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

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
