the road this car will fry the tyres in 3rd from 3000rpm..... with only a stab on the throttle boost is instantanious.

Any one care to guess what the secret is?

oh just for interest here is an identical (minus the polariser) setup GT3540 rb30 for comparison

Reference numbers on bottom of graph are set to show difference in power and torque @ 3000rpm

Torque 268nm vs 532nm ! This torque is more than most rb25 and 26's make @ peak :D

Power 84rwkw vs 167nm !

No semi slicks.... :D .....and based on your comments of instaneous boost......I'd say....twin scroll and also judging by the shape of the curve i.e. virtually no discernable difference in the curve between boost and off boost and linear power delivery over a broad rev range.

X2 for spool valve. or possibly something like an eaton M90....?

haha yeah, toyota charger run by the haltech via NOS control (load rpm etc) then via a differential valve into the cooler, when the turbo boost exceeds the charger boost it is business as usual.... of course everything is also compounding so boost builds very quick. The charger drag seems to rob about 10-12rwkw from the top end. A few hours on the dyno and the boost switching/ load point is almost impossible to pick which was a big suprise for both of us.

The graph above of the the 2 rb30's is actually the same car before and after.

I have NEVER been in a car that builds boost and torque so rapidly other than BIG dollar supercharged v8's, its a real credit to luke.

Sounds like quite a tricky setup...and much better than trying to ram the turbos boost through the little toyota blower.

Do you have any photos of the setup?

It really does sound like a Sequential Turbo Supercharger Setup.

Have you thought about using an aircon clutch on the blower snout like the Castlemaine Rod shop setups for v6 commodores. so you're not losing power by running the blower after the turbo takes over?

it has, thats what the NOS control on the haltech is taking care of.... in 3d... not just running off a rpm or boost switch.

    • Yeah that is true. I haven't seen any Australian auction prices for 34s. Did see a r33 gtst series 2 go for 21k at Lloyd's the other week. Definitely seems like people selling their Skylines that have sat in the front yard for the last 10 years are a little delusional.  
    • The exact direct fit seat belts are R33-specific. Should be able to get it from any Nissan dealer.
    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
