shouldent be a problem at all, hks t51 comes in a few differant models so suiting one for an rb 30 should be easy. first you should decide what you want from your engine and select a model you need. hks t51 come in 2 modles the t51kai and t51spl. kai is good for 800ps and spl for 1000+. prices vary depending which model you choose. there are also the usual ball bearing and non-ball bearing choice. other than that all you need is a manifold/ headers and to up grade every thing else.(fuel system, ecu, modify intercooler plumbing, oil pump rods and pistons.) it would be wise to spend a few bucks as doing it on the cheap could lead to a lot of problems. you would need a fairly strong engine as that turbo/rb30 combo could generate a lot of power.

Too big for what ???

One must qualify one's thoughts :D

In other words- what are you going to be using the car for ??

Tells us as a percentage ?

% Drag

% Circuit

% Drift

% Dyno Queen (no offence)

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
