Sadly it isnt an rb. Have you seen one in the flesh, they stand about 150/200 mil taller than the good old rb engine. Would be a bear to fit in a skyline.

In saying that it could probably be done. I ran in to a guy with an xr6 turbo ford engine in a 33 a while back. They are a big engine too. Bonnet mods required.

ahhh damn. got excited. still pretty impressive hey. I have trouble enough fitting my IC piping under my bonnet let alone an extra 15-20cm. If you removed all ancillary components you would be able to fit it with some bonnet mods for sure.

R33 engine bay would be the biggest of 32, 33 and 34 ay?

I reckon you could do with amazing results. A soarer would be an ideal platform I reckon. Wheely bar for sure haha!

We,ve seen some mighty impressive builds over the years on these forums but to my mind I dont think we've seen how good it can get yet. In conversation with my builder and tuner the other day I came

I'm not going to debate the merits or otherwise of the quick spool valve here, there is a thread on it already, Suffice to say I like the idea but to each his own. You are correct in your 25 v 26 hea

If i were going to go to that trouble I would throw the ford engine in the harbour and grab the nissan 4.8 with a brian crower stroker kit. Neither of them address the thread topic however. Its abou

Believe me I dreamed about it. Even took to one with a tape measure.

Rough idea for ultimate RB(street)would be:

26/30 stroked to 3.4l (with all the usual bells and whistles:bigger stronger better everything.)

HKS V-cam

Highmount HKS twins that pull 600hp

(when i build mine,permitting im rich enough and stupid enough to buy the V-cam then i will have my ultimate RB aha).

Another idea is to compound twincharge an RB34 like oldmate with the red VL that had compound twincharge 25/30.

Keen to see this RB30 section become a whole lot livelier :D

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
