ok as some of you might have read my engine is showing signs of stress

so as i know rb30's very well i have decided to build a 25/30det

using the na rb30e block and rb25de r32 head with no vct ......i can hear the booing already

but i have succesfully pulled lotsa power out of this set up and the low down torque is sooo good

now im going to start by swaping the rb20det for a r31 gts rb30e and turboing that with vl turbo parts

will my front facing rb20det plenum fit on the rb30e head?

will the exhaust manifold from my rb20det fit on the rb30e

in the past i have used vl turbo injectors but im wondering what would u guys suggest as they max out at around 200rwkw

i will use a dalkhalf (from r31club ) remapped ecu

i plan to run 12psi with the higher compression of 9.0:1 this should be suficient

when i hit 200rwkw i will put on the 25 head lowering comp to 8.5:1 and strengthen the bottom end

i know the rb30 is old and single cam but they are a great engine many people (rabjab) make huge power and retain the single cam for a while it will be rb30e+t

please comment all imput will be considered

thanks Ben

    • Thanks Murray, appreciate the advice, a few things to think about now 😀 
    • After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000
    • Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward. 
    • 15 years is not too long to hold onto something like that, right?
    • Hey man,   By any chance you still have sunroof for sale ?   Thanks
