A very rough quote to supply a complete RB30 short with better rods pistons and collar was around five grand , in your lap BTY . Not sure about R/R and anything needed to make it happen thats not a straight bolt up/in .

Cost wise throwing in say a Link/ViPec plug in with any wiring/sensor work and turning probably adds another dunno 2-2.5G ? The PFC and Datalogit can be sold to offset some of this .

I like the idea of not having the ethanol variation hassle and being able to find a performance/consumption trade off would be great . Can run the highways on PULP and use the grog when its available .

The only downside I can think of for E85 or Eflex is the 15-40% petrol they add - 91 octane powere Kero I suppose . Shame its possibly not easy to get E100 and throw in your own PULP .

I hear that good tuners can get you emissions compliant with a reasonable cat too .

GTRS , interesting to see what these would be like on a cleaned up 25 with jungle juice . Should make some reasonably fierce low to mid range torque and maybe top out at say 270 Kw if the exhaust and intercooling could manage it .

Plenty of people run the stock RB30 bottom end to 7000rpm... I mean really your making the power like 1000rpm sooner so you end up still having a larger power spread, which is basically the whole point of doing rb30 lol

Anyway my vote is for both :) but if your sticking with the GTRS then its probably not worth the extra hassle for the 3L..

dont know if that would be safe/reliable, i asked my tuner when my car was being tuned and he was of the opinion that the crankshaft on an RB30 doesnt suit 7000rpm and should not reliably be pushed like that... dont want to start a debate on this, i would only consider doing it the safe way and not pushing limits that are not safe...

i would imagine that GTRS would be an absolute response monster with ethanol...

is it not being a bit overkill looking for computers to run varying ethanol content?? my tuner was quite happy with tuning it on flex and allowing me to monitor knock levels for changing mixtures.. he suggested if i was concerned about the summer mix being different i could come back for a quick run on the dyno to check the tune.. which i will do in order to look after the engine..

98RON + GT-RS = grouse

E85 + Gt-RS = super-grouse

Yeah I think 260-270 would be plenty and a GTRS looks so innocent compared to a GT3076R .

Everyone reckons the Link/Vipec runs an RB25 a bit smoother than a PFC and that auto tune thing looks intersting

Will talk to SK and Scotty K soon .

Disco, I assume its for the street since you mentioned being emissions compliant?

If so, I'd go RB30DET + E85 Flex Fuel...

IMO The redline limit on the motor is close to being irrelevant for this application. As previsouly mentioned, having the extra capcity increases the usable rev-range of the motor. You can turn RB30's to higher RPM limits, you just need to make the proper modifications (Balancer, pump etc.). In any case, if your spending that much time on the street near your limiter, you deserve to have your license taken away from you.

My biggest issue with my setup is not being able to put the power I have down to the ground. R32 GTST RB30DET with ~280RWKW is quite a handfull at times. That said, I need to get a decent set of street semi's and a 1.5 Way C-LSD.

I completely understand going for an RB30 on a GTR and Stagea due to the extra weight of the car.

The GTS-t just isn't that heavy, E85/flex fuel setup is so much cheaper and will be grip limited everywhere with a GT-RS.

imo GT-RS + 3L will be rubbish and be falling over at 5k rpm without making anymore power than what the 25 can do

Disco, whack a good intercooler on and up the boost with the 98 tune, if you are concerned about legalities than get a Blitz turn flow thing, factory intercoolers are rubbish unless its off a Rb26...hell my JZA70 intercooler is 3x (if not more) the size of a 34 side mount and its holding me back at near stock power

or for even less money than E85 there is WMI

I agree in terms of weight. Although you can't beat power to weight, there is still a massive limit to what you can practically put to the ground without comprimising other areas of the car (excessive squat etc etc.)

I also agree at the cost aspect. However, apples for apples, there is a significant difference between driving an RB30 vs RB25. I've found the RB30 to be a more "streetable" motor. If you want to take off from the lights quickly, you dont need to stall the car up and look like a hoon or rev the thing to 5000RPM. Just torque away, barely getting on boost.

Zebra, by no means would I be chucking a GT-RS at an RB30. I'd be chucking a GT3076R on it or equivelent. Smaller than that and the thing chokes up. Larger and you start to lose the response you were after in the first place.

definitely this, would make an awesome 300kw with RB30/25 GT3076 0.6 rear and E85 , be loving traffic light take off's on lowish revs :yes:

0.63 is too small IMO.

Simons RB26/30 with Std cams, E85, GT3076R 0.63 A/R etc. chokes up top. All over by about 5750RPM. Bare in mind that graph is on a hub-pack dyno not a roller...

My GT3076R 0.82 A/R is still making power upto 6100 RPM but we ran out of fuel pump/injectors/AFM to do anything more. Makes ~230RWKW @ 4000RPM and peaks 281RWKW @ 6100 RPM. It's probably capable of 300RWKW with a bit of fuel/AFM and a psi or two...but who cares!

he said he wants "fierce low to mid range torque and maybe top out at say 270 Kw" , which is more 0.63 territory isnt it??

problem is that it would have the usable rev range of a turbo diesel

A well setup .82 gt3076 with an external gate is still pretty responsive on a stock rb25. I guess it's different strokes for different folks and everyone has different definitions and requirements for response.

ive always thought the vl turbo's were the ultimate in response for the street, on song at 2000rpm and strong... had longer gears too

had a ride in a modded one few years ago ,( 13flat quarter) pulled hard from 1200rpm to the redline.. for the street that in my opinion is the ultimate responsive weapon, city street need low rev pull to have fun.. setups where nothing happens till 3500-4000rpm are bit hard to enjoy on short city streets..but each to there own..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
