I'd probably weld it too if it can be done successfully....forking out $1500 or more for an aftermarket job just to gain approx 5rwkw aint worth it IMHO

only 5rwkw? i know cubes says its one of the most important upgrades for the hybrid RB30 engines

im not saying luke should do it for the 26 and if he hasent go the money for it now, of corse try welding it up... but it should be something on his list of things to do for the 30!

The difference is going from the standard RB20/25 over the top intake manifold to a front facing manifold then there would be gains to be had, but Luke's manifold is a GTR manifold and there are plenty for GTR's making up to insane amounts of power still using the factory GTR manifold.

The Greddy and hypertune manifolds will give you slight increases in the top end when you are making massive amounts of power but you will be getting this gain at the cost of low down and midrange power, and like SLED said your only talking 20-30HP gains on a 700HP engine but your are losing like 80HP below 5000rpm

Haha yeah think im missing the 33 like you missed yours. Got a few guys to talk to about it to get a bit more history on it, but the guy that owns it use to work at Autobarn.

I may even be taking it out of context, it was a while ago i read it and perhaps it was just about 20/25's and i read 26's into it, but without actually finding the post im pritty sure it was also including (if not specifically about) 26's and it was sugesting a particular brand and not greddy/hypertune... and coming from an rb30 guy that knows his stuff so i'd take his advice, or at least strongly consider it, if i was doing any kind of 30.

in the end, its lukes car, lukes money and lukes goals so he can do anything he likes. i was just reminding him what cubes had said

absolutely!

and hey, did i read correctly last night on FB - the little yellow weapon is finished!!!!???

just bought one of the turbosmart boost tees :)

do you mean the turbo-tech ones Damo? thought you were having issue with the t-smart one

i second the turbo-tech tees like the others here, had one on my white 33 - held 11-almost 12psi up to very high revs. The Mines ECU had set the limiter @ just over 8000rpm too :thumbsup:

yeah i mean Turbotech :thumbsup:

my current boost curve drops off a fair bit, from 10psi down to around 7 by redline. holding the boost higher through the revs with the new boost tee will obviously affect my tune wont it?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
