Yeah wont be dealing with him again but will be taking the bill to fix the engine to him.

The engine was built by Pro Engines and seems to be the goods but would have been nice to get it to the track. I have recently picked up the car and all parts after being pulled down and assessed for damages. So now i have to choose if I fix it as a 3lt of wait for the spool 3.4 kit.

And once the engine is all fixed up do I put it back in the 33 and run the 10 I was always after or put it in a 260rs stagea....

As for driving it, it has done less than 50ks on the street with a run in tune and was great to steer. So take off in 1st get it on boost, pull 2nd = wheelspin, pull top and more wheelspin. lol

That was with about 300rwkw running 10psi and 6000rpm

A stag that can run 10's would be a pretty nice thing to daily drive!

How do you find driving it on the street with the auto?

I love the auto. Best thing I ever did to the car.

Would be nice to change the diff gears from 4.1 to 3.7 to drop the revs on the highway.

I went to the drags here last weekend and was inspired to fix it for the 33 just to blow away the dirty V8s. lol

what do you guys think about a gt3582 with .63 rear on a rb25-30? will it choke it up or anything? its a standard bottomend rebuild and rebuilt standard head. just deciding on the turbo to use now coz i dont wanna make too much power (dont wanna go over 450rwhp on standard motor) and cant decide what turbo coz i want it in its good efficieny range but dont wanna make like 500rwhp on 18psi or anything like that. had a t04z .84 t3 off proboost but sold it before i used it and got the motor done. thinking of going another one of them but i dunno.

i will get one off the proboost guy probably coz there good prices and are meant to be real good. i dont think he can sell me a 3582 in anything except .63 rear.

Use the .82 housing mate. the 30 bottom end brings it on boost almost instantly. I reckon you would regret the smaller rear housing.

or even a 3076 with a .82 rear.

friends supra is running that setup and it drives like a stock turbo except that it makes 300kw

does anyone know whether I can use rb20 engine mount brackets on an rb30 into an r32 gtst? I haven't put it in the car to test it, but it looks like the engine will sit on a huge lean?

I've tried searching but can't find any solid info, the pdf doesn't specify which brackets to use.

the gt3582 the guy sells is only available in .63. its not garrett but meant to be good. will it be ok or should i get something else?

might get another t04z with .84 t3 flange. any ideas on what power it would do on my rb25-30 with na pistons and standard head? on about 18 psi id probably run otherwise it wouldnt be in its efficiencey range possibly i dunno about them that much. just worried about making too much power for the motor and on the other end of the scale dont want it to not be working in its proper range. will crank it up later once i get another motor or some more money so i can replace it if it blows the motor.

im going to get the t04z with 0.84 t3 rear on it. want to get 400-450rwhp for now. how many psi should i run do yous think. i wanna get the spring in my wastegate for what boost i wanna run. dont really wanna go over 450rwhp coz i spent abit rebuilding the bottomend. has mahle cast pistons and king bearings. 40 thou over i believe.

will live with the extra lag for now and crank it up more when i get another motor ready or get more money and see what this one will do. only wanna buy 1 turbo so will go the big one straight away.

the guy says his 0.63 gt3582 will do 400-430rwhp on 18psi. still would like some info from you guys on how that will go on the rb25-30 in regards to the rear choking up the motor and stuff like that. just went back into my mind about going that one maybe. need info and examples of how itl be off ya to help me decide.

How long is a piece of string. Your tuner will tell you what boost you will need to achieve the power figure you are looking for mate.

I am using the 35r with the .82 housing and have 470 rwhp at only 18 lb. Response is off the hook.

THis combo still has my vote for the best response/power package.

i would be going the .82 gt35 if the guy could do one but says he cant. so its either .63 gt35 or t04z with t3.

whats done to your one to have that much power?

might just go 17 or 18 psi spring and it makes what it makes. havent picked my tuner yet. will be seeing one guy during the week

I dont follow, gt35r is an off the shelf item with whatever housing you want Joe. Anyone can get one.

As for mods, its built with all the usual add ons. Head is quite mild. Building another full house head for it atm so we can really lean on it.

im buying off the proboost guy. he sells his turbos to a rotary shop and has had his turbos on a few good cars running good times.

the gt3582 he sells he can only get the .63 rear housing. its like this one but there now got surge porting. http://www.proboost.com.au/level2.asp?view...lanttype=Turbos this is what the ones he has now looks like if the ebay link still shows the listing anymore http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-SKYLINE-turb...=item19bb2c660d

i already have the manifold and wastegate i got off him last year and never used and sold the t04z t3 i got off him at the same time. so im just about to finish the motor and buy turbo again.

dunno if il go the gt3582 kit as listed or get the to4z for $785+$90 for water coolded core. thinking i could go the gt3582 kit for $850 then sell the spare wastegate and manifold to make it cheaper. can also get the 3582 with t66 wheel, used to be able to anyway.

so id like some info on how itd go with the .63 gt3582. might go that for ultimate response and over 400rwhp but dunno much about turbos to know if it will be a restriction and end up not being that good.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
