Vg30 Highflow On To Rb25 Neo

We all know that the VG30det Single turbo when highflowed with a Garrett GT30 core makes a pretty dam good budget turbo with power figures into the 250atw ball park for rb25s

as i spent most of my money on my 34 and have very little left to spend on mods (plus its a Streeter) i just wanted to know whether i will need to buy or make a diffent dump pipe to fit the VG30 turbo, as i already have an aftermarket dump/front pipe on my stock r34 turbo, or will the VG30det turbo fit my current aftermarket front pipe.

I am pretty happy with the front pipe i have got on atm, as its decent brand stainless and has made a good improvement. If not, can the current front pipe be modified in anyway to fit the new highlow VG30 turbo?

Vg30det turbos art exactly that common so i assuming that if i have to buy a new front pipe for it, then its going to take a little bit more effort (ie money) to get a new one.

Cheers

if its the 6bolt nissan rear (op6 on VG30's I think) then it will bolt up to your current setup.

the front setup should be all ok too seeing its again the same original design, so will bolt up.

with the core, the front of the turbo may be shortened/lengthened.

pic attached to explain.

lengthened the snout as the new GT30 core is slightly shorter in size/length than the Sliding performance journal bearing highflow I took off and sold

Pretty sure they are the same exhaust housing...

There's on in my garage I'm holding as a spare incase my stocker ever blew, but I don't think I'll be needing it...

feel like parting with it??

cool so long as it all fits up with minimum hassel then thats sweet.

Probably. I have to have a garage sale soon cause I'm moving and really don't want to take it all with me.

But if you're swapping out the core, maybe you might want to look for a busted one? My one is in top nick and a busted one will be cheaper too...

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.

      Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.

      Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
