i had a td07s low mounted on a trust manifold, could only fit it withthe rb30 bottom end that worked well, i just changed for a hi mount and front facing plenum

ben...

Did you have any heat related problems. In my engine bay, there's cabling and air-con fridge lines nearby.

What sort of power did you get then compared to now.

Did you keep the TD07S.

Sorry to blast you with so many questions.

Regards.

weally!! no s$^t! and what would that be? you guys must have some idea what your going to use if your building these engines! sheesh! :(

I don't know what your power level would be.

Exactly as I said.. One to suit your power level; being a larger motor doesn't make a difference to exhaust selection.

Airflow = power. Push more boost in to a smaller motor or make it rev higher and yer.. more power so bigger exhaust.

See.. It was a silly question. :D

What is your power goal?

2.5" is generally ok for 200rwkw.

3" for up to 300rwkw

3.5" for over 300rwkw

All though you can still push a 3" to 350rwkw. :(

Fair enough thats all I wanted a straight up answer we arnt all mechs

I'm far from a mech. Reading and a little bit of visualisation is all I have done.

So... what is your power goal? :)

Sorry didn't mean to come across a smartass,

not sure of my power goal yet, recently blew my RB25DET and i thought instead of just dropping in another stock engine might aswell do the upgrade so Im just asking around to see how much its going to cost me, not in a hurry Ive got another car to drive so probably gonna rip out the old engine and respray the whole car while the new engines being built but just looking at prices at the moment.thanks for your input

ive got some acl bearings here and didnt know they came in oversize. those ones will work and work well, acl are known for their bearings

the acl pistons are actually made by ross in the states so are good also

Just a quick question about the water pumps..

if you use the RB25 one, the bolt pattern is different.. is it just that one bolt hole thats slightly different?

do you just not bolt that one hole? or is there something you can do to get it to fix?

i remember seeing a pic of one with an elongated hole so it would fit both... just cant seem to find it.

cheers

Ok, bit of an obscure question, I am pretty much sold on the rb30det, and I have always loved the shape of the 300zx, I have seen a few pictures of z's with an rb26, so similar things have been done before, but is this a match made in hades? or will it be a case of a few custom engine mounts, bolt up the gearbox, some piping ect... Baisically would it be possible for a backyard mechanic?

Sorry if this question has been answered - I have only read about 60 pages of this thread so far :)

as the manifolds bolt to the head it should be fine. there is a note in the .pdf document that you need to modify the water galleries as they can foul on the manifold. you would need to test fit with your setup to see if this is required.

I read this whole tread a few weeks ago but but didnt bother to read the VCT info. Now I have a few questions as im now looking into an R33 head.....

1. After plugging up the VCT hold and redrilling it and making an external oil feed line etc, where do most people attach it to the block?

2. do aftermarket cams work with VCT?

3. Does the R32 RB25 head need extra bits welded on it to give more metal around the coolant galleries or is this just the R33 VCT?

Thanks,

Matt

Just buy a brass fitting a kind of t-piece (which in reality is just a cylender with a thread in the side) from VDO.

It will screw into your block where the oil pressure sender goes, you hook that into the end of the fitting, and use a bit of braided line to run a feed to the head.

Some aftermarket cams work with vct but they are very expensive.

And no the rb32 head doesn't need extra welds at the front.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
