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

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
