Hi all,

I'm in the process of an rb30det build with s1 rb25 head.

The head currently has hks step 1 - 256 dur 8.8 lift inlet and 264 dur 9 lift exhaust with an adjustable exh cam gear.

Vct still works and it has 1mm oversize valves and upgraded springs.

The head was spun to 8000rpm regularly on the 2.5l.

I know all this cos it's my head.

Just wondering if any of you can shed any light on how these cams will perform on the 3 litre.

Funds are tight but I don't want the head to hold the 3ltr back so would upgrade them if really necessary.

Rev limit will remain at 8000 and I'm using a precision 6870.

I have never personally dealt with that sort of power level before mate so sorry but I can't really give you any info.

Yeah have seen over 400kw on standard Neo cams before. My car is spinning to 7500 but that dyno run was only to 7000.

RB30 bottom end has 340,000km on it too [emoji1]

Roughly what power are you looking to make? I use standard Neo cams in my 25/30 neo (tiny baby 232 in/ex) with a 3076 .82 and make 350kw with the turbo being a restriction as its too small.

What fuel  ?

I thought the rb30 block didn't like revving past 7000-7500 unless messed with?

Like any engine it needs to be properly balanced if you want to rev it high. Rips has some RB30s spinning at 10,000 rev/min.

Yes of course but I was lead to believe it's due to the lack of stenghtening in the block. Compared again the rb26

Thanks for the reply matey :)

Rb 30 suffers from harmonic vibrations more than a 25 or 26 yes but due to advances in engine building and design over the years many RB30 have been known to spin as high as 10000 RPM and stay together due to finer balancing tolerances.

When I built mine I told the Machine Shop it would be spinning to 9000 RPM and built to produce 1000 horsepower.

This insuring my 7500 RPM rev limit will be safe and I will not break the engine due to overpowering it at 700 horsepower.

It's now about how deep your pockets are and how much you want to spend vs reliability and longevity to hp

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
