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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
