Hey guys

Im in the middle of building my drifter and i cannot decide what turbo to use. I havent drifted alot so im not after anything huge basically something that is foregiving so if i stuff up and it drops revs and gets traction i can just plant it and be able to get the back out again so i need a turbo that will boost early really early and hold 12-14max through out the rev range. I have checked out what most of you guys are running and checked your dyno resaults so i have a rough idea of what to run but im just not posotive. The major thing is i dont have a huge amount of cash so over $1000 is out of the question. I havent ruled out twins either. the motor they are going on is an rb30e with a s2 rb25det head the motor has had a rebuild but still runs factory pistons and rods std cams etc Im chasing 400hp atw so what do you guys think i should run heres a few idea iv been throwing around.

gt3076

gt30

2x rb20 turbo

2x gtr turbos

2x n1 gtr turbos

to4e

what do you think and are any of these to small to acheive what im after and im even thinking the gt3076 will boost a bit too late for what im after but not sure help would be awsome.

cheers

They are mutually exclusive dude, twins are quite expensive and unless you're keen on the idea of bolting on el chepo china/ebay twins, it isn't going to happen for under 1k.

If you want 400rwhp you are going to have to up the budget to $1700 for the turbo at least, then comes dump pipe, intake piping etc etc.

twin turbos wont work, it'll cost you more than a single as you have to make adapter plates, custom EVERYTHING (lines, piping, exhaust) etc etc etc.

Save up for a 3076 and be done with it.

Otherwise revisit your aims because you cannot do it with $1000

I came across a rebuilt xr6 turbo on eBay today think the exhaust was1.06 a/r and intake was about.56. Can anyone make a guess as to how these would go on an rb30. I was thinking maybe the exhaust housing may to a

little too big for response but I could be wrong has anyone experimented with gt35/40s at all?

Didn't actually find anything with a whole deal of information on it. Hence why I asked thought it maybe a cheapish option although could well be a touch too laggy. I don't see why it wouldn't support 300rwkw though

The xr6 turbo will support 400rwhp without any problems - it does need some wg mods to hold boost though. I had one on a 26 and it was a great deal laggier than the .82 gt35 I have now. Have a look on the vl turbo forums, thats where my old xr6 turbo sold too.

If you're budget limited look into bw stuff... I priced a gt35 equivalent at 1300 landed - I'm sure they could be had cheaper of ebay etc and by all accounts they match or out perform the garrett gear (and you save on water lines :D )

Have a look at the holset hx35. its what I have on mine and it makes 320rwkw but at more boost than you want to run. i am running 19psi. I paid $150 for mine and then rebuilt it. you can get good ones for $300. I have an entire build thread in the forced induction thread. read it and be the judge :(

T67 10cm,

A greddy one will be mega expensive but these guys are making copy versions and they are of a good quality, there are a few threads on the US EVO forums about them and people are having a lot of success, considering they are under 1/2 the price of the original you can go wrong.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
