was over at Red R Racing yesterday checking out the new engine room. Paul was showing me box after box of new parts for your build.

the deal Paul has worked out for you is a cracker. We got stuck into pulling the 25 out last night and getting it ready to be sent to its new home.

hey dave - paul has spoken about u and your setup in the past...do u have a thread on your car? im interested to know what turbo setup u are running to achieve 604awhp.

its funny if u look at the gtr.co.uk website a lot of the gtr owners have taken up the rb26/30 upgrade as well as the rb30 god in nz (rips racing)...looks like the 3ltr bottom is finally starting to make recognition here in aust :thumbsup:

oh dear paul - no more can u lay sh1t on forklift motors HA!

HKS T04Z Marko. The figure was made at autosalon and was tuned by Paul the night before. It was good enough to win us a dyno trophy :thumbsup:

Specs of Engine build

Paul always had the 30 idea floating around and one day wanted to build one but in a RWD car as the 4WD RB30 still was not a proven combo in aust. Now that his friend in Sydney has sucessfully has got a 4WD one sorted and has spent a bit of time with his mate Justin in Brisbane who eats and sleeps 30's (single cam) he was keen to build one that would be 'off the hook'. NYTSKY's new bottom end was going to be a methanol drag engine wearing 'twoogles' current head put into an s13 silvia but when the sale of the gtr shell fell through the plans were shelved. I would have liked to have seen the s13 car completed but having it going in Dave's car will at least have it around to see running instead of selling off all the bits.

Forklift jokes were to wind up you guys on here, im sure you know how much he likes a bit of a giggle. lol.

Keep the VCT with the cams i have now or go 264 IN 272 EX and no VCT?

Decisions, decisions.......

I have seen back to back runs on a big 25/30 with the VCT on and off, the difference on low end torque was very noticeable.

Just out of curiosity what do you use this car mainly for, just as a weekend warrior? Or does it see lots of track action?

No doubt I would lose my license very quickly with that sort of power on the street, ~200kw is enough in this cold weather atm for me!

Read all 56 pages over the last 2 days, was a top read! One thing I would add is you should consider plumbing your catch can back into the intake, that way you will get vacuum assist to help scavenging all the blow by gases etc, might result in a little oil in the intake but generally nothing wrong with that.

Also how much difference was there with the VCT power wise down low? Curious as mine is currently not connected (using rb20 ecu) but I am considering building a controller for it.

plumbing it into the intake is fine on the street but not on the track. I originally had mine set-up that way and saw no blow-by on the street but at Superlap the car blew oil out the breathers, filled the small tank and then spewed oil into the turbo. Coming off throttle into turn one the oil sprayed out the inlet tract shorting out the AFM's, cutting the car out mid corner and almost ended up on its roof!

Oil mist is also detonation fuel.

Just curious how bad the tolerances must be on my motor for them to rattle for a solid minute when cold.

i think it also depends on the pistons u are running, if they're teflon coated etc

i running mahle's & yes they make a bit of noise but it wouldnt be longer than 20sec maybe?

I'm running arias pistons, but its quite a loud racket for about a minute, if the cold start pulls the ignition timing (only seems to do it 1/3 starts for some reason) they don't rattle though, generally the lower the revs the worse it is, might have to look into getting the tune amended.

Anyway I'll stop taking this thread off topic.

So NYTSKY you reckon the 30 will chirp second? :D

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
