Thats true..

had any one thought about the possibility that the reason why we can run so much boost and power with the standard internals compared to the VL's is that the RB20/25/26 motors have oil squirters?

Sounds good... I'm going to start looking in to how a RB30 bottom end bolts in to a R32 GTR.

I'm tired of 2wd no traction. :(

I am probably dreaming still as my budget is max 25k. All the GTR's around here I have seen are 35k. And even then the one down on Anzac Highway (Silver One) has had a few bingles as the gaps etc don't line up and the under body has been freshly painted. Some thing just didn't look right with it.

Ive said this before in previous threads. If u get hyper pistons, i sure as hell hope u dont drive in summer, cause a just a few seconds of ping and u can blow a hole in em. And hey there also alot more likely to ping too due to the higher silica content refecting more heat into the combustion chamber.

Cheap

Fast

Reliable

Pick any 2.

Hi guys, Its pretty simple really, an RB30 being a 2 valve engine does not flow as well as RB20/25/26's with their 4 valve heads. So to make decent power they have to run a lot of boost, rule of thumb 5 to 6 psi more to make the same power. Such high boost requires lower compression ratios, rule of thumb 0.5 lower for the same power.

My experience, comparing compression ratios for 2 and 4 valve heads is a waste of time. On the flow bench we typically see 30% more flow out of 4 valve heads with similar capacity.

Hope that adds to the discussion.

Another thing with Hypereutectic pistons is they tend to shatter rather than just break or crack ring lands like cast or forged pistons. Also some forged pistons also have a high silicone content so be careful if your thinking of running Nitrous.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
