Was having a look online and read a few places that a rb30de engine as long as it's series 2 is fine to use for 30/25 turbo build so long as you change the cams and pistons as I was going to anyway. Is this true because if it is my mates got a spare rb30de s2 with water and oil lines already that I can have so would save a bunch of money on doing so.
 
Cheers guys.

You can use stock pistons if you are poor. I think you'll find the cams are in the head.

Will probably upgrade pistons just because it'll all be apart. And yeah, was a copy and paste from vl forums. :P

You don't need water and oil lines if you are just going RB30DE, the water and oil lines are just for the turbo.

Going to be turbo. Only just got into the planning phase so still doing a fair bit of research and planning out the go.

Once I've mapped everything out as far as all parts used for certain components I'll do a write up and can get critiqued on the optimal way to progress towards my goal.

 

End goal is MAX 500RWKW, tuned to say around 350ish - Want it for Race Days, Street driving/weekending occasional weekly use.

Go to town on critiquing. Would love to get the optimal parts for my goal, within a good price as cheap as necessary but do want it reliable.

Right your thread says RB30DE so was confused. No way 1000cc injectors and a 3076 will ever make 500kw but will do 350kw no worries

Yeah, I changed to just aiming for 350kw. More reasonable for my budget and my first build. The only thing I think I might change from that above list is just getting some upgraded cams, from what I've read and seen others do they've achieved my numbers with a pretty similar setup. Do you think that the listed above build will be pretty reasonably reliable at about 350kw?

I've just about completed my 2530 depending on power goals is not a cheap build. I hate to add the final figure but all I can recommend to it once do it right. Remember poor man pays twice
List of mods include
Series 2 rb30de block
Ported rb25 head
Tomei valve springs and retainers
Camtech 272 cams
Garrett gt42
Npc twin plate clutch
Bosch 2200 injectors
Microtech lt16c with flex tune
List goes on


If you buy a neo head and intake you'll save money on the reg and fuel rail plus all the other benefits like solid lifters.

My fuel system is maxed with 1000's and walbro 416, change the 044 pump for a bigger.

Going to use the head and any other useful salvageable parts from the engine from the car I buy 33 gts-t.

I think i am going to go with the option of doing it right first, it's going to be in the build phase for a long time since I can't drive it anyway for another year so there is no rush. So It's going to be well worth it when it is done.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
