So My Turbo Is No Good For Rb30DET? i only need to get a few more things togeather to finish the build, also quick question are RB20Det red top lifters the same as RB25DET ones? just a question. mayb i start a build thread.

That turbo will be OK, but it is not the best turbo [its not even in the top 10] for the job. Don't buy a cheap turbo and expect ace performance, doesn't happen like that. But you will make decent power, just not the best or most efficient etc etc. Look at the RB30 results thread and see how many are using that turbo, SFA. Then look at the turbo's they are using and the power they are making.

It will be laggy, unresponsive and probably won't last for big miles. So when your travelling from Mildura to Adelaide or something it will let you down one day, one day!!!

Thank you tridentt for that info and thank you everyone else for your input. anyone wanna buy a really really really good turbo?? haha

I guess ill be looking for a 35/40 then. then my motor will be a 25/30 35/40

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...bochargers.html

quick breif on motor.

Rb30 Fully forged and oversized bottom end, all acl pistons, rods, seals, gaskets, bearings, n1 oil pump, underdriven harmonic balencer, block was acid dipped bored 40thou over decked.

head is Rb25det s2 reco'd, ported n polished, stronger valves, springs,

std cams, and lifters.

power fc, 2x z32 afm, hi mount, 850cc or 880cc cant remember but there denso's.

think thats about it. what turbo size would i be looking at?

wanna go big power but dont want it toooo laggy.

I made over 400Kw's with a GT35, thinking of going bigger but... make it easier.... but i'm hesitant to increase lag...

As for seeing what you buy, 6Boost is the cheapest and what ever you decide you want he'll get it for you.... and when you decide to get one of his manifolds he'll discount it for you as your a repeat customer...

I know it might seem like im flying the 6Boost flag, but i got screwed oround for 2 months when i bought my turbo, had to threaten legal action to get my money back...

Rang Kyle, got it cheaper and delivered in 5 days...

Plus you get after sale support...

mayb his the man to call. Still not 100% on the GT3540. not keen on the T04.

Im still keen on 350+ just not sure how much power my set up will do. id like to get the most out of it and since im buying a new turbo i would want it holding me back and havin to buy another one.

i deff want garrett.

    • 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.
