There isnt a whole lot of info on rb30dets in my desired relms of use. Most rb30dets area drag monsters...

Hmm suppose it's the difference between a punchy quicker less laggy spool or a wait for a bit and get the the the holly f##k on it scary spool. Response vs shear power balance. Loads of rb's you see with bigger turbo's tend not to be able to get off the line or blow up boxes half shafts and diffs. I'd say with the bigger turbo you would need a mental clutch and longer ratio to get the power happening or it would just snap stuff and light up the tyres permanently. Which is also fun:-)

High flows have been tried on an rb30 years ago. It was a cheap build basically stock Na bottom end with the 25 head and it came on like a light switch but come 5000 it hit a wall, by 5500 it had dropped about 100kw from memory.

 

This is no gd... mine will be a forged bottem end so looking to lean on it some ?

Being a 3ltr it will have more torque anyhow so perhaps response is the way to go? Don't forget I'm only a sheet metal worker who has never blown up a Cleavo Windsor c4 top loader or 9".[emoji4]
Gtx3582r with an 50mm external gate is what i was also thinking. Either way i think external gates gonna be better


I had a pre gtx series 35r with 0.82 rear. If you tweaked the waste gate setup you could have 20psi at 3500. Traction was non existent below 100km/h, for Street use it was too laggy to be quick and too fast to be usable without potential jail time. You would start seeing positive boost (a few psi) at 2500 with a bit of load.

Guilt-toy had a similar setup and should be documented fairly well on sau.

This is my dyno sheet, 26 psi and the dip at 145 was spark breaking down, done on a 33c day.

Hell yeah, that looks right up my street. I wont be using it much on the street, mabe once a week at this stage. Il proberly get hooked at drive it all tje time lol

thats a run out at an airport, i am not even an amateur film maker obviously as its hard to even read any of the gauges. had spark breaking down at 160 then it clears up and keeps going, trapped at 242km/h at the 800m mark.

That's mainly to give you an idea just how quickly 400kw puts on speed.

If it's going to be a track toy, you are going to need some serious brakes to deal with stopping it. Upgraded pads and rotors won't cut it.

350 all round. Alpha omega brembo upgrade. Dba discs and bendix pabs. With all my cars its always been suspension, tyres, brakes then power.


Posted some pics of the boot fit out. What do you think of it?

Looks good mate, should sound good too.

A lot of bass is lost through the back seat of our skylines due to the steel plate etc but will still be plenty of punch no doubt.

Is it all hooked up and running now?

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
