na man only looking at 1 bar or 250 to 280 is rwkw.

i appreciate what you are saying about the gt30 but it will be maxed out before i reach my goal. of 400rwkw.

So do you want 280rwkw or 400rwkw? Theres a big difference when it comes to setup....

it has a 0.5 to4 front housing and 1.06 rear but i'm gonna change a few things soon to a .7 and .86 rear. John the ultimate goal will be around 400, as my weak points at the moment are the box and clutch which is going to cost around 8k so i'll save that up and get ppg gear set and nismo twin plate. so atm i'm just building it to be able to do what i want too, when i'm going to do it.....if that makes sense.

I take it you are using the factory boost pickup point - ie the nipple at the start of the scroll? If so that point has a higher boost level than manifold pressure. The pressure difference between the two increases logarithmically with airflow rate.

If you change to manifold pressure as a boost source for the actuator you will generate a lot more boost.

^^^^^^doesn't make sense as this is a 3ltr, it also has bigger cams so i'm expecting it's go to drive like a strong na off boost, and beside i've seen gt3540rs on sr20 with plenty of mid range, the turbo was actually designed for 2.5 to 4 ltr engines so being a 3 i'm kinda right in the middle, and if a rb25 will push a gt30 to 300rwkw and have plenty of mid range i can't see why a gt35 on a over sized forged rb30 would do any less justice. the engine is being built to handle a flogging.

You do realise bigger cams are actually going to make it weaker off boost yes?

It's not a high comp N/A motor you are dealing with here.

so in turn it would also read "true" if i where ton read it from the manifold and not the turbo side of things which would allow me to adjust it accodingly for what pressure i want???

You can use either boost source. The reason ford use that pickup point is to allow better control at higher rpm. And by better control I mean better ability to lower boost.

right so nismoid i would be better running the factory cams ie rb20 ones as i was only going to use stage one tomei items. Also what is the safest power level and rpm of a standard balancer as i cant find the info.

Not enough for you. I am running a max of 6500 to protect my stock bottom end and N1 pump but if you want to rev high you should get a better balancer.

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
