thanks for the replies guys, havnt messured the pressure across the core yet, I want to try and suss it out a bit before I go out and spend 1k+ on a new manifold, the guy who's tuning it think the manifold and split/non split issue shouldnt affect top end power but would just make it come on later. is it normal for a t04z to make 20psi before 3700rpm in 4th? it will start making boost (1-2psi) at about 1900rpm in 4th, mayby the turbo im using doesnt have run of the mill blades in it so it would come on earlier but make less in the top end,

the cam gears are set to 5 deg advance on the intake and 1 deg retard on the exaust, ive read of some people having the cam gear set up completely different but have been assured by the tuner they are in the best possible position.

LOL WTF!!?!?!?!

you have said it doesnt line up with the ports by 3mm...you now have 3mm smaller exhaust ports + the gasses are hitting a 3mm wall of restriction...turbulence much?!?!?

Throw the manifold at who ever sold it to youi really hard!

well your engine is EXACTLY THE SAME as my rb26. turbo, injectors exhaust intercooler.apart from mine having a old autronic smc.

mine makes 376kw on 26psi. stock valve springs. it falls over up top from float isssues.

as for a comparison i went from 315 to 376 with the head work and poncams. so the head is where the issue is. i would play with the cam timing. mines +3intake -4 exhaust.

start at 0 setting and have a fiddle.

these guys spent quite a bit of time mucking around with the cam timing aparently, couple more weeks ill have the coin to get a 6boost mani, then ill take it to the guys a uni group see if they can nut it out. will post up once I have some results though, i think it is in the head but it is the mani that is causing back pressure so it cant flow enough gass out, as its making 4kw more on 20psi from 16 psi

just checked what my cam timing is at, in 5deg adv ex 2 deg retard

mayby i should take this info to uni grp and ask them to play with the cam timing and do a general check of the tune before i get a new manifold?

I have a similar issue 420ish hp is it. I think mine is all in the cam timing

Trying to hard to get it onto boost. My -5's 18psi @ 3500rpm. Mine just won't take any timing.

I have a real big lumpy idle which sOunds tough but is robbing power

that sounds about right, is a few hundred RPM in front of my RB28, but mine goes on to make 710awhp ( hub dyno ) Garrett TO4Z .86 rear, no name exhaust manifold, lots of head porting and 272's

havnt fixed it yet, went away for a month so it didnt get worked on and yup i bought one of those in a 0.96ar two weeks ago, took it all apart last week, when the mani got the flange angle changed it must have gotten too much heat into it and caused it to warp, so sending it off tomorrow to get machined flat again, matched the ports to the head so yeh fingers crossed, after that it'll all be going back together and then have the dump redone (new type of v-band flange on the new housing) if it needs it then off to uni group for a tune.

will keep this updated when i get some news on it

cheers

Had great fun, had to get the turbo flange machined straight as when the guys changed the angle, too much heat and one corner sagged + the weld on runner #6 was cracked and had to be re welded, real quality bit of gear.

But now that its sorted with a new housing and no leaks it feels better, just feels stronger i guess, but ill have to wait a few weeks till i can arange to get it on a dyno for another tune and to see if its not just my head playing tricks on me wanting it to feel better.

Fingers crossed

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
