Probably be something like the 25 turbo was on my 30.. 12psi by 2200rpm! lol

Yep id be happy with that!!!

How was it in the top end?

Its so frustrating trying to get the "perfect" set up. I want to get mine coming on about 1500rpm sooner, so i think changing cams is the go. Makes 400rwkw at 5000rpm now.

Id hate to be chasing something like a 180sx with a 3L and a super responsive turbo through hills though, there's just no chance of catching something like that haha

i dont think cams will get you 1500rpm when .5L only gets you 1000rpm sooner.

i currently have a stock 25 turbo on mine, great fun at street speeds though its dissapointing over 3k and horrid over 5k

is that with a aftermarket computer or the standard one? wouldnt mind getting mine going on the standard one for the moment then putting the aftermarket one in abit later. can do it all now/whenever i want if i really want but would love to get it running again without spending all my money on it.

has anyone used the standard ecu on their rb25-30? sorta worried about doing that coz it might be in the rich maps and wont allow the new motor to bed in properly from running rich. piston rings and glazing the bores and crap like that

aftermarket ECU my RB30 has had an aftermarket ecu since it was installed never used the stocker on it. Its still running the GT35R tune too and runs surprisingly well, no knock issues and the mixtures are good. Havent had to touch it at all, except when it blew a cooler pipe off and was running on 4 cyls, still drove ok like that though go map sensor ecus :P

Imagine something like a 3071 on a 3L. Fkn hell that would be fun

i think a 3071 would be seriously borderline for exhaust turbine flow @ 7500-8000rpm. the 3076 makes a great combo boost starts properly building at 1500 and takes off at 2500 (thats a friends supra (3076 0.82 rear/6boost mani/44mm external gate) but an RB would be similar). maybe you should go something like that on yours steve? it hauls ass out of corners and is so smooth in its power delivery.

i dont think cams will get you 1500rpm when .5L only gets you 1000rpm sooner.

Well there's mixed views on which cams for what rpm band etc

Only one way to find out though :P

It would be nice for response and hillclimbs, but i cant go backwards in power. It just feels so good right now, im finding the happy balance between power and response

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
