Im looking into building a approx 400rwkw RB30 for tarmac events, track days, and street use.

I was wondering on the best (performance and value for money turbo, and wastegate size).

Alot of people recommend the GT35r, but they dont seem to make the numbers? and that is confirmed by my rough fugures on the compressor maps (i could be very wrong).

I would prefer to use garrett as i can get them reasonably cheap - oh and i dont want to run to much boost, over 20psi say as i only have access to 95octane gas.

Also, is a 38mm wastegate suitable or do i need to use a 45-48mm size bearing in mind the later is generally twice the price.

cheers

do you know that 400rwkw is about 536hp, dont thing there is any turbo on the market that will produce that power on or under 20psi and still be streetable, especially on 95ron fuel. suggest you be a little more realistic with power figure, say 300kw. Can make this power with GT35/40 with 1.00 or 1.06 rear with other supporting mods safely on pump on mild boost. 38mm gate will be ample for this combination. If you go bigger like a Gt42 or TA45 you may need to step it up to a 48mm or 50mm gate. but these turbos are designed to be boosted hard. They really dont work efficiently on lower boost pressures and you are still stuck with the lag factor. Good luck with it.

Why cant you get better fuel?

If I wanted response for track days etc I'd use low mounted 2530's or mabye N1's.

GT30? (one of the bigger ones) Dunno if it can do it on low boost but.

I agree.

Relating to the wategate sizing part of the question, there is a link in the sticky "Guide" :D

Hmmmmmm………

3 litre (not a 2.6)

400 rwkw (not 450 rwkw)

20 psi (ouch)

Track work (yep)

Response (tricky)

Hmmmmmm………

I reckon you would just about satisfy all of those with a T04Z

But you are going to need to very carefully select your compression ratio, head work, camshaft duration and lift. Then its down to tuning, tuning, tuning.

:D cheers :D

PS; tip, get some toluene and get that ron up, make the job a lot easier.

Thanks for the info guys, im limited to 95ron as im in NZ, and they dont seem to give a stuff about the quality of fuel the give us... are octane boosters worth using?

I realise 400rwkw is a bit optimistc, but its been done here many times before, see R.I.P.S skyline.

SK, i was planning on using a GTR head with standard cams and maybe adjustable gears, with a CR of 8.3 to 8.5... sound doable?

What A/R and trim T04Z should i look for???

cheers

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
