New Autospeed Article - My Rb30Dett Build

[dorifticon]

New article in autospeed about my r32 GTR with rb30dett build:

http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_112538/article.html

This is part II of the build - there is a link to part one (the rb26 bolt-on build) in the first para of the article.

Let me know what you think!

Very well written. Anyone thinking about the conversion should have a read of this article first

[DR 32R]

Agree, a well written article.

[NYTSKY]

383awkw run in tune lol

Nice reads. I had read your revisited one a while back.

I am somewhat curious of the power outputs... Your 2530 adventure saw you make stock like numbers..

And now your RB30 adventure seems to have panned out again to fairly entry level numbers.

By no way am I knocking you or your build, I admire the effort and especially your articles, yet what of the results in your eyes?

[GTRNUR]

Good article. The only error I found was the mentioning of 10mm head studs in the RB30, where as they are actually 11mm.

[gtr fan]

I remember your previous article.

I thought Autospeed blog ceased to exist some time ago.

Excellent read, there is so much that i hadn't even considered was involved.

[The Bogan]

What restricters did you use, and have you had any oil overflow issues at the track.

Thanks, Mark.

Um, 279 kilowatts at all four wheels on an r32 GTR is "stock-like" numbers?

Don't know where to begin with that one. As for 383 kw at the treads being entry level...

I did say dont take offense..

280 at all 4 is definitely doable for the stock turbos. A full exhaust and a tune will net that without too much drama.

I call 380 entry level when comparing it to 26s, I guess I felt a cammed 30 would fairy easily exceed 400 with these turbos. Its certainly not a small number but is more or less what you see from factory motors.

Have you ever run it on a different dyno?

[Mr. Keets]

Welll written Andrew; I agree with Steve-O...a must read for anyone contemplating a 30 swap.

I knew you were in trouble when i saw the pic of the HKS triple plate "quite abrupt engagement" lol. I just got rid of my HKS twin for a ORC.

Yeah my car makes a bit more power than it should on ESP's dyno (see my sig, that should be more around the 18psi figure for the turbo I'd think)
