does anyone know of these engines they are supposed to be a collaboration between tomei and os giken ???

i have seen a few advertised and am wandering about wether they are genuine or not?? does anyone know the sort of performance they give ???

twin t78s seems like overkill but i am after an rb30 conversion and maybe this is a better solution.....

I haven't heard of such a collaboration but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It looks like someone has just spec'd Tomei parts to fill out the OSG kit....it will be wayyyyyy expensive in comparison to an Aussie built 3L and even a R.I.P.S RB30 from NZ

just read a 400 post thread on another forum about these engines........verdict...no one really had expierence with these and a big power rb30det to compare.

mind if i ask where this was can you post a link??

twin t78's anyone know when boost will come in if at all lol??? maybe 15000 rpm lol joke.....

It is a OSGIKEN short fitted with tomei filled head, not an of the shelf build. It would have been a cheque book motor tick all the best available options for its intended purpose.

anyone know where this 400 page thread about them is????

twin t78s on rb30 will they even be able to spool up????

Definitely the twin greddy t78 will not be very functional at the 9krpm redline they suggested.

I've driven similar setup. The Twin T618Zs hit full boost at 4.5-5krpm. Single T04Z hits full boost around 5.5-6krpm.Twin TD06s hit full boost at around 6-6.5krpm.

I am not sure when Willall's drag car hit full boost with their T67s. If I have to bet, the T78 must be getting full boost in the 8krpm....way too laggy.

BTW what cams are they using on this setup and what is the asking price?

single to4z on a rb30 hitting full boost at 5.5-6k rpm? thats not what ive read and experienced, on my own rb27 with the hks t04z, its making fullboost around 4300-4500rpm or so (that was on 22psi boost).

hmm I better double check with John what turbo it is. I knew I should have not mention this turbo coz I wasn't too clear. It might have been bigger. Full boost was in the high 20 and he had a Nismo cluster. All of the others that I mentioned were around 2 bars. What cams and intercooler have you got on your car?

are you talking about on rb26's or rb30s i think to4z would spool a lot quiker than 5.5-6k on rb 30 ive seen them boost on rb26's earlier than that...im not arguing witht he t78s though im not sure they will come on boost at any reasonable level,

would love to know what level willals drag rb30 gets boost witrh those t67's......

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
