Hi guys, the new RB31DET is nearly finished, it's going in the circuit R32 GTST. It's getting a single Garrett competition turbo, mounted low and rear for better weight distribution. It will only have bit more horsepower than the last one, but a heap more response.

The previous post referred to a road GTR, so using low mount twins with internal wastegates in the current rego environment could be the go. By the time I get around to it, there will be a heap of cheap GTRS's around from the guys who don't want to pull down their engines. I reckon a standard looking engine bay with 650 bhp, would be killer at a Commondoor dyno day. None of them would be smart enough to notice the extra height of an RB31DETT.

You guy just have to promise not to tell, OK?

Hi Steve, no I think the bloody things are waste of oxygen. But a chance to stick it up the push rod boys, might be too much to knock back. It's not a dyno comp anyway, just a club day. I wouldn't be going anywhere near a real dyno comp with an RB, that would be like taking a knife to gun fight. The guys had a 7 litre twin turbo Chevy on the engine dyno last month that made 1,400 + kw, the numbers at real comps are starting to get rediculous. I have no idea what is gunna happen when they put that engine on the rollers.

This was almost off thread, but the Chevy had Garrett turbos, so it's a slim thread linker.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
