what turbo would be best suited for a rb30

What do you want out of it? A 5557 .82 exhaust with the surge port (4 inch inlet, 2.5inch outlet) comp cover would be killer on the street. Billet comp wheel, twin ceramic bb core (that dosn't need water cooling). Super responsive 280-300rwkw

lol man, your opinion is based on stock twins! get a 5557, I dare you :D guinea pig lol

Once we sort the wiring/ignition problem on my guinea pig stock rb25/plain bearing 5557 combo, I'll be able to post the results... not long now.

It would happily be me although I am still in developement stages. Ive got a car and a motor, the two dont match yet.

Will be interesting to see how these 5557 turbos perform against a 3037.

Whats the rest of the setup the 5557/RB25 is going to be using? Manifolding wise etc? Completely unopened engine eh?

Yeah stock 100k rb25. It's currently hanging off a stock manifold with a wastegate adapter and 46mm PT wastegate.

I do have an HKS low mount manifold waiting in the wings if it works out ok.

650cc injectors, nistune, rb20 loom/ecu (in an r32gts-t), port matched greddy copy intake manifold, gtr cooler, n1 oil pimp, vct switch, 4" cat, hks super dragger, splitfires...

Actuall killing the same number coil pack right now.

350wkw on stock manifolds, stock RB25DET, 52trim GT3037/GT3076R with .68a/r turbine housing - I could be wrong but you use a Dynapack as well?? If so, add some kw... not to mention potential gains from using better manifolds etc.
Just looked at Powertunes site, saw they use a DD... crikey. That suggests its a crapload.... very impressive result then. Thought it was a dynapack :devil:

Yeah dude, we nearly fell over! Actually it was a combo of 1) the power it made and 2) the fact the engine internally is bone stock (aside from drop in cams) and is holding together!

Wow thats some crazy results. I was waiting to see the results of the 5557 to see which one i have to buy. Was planning on buying the 5857 with a .82 rear for my RB25, now i'm not so sure what to get hmmmm.

What would you guys recommend? the 5857 with the .82 rear or .63 rear? or the 5557 with .82 or .63 rear for a RB25. My goal is 300kw maybe a bit more. Engine has CP pistons but stock rods, race bearings ect.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
