Ok. To start with this engine is in a lc gtr torana. So it's fairly tight in the engine bay.  Pic of engine bay is old setup 25neo

I'm about to get my head back for my 30 25 neo and need some help pointing me in the right direction on a couple of questions at the end of the post.

But first I will give you a full spec list of the setup. 

Specs are

30 block

Crank welded and modified for 25 oil pump

All resized and nitrared so as new.

Spool h beam rods arp bolts

ARP main and head studs. 

87mm Forged arias pistons -10.4cc

Zero deck height

Jim berry modified clutch 4200 pound clamp

N1 oil pump

N1 water pump. 

2 x 1mm oil restrictors

1.3mm mls head gasket

Head has exturnal vct mod -3 lines. Ported inlet and exhaust performance valve springs and type b pon cams. Head cc is decked to 49cc

Giving me a 8.5 to 1 comp

Freddie intake manifold match ported 

1000cc bosch injectors e85 compatible

Walbro 460 intank pump. 

Custom made steam pipe exhaust manifold hi mount

Gtx3582r with 45mm exturnal gate off exhaust housing. 

Running 22 to 24psi for pump 98

3 inch from turbo back exhaust

100 cel cat straight through muffler. 

The only thing that will be holding it back is I only have a r34gtt Nistune ecu with hpx1 afm at the moment. 

I have read several post on here about cam timing and still haven't heard of anyone getting the best setup or no one is willing to let on.

I'm also not sure if I should dump my spitfire coil packs in favor of ls9 truck ones.

Also not sure if I should dump the factory cas for a rossi cas trigger.

 No-one got back to me with the "secrets" of cam timing but my local shop suggested better valve springs but you have addressed that... and I fitted an adjustable cam gear to the exhaust to be tuned on the dyno. What sized rear end do you have on your GT3582R?

The only downside I see to your build is the relatively low CR at 8.5:1 but you may be able to overcome that with heaps of boost. Will not be so crisp off boost.

No need to change the splitfires ( I used brand new OEM gapped to 0.8mm) - if you find they are not keeping up you can change them later. The Nistune may not hold you back so long as you have an AFM that can cope. When and if you change to a more sophisticated ECU you will probably need to replace your CAS with some other kind of trigger.

Depending on the spec of your turbo I am picking you should make at least 400KW

Its a .82 rear on the gtx3582r.  If I can feed more boost into it I will. 

Being that the engine is in a lc gtr torana that is only 1000 kgs I'm not to worried about it off boost. 

Due to the fact that the 30 bottom end will produce more torque than the 25 neo it should be fine.

Thanks for that. 

Will get some picks when I get the head back hopefully by the end of the week.

Always wanted an LJ. Strangely I am more a 6 cylinder guy than V8s.  I was really trying to get my brother to buy one but I ended up getting him an SS Chevelle out of the US. Mega cruiser but LJ would have been a more entertaining drive

Nice colour! I like the slr style front spoiler too! I had a LJ close to that colour a few years ago, I miss that car 579f36af5cf99_ImageUploadedBySAUCommunit
Id like to see how the 25/30 goes in the torana, I've only been in them with 186's and 202.

Like a cut snake on water. 

With the 25 neo same top end less porting and 18psi boost 422rwhp cold do 0-100 in less than 4.2 seconds.  And standing 1/4 in 10.9.

Had it up over 235ks on Lakeside raceway. 

I'm looking to make an extra 100hp at the wheels and a shit load more torque. 

I hope that the 20g is worth it.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
