any tips on the rb30

Sell it :)

All jokes aside, it really depends on what sort of set up your chasing, if you want it to remain legal/street registered or a trailer queen? Whats your budget, auto/manual, are you only wanting to do engine work or rest of drive train etc???

Give us some more details and we can offer some advice :)

i would like a rb30 turbo setup not sure to go rb25 head tho street legal registered budget is 6000+ i have a mf5 5speed and just looking to do the engine at the moment

Well would pay to look around for a blown rb25det with harness

Then bolt it together then get a plenum, high mount turbo about a gt3540 size, power fc, 550cc injectors and you should get about 270-280rwkws or so

thank you mate

Or not, I mean you could buy all the same stuff, good standalone ecu, or Nistune for the stock ECU, and make the same power with the original head for the price of a couple of psi more boost.

$6k won't get you an RB25 head swap and good support parts, but you might squeak it in with the SOHC head.

well im doin up a a rb30 and just after any tips at the moment its my first time

Is it an N/A VL? I'm assuming it is.

Your gearbox will limmit you to around 200 rwkw... after that it will break. (If it's a VL turbo box.... 250 rwkw and not much more.)

Dont bother with a twin cam swap...

Basic Recipe:

- Basic re-build, with turbo pistons, good bearings and good oil pump. Clean the head up and use a new timing belt

- New injectors, z32 afm, upgraded ignition coil, nistune and a VL turbo computer.

- Front mount intercooler, VL turbo exhaust manifold, T3 flanged- internal wastegate turbo of choice and plumbing.

- Ancillaries... clutch, consumables, hoses, pipe work, exhaust, intake, plugs etc...

Tune it and go...

BUT- Dont forget to upgrade your brakes, suspension and brain.

If you want a quick streeter, keep it simple. if you want to go fast... how fast do you want to spend???

cheap- reliable- fast ... pick 2.

If this is your first build up... be warned, cars and speed is addictive!

Cheers

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
