New article in autospeed about my r32 GTR with rb30dett build:

http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_112538/article.html

This is part II of the build - there is a link to part one (the rb26 bolt-on build) in the first para of the article.

Let me know what you think!

Nice reads. I had read your revisited one a while back.

I am somewhat curious of the power outputs... Your 2530 adventure saw you make stock like numbers..

And now your RB30 adventure seems to have panned out again to fairly entry level numbers.

By no way am I knocking you or your build, I admire the effort and especially your articles, yet what of the results in your eyes?

Um, 279 kilowatts at all four wheels on an r32 GTR is "stock-like" numbers?

Don't know where to begin with that one. As for 383 kw at the treads being entry level...

I did say dont take offense..

280 at all 4 is definitely doable for the stock turbos. A full exhaust and a tune will net that without too much drama.

I call 380 entry level when comparing it to 26s, I guess I felt a cammed 30 would fairy easily exceed 400 with these turbos. Its certainly not a small number but is more or less what you see from factory motors.

Have you ever run it on a different dyno?

Welll written Andrew; I agree with Steve-O...a must read for anyone contemplating a 30 swap.

I knew you were in trouble when i saw the pic of the HKS triple plate "quite abrupt engagement" lol. I just got rid of my HKS twin for a ORC.

esp is one of the slightly higher reading dynos in town if you were thinking its a low reader?

MM no I wont go there. Interesting info tho..

Yeah my car makes a bit more power than it should on ESP's dyno (see my sig, that should be more around the 18psi figure for the turbo I'd think)

    • -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).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
