That GTST is a 2.8 not a 2.5

REgardless of what it is its living proof that a gtr is actually a handicap if you are going for all out 1/4 mile times.

There is simply no need to hump the extra weight around when a properly set up rear wheel drive can give you the whole 9 yards.

As for the ultimate 25...Ultimate for what ?I think I went damn close to building the ultimate allrounder, Just do a solid lifter conversion then build it the same as any rb.

We ended up with 400rwkw on pump with a 35r and full boost by 3800 rpm.

It was an amazing engine and just never stopped pulling all the way to the redline (8500)

I only did one 1/4 mile pass with it for a net of 11.3@125 mph. I have no doubt it had 10's with very little work.

I do like the current 30 i am running but i miss that 25.

Thats what ill be getting made next i think.

3800rpm is impressive for a 35R.

Its all in the head mate. The head was a work of art but sadly it went to god when we dropped a valve spring.

In the process of building another solid converted head for the 30 right now actually.

What cams and exhaust housing on the turbo were you using?

I'm trying to plan out the build on my RB25DET NEO in my 34, with 300-320rwkW being the initial plan with more desired come rebuild time (more revs).

>82 rear housing. tomei cams. 10.25 lift. 260 degree inlet duration, 270 degree exhaust.

Your power figure is very doable. If you want to start going beyond that then you must get the planets to align.

Port match everything from the throttle body to the dump pipe, Fat ignition system etc etc.

Yeah I'm leaning on 3076R with .6 housing, merge collector manifold, 260 Tomei cams in/ex, NissTune, 18 psi and all the supporting fuel and intake/exhaust mods.

My mates car just pulled 330rwkW on 18psi with basically that set up on a Neo so it definitely works.

If I could get a 35/40 on song by 3800rpm, I'd just throw one of them on the car straight away, but without serious head work I don't think it'd have a chance of flowing like that.

You got a build thread FineLine? Would be greatly interested to have a read of it and look at your development path.

I dont have a build thread as such mate. it just evolved over a fairly long period of trial and error.

The real key IMO is the head. RB heads have an inherent flow mismatch between between the inlet and the exhaust. The inlet flows almost twice the exhaust side and anything you can do to even it up helps immensely.

Porting by a competent porter, valve size, cam selection all play a part. Get it right and the rb will ooze power.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
