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?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
