Hey guys,

Out of curiosity how much power did you put out before your gearbox has blown with the rb30.

Give us a rough breakdown on the
- clutch ( single / twin / triple plate )

- torque figure

- kw / hp

- how you drive it ( track it here and there / often or street it only )

My gearbox is in great condition when i was running 234kw on the 26 and redline oil but now ive got a RB30 with HKS2530's expecting close to 600hp, probably a decent torque level too with the ported head, ported manifolds , ported rear housings etc...

Going to wakefield soon.. Will probably blow the gearbox there... hopefully not till the end of the day haha.... can only hope !
I've got a single plate 6 button brass button now without a spun centre which is gna be a bastard... Lol... told jim berry i wanted something nice and driveable but he gave me that ... oh well..

How did yours go ?

Guys, what's your turbo selection?

Precision 7175, come on Paul give me the bad news. :)

On the other hand, give me directions for a good box that should hold up......

Good luck :D.

As for the box, you'll start to realise there is a "gap" in the market. OS set, maybe, but a few guys on here have busted them with sub 500 kw atw, let alone the 5 million you're gonna make with that thing! Whatever the direction, it's $$$ and lots of it! The 1-4 PPG helical dog set is prob the cheapest way out.

Ive been lurking in that PPG thread of yours a few times now, seems to be the right way going by discussions.

At the moment saving pennies and dimes, and trying to convince my son to do the change before the engine goes in, while he still has a box to work on before he blows it.

Watching.

I have an rb30det in a patrol, same gearbox (internally), weighs in at 2200kg on 35" tires, so has massive drive train load. (and 240,000km old)

My only upgrade was the cusion button sprung center clutch- 2100kg pressure plate.

Don't have a power figures yet, but guesstimate around 200-210kw atw?

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
