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

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.

      Spray painting interior plastics

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think this is more a question you should ask the tuner. My assumption is you have nothing plugged into the original pin for ring gear crankshaft, which is where your map sensor should get wired to, but now you've asked the tuner to disable it. I'm assuming (because I haven't memorised your setup) you are using RB25 ECU on the RB20 loom, to plug into an RB25. You will want to check what else is connected potentially backwards between the engine, loom, and ECU. You might be all fine and safe. The best solution you could have done is wire in a map sensor, and leave the ECU able to read a map sensor.
