hey guys, just wanting peoples opinions on this quick motor build im going to put together before august, use it for a while whilst im prepping a built 30 bottom end

it consisits of:

- standard RB25DET

- top mount turbo manifold

-40mm external gate with 1.1bar spring

- GT30/GT35R turbo

- Forward facing plenum

- Atleast 770cc injectors

-Bosch 044 fuel pump

-Oil cooler kit

- 52mm alloy radiaitor

- Z32 airflow meter

tuning wise thinking i may get away with a nistune with the help of a SAFC??

Later down the track ill smash in 260 deg cams or may have enough saved to put them in when i add the above extras but was thinking if im running only 15 psi of boost standard cams shoild be alright??

(please correct of im wrong)

whatta we think?

sounds like you have some cash to blow, i do not recommend you run a nistune if your planning to run a top mount setup, run an ecu that uses a map sensor as the inlet is something like 4" and an afm such as the z32 will be a restriction, it may even cause the car to stall/run like shit due to air reversion back toward the afm

get a pfc dj or something along that standard :D

if your running a standard motor, and 400hp will keep you happy, your probably going to like the response that the gt3076 has to offer as you will not be able to use the full potential of a gt35 on a standard motor

a pair of poncams will open up that midrange also giving the car alot more of an aggressive power delivery

my 2c, goodluck with the build

yea i got abit saved up and continuing to do that until end of july i was thinking about the de jetro but again funds may be an issue... i wanna maintain a top mount set up with external gate.. the only hick up im having is a turbo choice... i heard/ thought 35R's are pretty responsive thats why i was going to go for it

with cams again see how much i got by the end of july and hopefully can scab enough up to buy cams as well 260 deg shuld help in the response department

and snozzle like your saying with me not being able to use the full potential of the 35R forgot to mention that im using the 25 head on my 30 bottom end so i kinda wanna set it up so i can put the head and block together and then back into the car... should still be able to have fun with a 35R though??

ohh your post said standard 25 though haha, well in that case, id also go for the gt35 on a 30 bottom end, have some 400kw+ of fun :D and traction issues......

i really do hope you dont run a nistune on a setup like this though!

Yea sorry about that aha completely forgot to mention that im putting the head on a 30...

well.... no....im not looking into power fc, haltech or motech only problem is finding one.. any ideas? tuning shops should stock them or be able to get them

i see i see hmm i guess its probably best i call a tuning place like allstar or hyperdrive to see what they reckon...

so whatta we think of the setup in regards to turbo choice? will she be to laggy or pretty responsive with the aid of new cams?

ive always known top mounts with such big intakes to be restricted by air flow meters, that is the basis of my reasoning

also, reversion can cause the afm to almost stall the car once u come off boost and back to idle (approaching traffic lights) if the intake pipe is relatively short which in most cases is

who knows, nistune will probably do you just fine, a friend of mine is making 400 with a nistune (not a top mount) and he is having no issues at all but in my eyes, a gt35 is a completely different setup as to a 'highflow'

With an R32 you can use a GTR loom and ECU (daughterboards are the same) and then run 2x RB25 or even 2x Z32 afm's if you need to make that much power.

OR, there are other big single afm's out there (Ford Lightning is one I was recently put onto).

Personally, I prefer an airflow meter setup as it actually measures how much air is going into your engine and anyone tuning for a MAP setup should really be using an airflow meter to set up the maps otherwise it's just calculation and guess work.

I'd also prefer to have a system with ACTIVE KNOCK SENSING, no aftermarket ECU out there can do it that I've seen. Sure, PFC can display your knock levels on the hand controller and flash the engine check light at you, but Nistune will actually revert to different maps just like the stock ECU does when it detects knock.

Either the bov is in the wrong place or it can't flow enough.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -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).
