Hey guys,

I am after some guesstimates on the following.

When should I see boost with the following setup:

rb30dett low CR 8:1

Standard rb26 head & plennum

Garrett 2860-10 twin turbos

HKS Dumps

3.5" with hi-flow cat

70mm GTR FMIC

At the moment there coming on at 4500rpm. I am trying to establish if I have a problem elsewhere, or if it's the low CR and -10's that are just making it a "oink oink".

I know it's not an ideal setup, but that's just how it's ended up unfortunately. My reasoning is that with the rb30, it should still be coming on way earlier than that despite the low CR.

Cheers.

Well the -5's come on around the same on a 2.6ltr.

You've now gone to the big daddy's, but on a bit more capacity. Virtually cancelling out each other. So sounds "around" about right.

Perhaps they might/should be coming on ~300-400rpm earlier but at the end of the day that's what you would assume.

I take it by info thus far you've not played with the cam gears?

There are always gains there which would see it closer to 4000rpm one would assume.

Yeah haven't played with gears yet, that's probably our very next point of call but.

I think I really made a bad choice by going the -10's. The whole reason I did the 30 was for response, it had N1's on before and started to ramp at like 2000 which was a dream to drive.

Ah well, might have to get some half decent cam's for it now.

I wouldn't expect cam's to change the response terribly much :(

I was hoping when i clicked the thread, it was going to have -5's & 26/30 :)

That would be similar to GT-SS on a 2.6ltr... super responsive and 400rwkw... ye baby!

I wouldnt change the cams, if you must, only go to 260's

The low compression will make it feel like a p!g to drive. If you could get CR up to around 9:1 it would feel a lot nicer to drive.

Ash, there's 2 people up here doing that combo currently :rant:

Hey guys,

I will be changing the turbo's and chucking some cams in. Even if the cams help a little I will be happy.

CR is actually 7:1

So what cam's would you guys go for? You reckon nothing over 260's so I was thinking a set of tomei poncams type B.

Also should I go the -5, or the -7 2860's?

Cheers.

7:1?

Are you sure?

If that's correct, do what you can to change that instead of cam and turbo changes

Yeah it pulled up 125psi/cylinder, which is around there. Made shit power on the dyno, tuner did his best with it but. Top end is reasonable, but the 30 doesn't like being up there like the 26 which makes for a real shitter of a motor. I pretty much lost the one thing that didn't make it such a p1g, which was the smaller housings of the nismos I had before.

I just don't know if I have the strength to pull it all down again just to change the pistons over. It's a massive fkn job. It's running a tomei MLS HG too which just seals the deal as far as low CR is concerned.

Any other ways of upping the CR without doing slugs guys?

Or just bite the bullet and strip it down again?

Open to suggestions. Ill probably still go the -5's as you said Ash regardless of what happens with CR.

Pull it down and build it to between 8.5 and 9.0:1

everything else you've got is fine and does not need to be changed.

I know it's an effort, but it's the solution to your problem.

Also, don't believe a 30 won't rev. There's plenty doing 9000rpm without issue, but stick to 8000 cause allthat revving is just extra wear and tear

and unless you want 450rwkw+

you might as well put -5's on there and be happy with a super easy 380-400rwkw.

So combined with the stuff above - could fix the problems where you feel the setup is lacking. Not perfect, but certainly much cheaper.

Ok thanks guys.

Yeah I am going to strip it down again and change the pistons over. I just got it back together again with the -10's too after some crank work lol.

I am going to sell the -10's and put -5's on too. When I built the block which was a while back now, they didn't have rb30det specific pistons, I must have used homo rb30et slugs.

Lesson learnt anyway.

Cheers.

You dont recommend changing cams? are the 270s to big?

How are your 270s with the -10s in terms of driverbility/boost

Thanks

It was a huge choice between 260 270 and 280s.

Doing it again I'd go 260s, the 270s are great but if the power was a tad earlier that would be nice. Reving it to 9000rpm feels great with nice even power and torque delivery which means it's easy to drive quickly. The closest car I've driven power delivery wise is a 997 GT3, there is no big boost hit like a laggy single for example. Yep, i'm very happy with it, 260 cams would just finish it off

Also, it's GTRS's not -10's :happy:

    • 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?  😛
