RB30 Head Gasket thickness for more boost

[FiXtUrE]

8:5;1 comp in ideal for boost. There are copper head gaskets that are custom made if you know the thinness to achieve 8:5:1.. 9;1 comp is fine… but you will be limited to how much boost you can run.

Www.coppergaskets.com.au. If your after one 👍

What’s the limit of boost at 9.0:1? Very curious to know.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

I must be doing it wrong then lol..

Better lower the boost or compression.

[FiXtUrE]

From my understanding you can achieve about 5 - 10 psi with 9:1 - 9:5:1 comp safely before it goes pop.. before you think this wack boost levels, you have to consider the turbo, dump back exhaust, fmic etc your going to use on your rb30. 

what power do you want, and is it a 5sp or auto?

[FiXtUrE]

Tuning will play part in power levels also.

You can leave the stock comp and put it on e85 and run higher boost?

Regardless to fuel it’s the boost/comp pressure that will determine if it gos pop or not.

Do you care to elaborate on that statement?

what comp ratio do you think this thing has to run 100psi of boost?

 

[FiXtUrE]

Lol… I doubt it’s running 100psi.

rb30 with 8:5:1 head gasket + stock mani with spacer adaptor to blolt on rb25 t03 (with ceramic wheel) and possibly stock dump depending where turbo sits + custom mid pipe + r31 house rb20det cat back + hr31 stock intercooler at a maximum 12 psi + nistune should the job with auto (400kw)

steel wheel t03 + r32 gtr or r31 house fmic + forgies with big boost, go for your life with manual if you can find a clutch up to the job 👍

[FiXtUrE]

1/2 the problem is the silo & ti front bars don’t hand the side duct for hr31 side mount. Your gonna have to go a fmic no matter what, but that equals less boos for an auto setup.

Yeah I doubt these 6 second 200+mph cars are running the boost they say they are. 

I mean look at this guy claiming he is running 90+psi of boost and a 250 shot. 

Why can't they just be honest and say they are really running 12psi of boost. 

 

[Murray_Calavera]

It's basically Hollywood isn't it? I mean look at this! You can see the car on the dyno, see the data from the log.... 600KPA target. 

More like 82KPA target and a bunch of YouTube Hollywood magic showing fake numbers and fake data, right? 

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

They probably borrowed an American dyno too, so it can read incredibly high numbers too.

What HP does the MPH/ET/ Weight and stuff say, those Moroso calculators are pretty accurate for a rule of thumb ball park figure...

What the hell kind of crack smoking joke is this? That is literally double the power possible with a stock ceramic shitter. When I'm talking about shards here, they can either be what you are on, or the pieces of turbine. Take your pick.

And just when I think SAU was getting dull  . . . . this happens . . . . love it !
