600hp, 3040

Which can make really good power on an RB30DET - it will crack 300kw without stress, but its probably worth knowing that a GT3582R will feel no different on an RB30, but make quite a bit more power again :O

VB- Seemed to be under the impression it was a far smaller turbo than it is.

bingo! was getting confused with the 3071/6, well was thinking of those, didnt realise the 30/40 was that much bigger. lol my bad guys

Its no RB20...

Thank God! :)

But is a very nice setup. Was simply blown away by the throttle response and urgency from low revs. Very, very, very nice setup. Looking at the power delivery i understand why the one timed you opened the taps i did almost shit myself :D The power just keeps climbing and climbingh and you can feel that from the seat of the pants. It not only pulls nicely in the top, you can feel it is making even more power up there

Just came back from a 5-6hr drive with Brisby; completed 270 running-in km on the first night :thumbsup:

Damn it felt awesome!! So farken happy!!

Here is the latest run-in tune:

Hey Al what turbo are you running, i cant find your engine specs in the rb30 dyno thread?

thats great results for a 3076r on 16psi (i think thats what the dyno graph says?), any ideas what the turbo is capable on pump fuel and around 20-22psi? might be something i will put on my new rb30det setup as im only gonna be chasing low 400hp mark or so on stock internals and aiming for response more than anything.

I think quite a few people are watching with interest to see where it can make it to. The way it levels off up high suggests to me it might start struggling to pass 320kw.

With good fuel the gt3076's have cracked 340rwkw.

The Gt3040 with good fuel has cracked 360rwkw but bugger all more.

The gt3040 vs gt3076 on pump fuel the gt3076 wins as its more responsive, linear and is slightly less laggy. With E85 around the corner the gt3040 may be a better option.

I just don't like the way the gt3040's come on boost compared to the gt3076 and gt3540's. But thats just me...

GT40 +E85 +rb30det ftw. :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
