Hey guys ive been doing alot of research into the RB30DET build and i was chatting to my mate about it, who owns a honda integra dc5 type R. As he is planning to turbo it we go to talking about compression ratios, as i am planning to go with a 8.5:1 ratio i asked him what he was going to do. He reckons he can have a ratio of 10:1 and still run 25psi through a gt35r, at first i didnt belive him but then i did some research and found that the guys in the states are actually doing this on PUMP fuel (93 octane for them) and i was wondering how or am i missunder standing something?

The guys in the states must be using rocket fuel or something. sure anything can be done if tuned correctly but man thats one damn potential explosion your mate is going to have there... My rb30det uses around 7.8:1 and i am running 30psi happily with around 500rwhp.

Engines with less compression are more forgivable on user errors :laugh:

Sure it would be possible with suitable valve timing and sufficient intercooling, and a low enough exhaust back pressure.

People say 10:1 CR Oooooh that can never work, but if the intake valve does not close until the piston is half way up the bore, then it is really only 5:1 compression ratio isn't it ?

Have a real close look at the specifications of a Mazda Miller Cycle engine.

Factory compression 10.2:1 supercharged to 17psi, and it runs on crapy 93 octane.

This is a mass produced factory engine, with full warranty, that can be thrashed by idiots in tropical mid summer heat without any reliability problems at all.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
