Just to start with, yes I've searched :)

But have only found conflicting info.

As in gt3037? But it comes with the options of 3 different rear housings?

same as most Garrett units, hks, etc.

I'm shopping for a new/bigger turbo,

I have a RB30DET in a patrol wagon,

Currently makes 244hp atw, but with this nasty Chinese t04e (0.63ar rear)I'm running, it has to much back pressure and boost drops off over 6000rpm.

I'm not chasing power, just want good low down response that will flow enough for roughly 300-350hp?

My tuner said it will make more power at the same boost if the exhaust housing had less back pressure,

My setup is stock 30 block, 25de head non vct, hi-mount manifold, tial 44mm Gate, 3" mandrel exhaust all straight through except 3" metal cat.

Neo 25 injectors, stock (front facing- cut/shut) inlet, 2.5" cooler pipes, 600-300-75 fmic.

What I want to know is with what turbo, and especially what size trim and a/r rear are people's engines making boost?

As an example of what info I'm after -

RB30DET, t04e .50com .63rear, pos pressure @1850rpm, full 15psi @2600rpm .

So can people post?

Engine, turbo, rear housing size, rpm which you see boost, rpm you have full boost.

Cheers.

^^This is what the RB30 dyno results thread is all about.

There isn't an RB30 dyno thread. There's a 25/26-30 thread, but results there are going to be quite different to a bog stock single cam 30DET head. Sure, he can get some ideas, but it's still a fair question.

To be honest a better response would have been to point him to a VL forum. They have way more experience with RB30s than the folks here.

I've read that thread over a few times, nearly all state a model of turbo, some state the rear ar, but those are always 1.06 or somethin massive =lag monster with a sledgehammer power curve, I'm after info on boost threshold.

Pretty much exactly what kiwiRS4t gave me!

Also recommendations are welcome.

I'm using an r31 block,pistons. Originally 9.0:1 static.

R32 rb25de head, 62cc chambers.

Slightly skimmed when it was freshened up.

1.3mm head gasket.

Cylinder pressure is 150psi exactly.

So maybe 8.5:1 (ish?)

The ATR43-TX3 from hyper gear looks the part I need, rated 400-600hp.

G1 profile -400hp with .63 rear

Would this provide aggressive response and still be ok up to about 5500rpm?

Most of my driving is 1500-4500rpm

With the occasional 6900 overtaking and lights-lights drive maneuver!

It would be silly responsive on a 3l. You'll probably want the .82 rear on it. I reckon a .63 will struggle at 7k on a 3l.

Edited by Cowboy1600

The performance goals are achieveable with either the 3076 0.82 combination, or a Hypergear unit.

Begs the question of why muck around with a RB, when big cubes TB45/48 engines are made to run in the 1500-4500 bracket.

Best torque for an average 30DET should be in the 2500-6000 range, using budget gear as per the build spec notes from OP. Getting strong turbo-assisted torque below 2500 is likely to result in exactly what happened with the TO4E.

I'll throw in an unusual budget suggestion: Kinugawa TDO6H-20G 10cm.

good idea

Though I'd look more at the TD06SL2-20G with the 9 blade rear wheel so it can still breath out at higher rpm :)

This one http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/291207219708?nav=SEARCH

The smaller exhaust wheel for faster spool

Also OP reading your post in the dyno thread I will guess from what you wrote you retarded the intake 2deg and advanced the exhaust 4 deg, this is wrong for what you want, advance intake 4 and retard exhaust 6, give that a go and report back :yes:

SL2 turbine probably should respond faster, due to less inertia

When building these 30DET you can't set cam timing from an unknown starting point. The cam timing markers don't line up to zero. Highly recommend paying the relatively small cost for an experienced builder to correctly set both cams using degree wheel and dial indicator. Then you've got a proper starting point if you wanted to play further on the dyno. Achieving low rpm gains will still come at a cost of higher rpm losses.

If bottom end grunt and instant response is the target, I wouldn't think the 30DET is the best spec. Small capacity engine in heavy truck can only do so much. These things still need to turn a few rpm to work well.

TB45/48 with a GT37 would be hard to beat, provided you could keep fuel and clutches/gearboxes up to it.

I'm certain that there would be some good info out on forums covering Patrols, Off Road racing etc.

That's a good point and something I should have added, the specs I give for cam timing should always be from a corrected zero :thumbsup:

While the 4.8 patrol motor will give more from lower rpm, that is really only a benifit to rock crawlers, 4wding and off road racing use a wider rev range then the 4.8 will deliver, we race off road

This has a VQ35HR N/A

I think the RB30det set right with the right turbo will give more then enough power anywhere in the rev range

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
