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

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
