So I've been gathering bolt on parts for the last couple of months to eventually install on my 34. I'm looking at making around about 250rwkw and not much more.

The bolt ons I've aquired so far are :

Plazmaman Plenum + TB

6Boost

GT3076 .82 External Gate

Turbosmart 50mm External Gate

Sard 650cc Injectors

FMIC

Koyo Rad

and some more that I've probably forgotten and more still to order.

Anyways, I'm coming into some extra money and am leaning toward forging the internals of the RB. But I see alot of people here are making this sort of power with no forging at all. How much can the RB handle? And also what is a forged good set up that I could possibly look at?

Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

To be honest forged internals for that sort of power really arent needed. I've read about way too many people going the forged internals route only to find out the engine was remade with a tin opener, definetly not a good one for resale value either.

That is a fairly expensive list of bolt on's for something the stock parts could achive in pretty much the same scenario...

3076 will do 300rwkw, so you have the wrong turbo, 3071 is what you want for that power.

Or just a stock turbo with a hi-flow would be even better... but wouldnt make use of all your shiny parts...

you are gonna make 300rwkw with that setup.... just do it and enjoy it... if it happens to blow up, then forge it...

SHOULD make 300, doesnt always happen. I was dead certain i was with a similar setup, got rather dissapointed when it made 250, but at the end of the day its just a number

My aim is 250, if it goes a bit higher with these mods I'm not going to be dissapointed. I mean the engine is out of the car now, and i've lost my licence for 3 months thanks to loss of demerits, so thats why I'm sort of leaning toward forging. I just want to make sure it's reliable and I'm not gonna be thinking the bottom end is gonna blow on me everytime I start it.

If the safe reliable limit is 270-280kw I think I'll lean toward forging to be on the safe side, alot less hassles for later on if something does go bang :D

Does anyone have any idea on any good brands or set ups for forging? I'm not too sure of any really :) and what sort of prices I could be looking at.

All of your help and input is great. Thanks guys :D

tune was a bit too safe but not bad. tuning it myself now but havent had it back on the dyno yet. was 17psi through an internal gate gt3076 .82 on stock manifold. look at the graph the difference between high boost (17psi) and low boost (12psi) was huge in the midrange but only 60hp up top, with the high boost dropping off hard after 6500. suggests too much restriction on the exhaust side. been looking at making a new dump but finding it difficult to find any pipe and bends larger than 3" that doesnt cost a small fortune

30's arent even run in properly until 500 000 :blush:

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
