Decided I'm no longer going to turbo my R31, and instead put the money to better use on my other car. So have all the following VL Turbo parts available.. most of them are all that is required for a turbo conversion on rb30e.

Not very negotiable on prices, as I know these can be difficult to track down, and it took me a while.

$150 RB30ET std. injectors

$150 RB30ET auto ecu (will work in manual fine)

$200 RB30ET manifold

$100 RB20DET piping + stock intercooler

These will be useful if you're going to use a stock VL T3 turbo:

$70 RB30ET Crossover

$60 RB30E cast dump pipe from turbo.

Strap these to an RB30E and push 130rwkw+ in your R31.. A nice match for any stock R32 or R32

All are in VGC. Can provide photos if you are really interested.

Number is 0417 016 326..

Please advise this dumb ass old fart how you get 130rwkw strapping on all the VL turbo bits when the VL turbo was only rated at 150Kw from the factory.

It is my understanding that a loss of between 20 & 30% was expected to be lost through the drive train.

This would result at the absolute best 120, but more likely 100-105rwkw.

Cheers.

higher compression in the RB30E vs ET - keep the boost about 7-9 psi and you will make 130 easily. it's only 160-170 at the flywheel, not that much really.

there is another, different way to make 130rwkw on an RB30E, that is exactly my power output and i am pushing a whopping 3psi. can you figure it out?

A bit off the track for a moment, but I have an MR30 Hatch, L24E with 8.5:1 comp, planning to transfer all my HR30 turbo bits onto it, including stock ECU or go with a Microtech piggy back system on original L24E ECU.

If non intercooled, how high can the boost be and am I going to benefit by fitting a bigger T03 turbo.

The L20ET engine has an T03 but only .47 rear housing, yet I have a T03 from an FJ20 that is identical other than a .87 rear housing.

Is the L24ET going to benefit by the larger turbo?

Hi Stocky,

You did not open up as to how you got 130 rwkw on a RB30e at 3 psi boost?

Can only assume you are using some sort of supercharger?

For us 'dummies' please tell all - as 80 rwkw in NA form is what I have now & the attraction of a 60+% increase without going turbo is intriguing!

Cheers,

Richard

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
