Got my rb30det running everything was purse as . took it for a lowkey roll on 5 psi boost everything fine. Cranked it up to 10 psi was boosting like a dream then it lowkey detonated or some shit then started running like a dog . compression on all 6 cyl are 140-150. when i pulled the oil cap off theres white foamy shit underneath .I also pulled the cam covers off and theres the same stuff at the back of the head on the cams. I drained the oil out and theres no foamy shit in there. Can the compresion still be norm with a blowen head gasket. I was thinking mab its gone between a oil and water gallery. only a cheap head gasket but brand new . 1st noticed that mab it was the head gasket when i seen the moisture in my custom 600ml sprite bottle catch can.

What head are you using??

You do realise if it is a rb25 with VCT there is an oil gallery that needs to be plugged as it lines up with a water gallery in the rb30 block....

yea i got a non vct rb25de head out of a r32 skyline .

yea . I was thinking mab a cracked head but i thought that was caused through over heating . Block is just a rb30e with all standard internals thrashed daily as a single cam to i chucked my head on which i got off my mate which was mint. yea still has good compression thats what i dont get . Was thinking bot retorqueing the head . Could do with a plain probly but strait edge had no gaps

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
