Dude.... I walked into a dyno shop which had 2x R33s out the front in so I assumed yeah they might know something.

I was like yeah I have an RB30DET, 40 thou oversize, big cams, forged internals, lots of head work, big injectors, big turbo blah blah blah...

Then he was like umm... why are you running a VL engine in your car..... I was like omfg I hate people who say that.. its an RB30 block with an RB25 head. he looked very confused and then said well $1500 for a tune. leave it with us for a few weeks and we will see what we can do.

A guy owns a performance shop here, I buy a lot of stuff off him and hes from QLD. He said that all of the tuners here he wouldn't even trust them to do a power run and that he is getting a tuner down from QLD to tune his car for him and hes going to hire a dyno for him to use. I am going to get him to tune his car for me when he comes down.

Well go to some one else who has half an idea. Unsure how it is in tas but in little old country town Adelaide we have over 5 good tuners. There's only one that I wouldn't trust with my car.

Im sure there is a decent tuner there in TAS surely there not all numb nuts.

Regardless there's nothing special about an rb30det. Its simply a stroked rb25 so a dyno would have shown there's a fuel issue; at that point the fuel return would have been dropped and straight away it would have been known there is a fuel supply issue. That is standard fuel supply troubleshooting regardless if he didn't know an rb30det existed or not.

If the dyno tuner can't do the above then he would not be operating.

I hope you have a little more luck running the 30det on the stock ecu than I did. Anything above 6psi at 3000rpm saw fuel cut.

:D

Ditto, CEF11E's remap sorted that till I could get in for a remap to suit z32 afm and bigger injectors.

Guessin that he has found a DYNO Tuner he can trust and that is not an idiot as he has finally got it booked in for a tune next week...

Or maybe I should ring Brad up and tell him some of the shit you been sprouting on here about the idiots that cant run dynos in TAS.

Seriously, do you think that nobody reads this crap you post and that it wont come back to bite you in the ass someday??

I am almost embarressed to admit that I have just bought a Skyline now.

Might go join a VOLVO forum...

but then your probably a technical expert over there as well arent ya Finny??? :ninja:

How much power are you expecting from your 25/30??? Or how much did it make???

Brad at boost automotive tuned my old RB25 to 399rwkw at only 17psi, and I will be taking my engine setup there for a tune also. With a big shot of NOS to get things moving.

How does a 023 pump compare to a 044???

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
