hey guys, im at the stage where i want to turn my N/A 30de to turbo. because of the high comp. im guessing 11:1 im thinking of running standard RB25 turbo on around 6-7 psi, at the moment im making 155rwkw and 250nm so im wondering if anyone has done something similar and what power they got. it will also be custom tuned but exhaust mani will be std turbo std and dump std with a straight through exhaust.

I would put a bigger turbo than that on the motor, the stock turbo will choke that motor..

I recall you said it was built from the ground up, so why not spend a tiny bit more and go for a massive turbo and feed it some E85 :D

Yeah ive got one guy interested in the motor, if that falls through ill probably run a cheap turbo setup DIY but get a tune lower rev limit. its built to rev to 7500 easily but power drops off at 6600 so with a turbo wouldnt need it to go that far anyway.

Not sure what you mean it's built to rev up to 7500rpm easily.. a stock motor does that?

I reckon get a Hypergear SS2 or even SS3 or even a G3 and feed it E85.. hello 300kW+ :D

What about an RB25 Neo head and RB30 NA pistons , smaller chamber should bring the CR up to a reasonable figure .

Adrian, I hope you've read the very first post.. he's already running an estimated 11:1 static CR

What makes you think you have 11:1 compression? What does a compression test come up at?

If you want more torque get a bigger turbo than stock and run it at whatever boost makes the most power. Hypergear as above should do nicely.

with non turbo engine internals you want a bigger turbo as choking the engine's hotside with a small turbo will increase internal cylinder pressure per pound of boost.

the other thing is that high compression makes it want to ping its head off. E85 will help keep temps down and detonation at bay. Also a big turbo + less boost will help increase the lifespan of your dirty mix up of skyline/VL parts.

I'd suggest something bigger than the stock turbo, and E85. perhaps go for around 10-12 pounds on a hypergear SS2? That would make for a fast car with HEAPS more torque than you are aiming for currently

Didn't realise he'd already built it with NA RB25 pistons , why is another story . You'd think the original pistons with the Neo 25s more compact chambers is easiest as long as valves and pistons don't meet .

There are workarounds but I think fitting the right pistons is the answer .

Longer cams with more overlap would reduce effective compression to a degree .

Water injection reduces combustion temperature and pressure .

Absolute minimum exhaust restriction so it can reject the heat in its exhaust gasses most effectively .

All these things cost money and only the individual can know their financial vs convenience priorities . I'm guessing the cheapest option may be to grab another RB30E short block , hunt around for a Neo 25T head and start again . Cheap cheerfull rings and bearing rebuild whilst driving the current setup .

He said he has to 25 De pistons in the 30 block. Calculating the comp is way better than a compression test.

Calculating alone won't do it - you have to measure and then calculate - easier said than done.

An 11:1 compression will soon show up as a very high number c200psi on a compression test.

    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
    • Cut sump up and extend. Win win 😂 
    • All, What's the recommended torque for the 1/2 head studs for RB30 twin cam conversion with RB26 head?
