Gary - what fuel filter is available that wont restrict the new fuel lines that Im about to install ? As most seem to be smaller than the 9 mm fuel hose ?

Cheers

Mitsubishi V6 Magna, uses the same size dash fittings as the Bosch 044.

;) cheers :O

I updated my piston list from P221

Added a new p/n for a flat top piston from Arias and added compression ratios for the Arias pistons. Two are quite high for a turbo engine!

CP

All compression ratios are based on zero deck height, 1.2mm head gasket (7.13cc), RB25 @ 62.5cc, RB26 @ 64.5cc. They assure me they have done alot of work to make sure the facts are correct.

p/n= CP-RB30/26-.20

Flat top with no valve pockets

8.2:1 COMPRESSION RATIO with RB25 head and bit less with RB26 head

21mm pin

1.280" compression height

Only stocked in 0.20 thou oversize but can be custom ordered in any size.

p/n= CP-RB30/26-.20-9.0

6.0cc dome top,

9.0:1 COMPRESSION RATIO with RB25 head and bit less with RB26 head

21mm pin

1.280" compression height

Only stocked in 0.20 thou oversize but can be custom ordered in any size.

*Care must be taken when using on RB26 with more than 11.5mm valve lift*

ARIAS

Suit RB30/26

p/n= AP332103

21mm pin

1.280" compression height

Only stocked in 0.20 thou oversize (86.5mm).

COMPRESSION RATIO 8.4-8.6

Suit RB30/26

p/n= AP332104

10.6cc dome top

21mm pin

1.280" compression height

WISECO

Skyline RB30 w/ DOHC RB25det cylinder head

1.260" compresion height, 66.5cc head chamber, Dish top -11.3cc, 7.0:1 compression ratio, 21mm pin, 1mm gasket thickness, 1mm deck clearance.

K577M865 86.5mm

K577M87 87.00mm

ACL

6MKRY9608 (VL turbo)

87mm, -4.5cc dished top, 1.261" compression height, 21mm pin,

Standard RB30ET pistons are 7.8:1, with RB25 head it is 7.1:1

These are bumped up to 8.5:1 so with the RB25 head it may give about 7.5:1??

Using http://www.csgnetwork.com/compcalc.html I came up with 8.5 for VLT (spot on) and 7.6 with twin cam head with 64cc chamber.

I entered: 2, 87, 85, 87, 1.2, 64cc, -4.5cc = 7.6:1

BUT these have a lower compression height than the CP/Arias and im sure it stuffs up my calculations but its late and im too tired to look at it any more... :(

anyone know ROUGHLY what comp ration i would expect with arais rb30 non-turbo pistons ( p/n AP340754 ) using the r33 rb25 head and rb30e bottom (block and head faced once), with 1.5mm head gasket. ive used comp calculaters but im sure im doin something wrong and it gives me wrong figures. any help would be greatly appreciated. im not sure how low/high piston sits but if we could go with zero clearance then i can make a better guess from there once its assembled.

also is there an accurate way of getting comp ratios once your engines up and running??

I rang Rocket Industries and they couldn't tell me much except they have a 5cc dome. Last sold a set in 2005 and would have to be special ordered.

The guy told me they were n/a pistons and wont work in a turbo.....but he said he doesn't know anything about RB30's (obviously) I told him you need to use a n/a type piston with the twin cam heads.

These 5cc dome pistons are in the middle of the flat top (8.5) and 10.6cc dome (9.3) other pistons and could possibly give 8.9 compression.

I put all the figures in the c/r calculator and it said 8.5:1

You cant work it out when the engine is assembled.

i think these 2 posts were in response to my questions??

if they are and your accurate then your a legend, coz a cr of about 8.5:1 is ok for my daily ~320rwkw

what do you guys think about using these n.a pistons forged pistons?? shouldnt be any problems?? what can i do to reduce and potential dramas?

your estimate of 8.5:1 was with zero deck clearance yee? so all i would need to do when assembling is check the clearance and deck/face accordingly??

thanx you been much assistance

easier said then done!

last tuner i went to blew my engine, the whole reason why im now doing the 30.

i believed him when he said it wasnt his fault (coz he was reputable) but when i

pulled the head off there was mass detonation on 5 pistons, and number 2 was dry

a nuns c**t and had a big hole in the side next to the ring lands

so ye tuning is scary.

does anyone have answers to my other questions??

I finally got my engine going and tuned yesterday, made 382rwkw on only 17.5psi boost. Had issues with boost control, if i tried to boost it over 17 psi it would just go crazy and make 25+psi, tried a few different ways using top and bottom port on the wastegate, but had same problem each way. Im currently running a 10psi spring, i will try the 15psi spring i have.

Any one know if using a 10 psi spring to try and run 20psi via and EBC can cause this??

Hi Andrew

Great effort :huh:

Whats your setup again ?

What wategate are you using?

nice work andrew, she'd be an animal and on such low boost.

Turbo is GT35/40 .82 rear, mounted on custom manifold i made, cams are 260deg.

I suspect the gate may be even too small, will try with the 15psi spring first.

I always try not to pick on peoples own creations, but I am sure that you are going to have ongoing problems with controlling boost with that exhaust manifold. The problem is the wastegate take off pipe/pipes is/are only relieving back pressure from 2 cylinders. The other 4 cylinders are hitting the turbine at an undiminished rate.

You really need to make the collector longer, so that the merged gases (all of them) have the chance to “escape” via the wastegate. Take cylinders #2 & #5 for example, there is simply no way that exhaust gas (pressure) can get from them and then out the wastegate pipe/pipes.

The merge collector (collectors if you are full split pulse) need to be at least 100 mm deep. Compared to around 20mm looking at the photos. Plus I would run the separate (2) wastegate pipes for at least 100 mm before merging them. Compared to around 15 mm looking at the photos.

:pirate: cheers :ninja:

Gary- The design is a fair compromise for room to make fit as i wanted to low mount the GT35. I wasnt too sure how well the wastegate pipes would work (again clearance limited) but it will run as low as 14-15psi boost. Im using a Blitz dual SBC to boost up to 17psi via the bottom port only, when i try and increase the boost more than this via the conrtller i get problems with unstable boost.

Im only running a 11psi spring in the gate, would this be the problem?? I have a 15psi spring to try.

hey all. got a question for all you out there. My oil feed restrictors arrived today from japan and the instructions were in japanese but they had pictured instructions as well so that helped. Thing is tho, where it tells me to install the restrictors on my block i got from the wreckers there are already fittings there that look identical. I dont understand how this is possible. Has anyone else come across this in the past? Should i trust the fittings already there?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
