All depends on the engine, course all engines have a tolerance for operating at a little higher temperatures.

But I would keep the engine temp at whatever the temp of the engine runs when stock, thus while you do modifications run different oils, coolants dependant on season, larger oil cooler, radiator, cooling plates, air ducts, vents...actually cool tuning as it's known in Japan is a completely different look at performance and maintenace of your engine.

after many years of trouble with this in my commodore w/ worked 253, you need to run water at about 80 hot enough to disperse moisture in the rocker covers, but cool enough to keep performance to a tops, the cooler the temp, the better the performance

It vary's for each motor.

I remember being told my old VS 5ltr made best power at 75degree's.

BUT with the lower temps you also loose a little economy.

ibuckout2... I tend to agree with your comment 'only milk and juice comes in 2 litres' :thumbsup:

Just to let you know, I've never been beaten by a V8, RB25 or RB30-powered car on the street and that's with my old FJ20 setup (everything standard apart from cooler, cpu and exhaust + boost)...The only thing that beats me is a modified GTR and oh yeah, some rotaries. So I'll let you ponder on that bias slogan if you want, but as they say, winners are grinners and Im certainly grinning. My car gets either good remarks or bad one's, the bad one's mostly from dickheads in their commodores with crappy NA engines trying to break the 200hp barrier. Just because an engine has cubes, doesnt mean its good, but cubes can be good.

Don't knock what you can't beat.

I respect all performance cars and everyone's personal choice. It may be your personal choice to like large engines, but you dont need to undermine the smaller counterpart...There are a lot of excellent 2L engines out there, some that can make 600hp reliably. Just for matter of interest, where does your bias come from and what leads you to pay out the 2L clan???

Hope I didnt offend anyone. :cheers:

I don't think any 1 is really 'paying out' 2ltrs. Its harmless stirring.

I had great fun in mine. I felt the need for Diesel power. lol

Which the 3ltr sure does feel like it with the stock turbo turning the wheels as it hits 2300rpm on 11psi. :cheers:

OK dude.

How much torque you making?

I haven't had the motor on an engine dyno.

Nor has it been on a regular dyno as its only just run in. lol.

You can't compare dyno torque figures, cars run different final drive ratio's, tyres etc, all of which affect the dyno's tractive effort reading.

A comparison could be made if the wheel speed of two cars on the dyno were the same.

It will get a cheap tune on the rb20det turbo soon.

I'm curious as what sort of power it will make with the stock turbo.

I have known of other RB30DET's running the RB20DET turbo on 11psi make ~170rwkw with peak power around 3700rpm. After that the VE drops dramatically and power noses over. Thats the limit of the rb20det turbo.

RB30 + small rb20det turbo = bad top end flow.

Without being tuned it does appear to go fairly hard. Low speed 3rd gear corners coming on to boost will spin third gear and send you sideways.

Its a strange feeling having the motor sound like its not reving/doing anything, yet you hear the wheels squeeling.

After I push the rb20det turbo to its limits I will bolt on the GT35R .82.

From the experience of others I expect the GT35R .82 only just make 1bar by 3500rpm.

Guestimating 1bar of airflow at 3500rpm from the GT35R 'should' be around 180rwkw.

If it feels a little laggy I will throw a .62 on it and be happy with less top end but better spooling.

According to the turbine map a GT35R .62 flows the same as a GT30R .82 and the GT35R .82 = GT30R 1.06.

The 3ltr at 3000rpm only just keeps the GT35R .62 out of surge if running 1bar. It should work well.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
