Just had the VL on the dyno and thought i'd post my results. A bit of background......

Stock RB30 block

Stock R33 RB25DE head, VCT hooked up.

R33 RB25DE oil pump

GT3040, 0.82 rear

RB20DET ex. manifold

550cc mazda 20B injectors

600x300 cooler

Bosch 044 pump

258rwkw on 13psi

800ish Nm (can't remember exactly)

Don't have a dyno printout ATM as the dyno keyboard shat itself, but he saved it and i should see it sometime this week.

I honestly didn't pay to much attention to the RPM/power relationship while it was on the dyno. My eyes were glued to the power figure! Like i said, the graph wasn't able to be printed at the time, so i'll have to wait till he e-mails it through.

Wastegate is an external 48mm progate mounted on a custom adapter between manifold and turbo.

ECU is a Haltech E11v2 with a 2 bar MAP sensor. The boost cut is set at 2 bar absolute (obviously) and even though the wastegate solenoid is set to provide 13psi, it occasionally spikes and hits the boost cut. Hopefully closed loop control will sort this out.

quick question guys.

If i were to do the RB30 upgrade on my RB20 equipped R31, would i be able to use the microtech i already have in it on the RB30? Also, would everything else wire up as is? or will i have to go through a huge auto electrical drama?

Also, what would redline be if you get the RB30 crank propperly prepped and balanced?

Im using a microtech with the stock RB20det loom, no problems, just use the stock RB20 sensors.

Hey,

Just got the power tune done and very happy with the results.

The car is so responsive it's not funny and I _______ mean it !

We're all quite surprised with the power output and especially the turbo.

Having the high-flowed stock turbo was always questionable, but even more than before the conversion, it spools up so quick and holds 18 psi efficiently.

I've been considering a GT35/40 onto the stock manifold but I'm now reluctant to change anything given the instant boost.

The accelleration is just exhilarating and I _______ mean it !

Tuned to 15 psi due to stock injectors we got 294 rwkw / 508 fwhp.

Next service, will go for Sard 550's and push the turbo as hard as possible.

Nengun will deliver for $674.00 !, bugger high flowed injectors..

Dyno graph posted in the RB30 results.

God bless Nissan and everyone who's been part of this conversion.

15psi = 294rwkw yet with 3250rpm full spool?

Almost sounds too good to be true, if thats really the case stick with it as a GT35R will be laggier and will require more boost to make that power.

What fuel are you running?

Turbo specs?

What fuel pressure are you running? :O

could be running bigger cams to help bring down the boost level, dont really know specs of the engine..

im getting 294 rwkw with teh std RB25 @ 18psi, but with tomei pon cams..

maybe some more details on the motor will help make that tune results make more sense.

Thats good power also.

What spec cams, and what other parts on your motor (aftermarket plenum, exh manifold, etc?)

plazma man plenum, custom highmount setup, HKS GT3040 1.12 rear housing. tomei pon cams 256 /8.5 power FC and 550cc sards, sard 1:1 fpr, Z32 afm

laggy now, but will be better suited once the rb30det is completed. full boost of 18psi at 4700rpm.

wheres the std rb25??

what did you mean by? -

std bottom end was what i refering to...

main thing was with Sky30's post refering to his 35/40 cracking 300kw @ 18-19 psi... and thats a rb30det.

there are things that can help reduce the psi required for certain power levels..

Read again mate..

"Having the high-flowed stock turbo was always questionable, but even more than before the conversion, it spools up so quick and holds 18 psi efficiently"

He said he got 300kw at 18psi on the high-flowed stock turbo ...

Stock hi-flow making near 300rwkw on 15psi............. are you sure?

My 35/40 only cracked 300rwkw on 18-19psi.

It looks like stock housings to me.

The dealer I bought it from said it was a T3/T4 Hybrid.

I don't know for sure. See pics...

It was bored out to the max on the compressor housing. Bugger all meat left on the intake.

Also, before I blew up the RB25DET with this turbo, it had 247 kw.

That dyno graph is also posted.

No

294 kw at 15.2 psi

Power graph and pressure graph was the same test

Yeah, that looks very similar to the hi-flow i had on mine, but i only made 235rkw on 17psi with similar mods.

Have you had yours on a dynodynamics dyno?, be interesting to see the difference compared to the dyno you used.

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
