Hey everyone,

I want to build a descent motor for my 31, at the moment im on my green P's and i want to be able keep it on the road legally and to drift it on a dry track with out embarasing myself.

So i need to know if its worth building an N/A motor ,building a turbo'd motor or just getting an earlier model stock turbo'd Rb motor?

Keep in mind I'm looking for the cheapest way to make power!

lots of info on the r31skyline club about turbocharging the rb30e engine from using basic vlt ecu/injectors/manifold/turbo thru to cam changes, ecu upgrades etc etc many guys are making 400+ reliable rwhp from original, internaly standard rb30e motors with cam and valve spring upgrades. my ti has original 300,000ks and 350rwhp and been turbo'd for around 7yrs

If u wanna do dry skids in a 31 and well go turbo. Depending on budget all the available rb turbo motors will do the trick. Like jon says id just turbo the 3 litre. Im running a bone standard rb30 bottom end in my 26/30 d r. Running 22 pound and loving it.

Change the cam, get an a/mkt ECU, set of quality headers and a bigger exhaust and you will be looking at upwards to 140Kw at the fly and 100% P Plate legal.

And have a great base to work with another day.

There is a lot of good things to come from high compression turbo applications. Post P territory, just source everything from a VL turbo and you're away.

If you have plans on keeping it for when you get your full licence I'd throw some forged pistons and put a rb25de head on that means when you get your full licence easy as to turbo it. I've done it twice now, awesome power and really easy to do

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
