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.

also the t51 is a very efficent turbo considering it's size/ power rating. you should expect a bit of lag till around 3000-4500 rpm maybe more. good luck sounds like lots of fun.

the rods are vl turbo ones. custom cam. personally i think its too big of a turbo but anyway

[B-Man]

Too big for what ???

One must qualify one's thoughts

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

Tells us as a percentage ?

% Street

% Drag

% Circuit

% Drift

% Dyno Queen (no offence)

and ET with just forgies and a cam?

dont even both with this turbo then You'll enver get any decent use out of it.

but a GT35 or soemthing bit less power but will make the car go much better

exactly my thoughts

ok thanks guys i think ill go with the gt35 40 which was dnbs personal chice

[R31Nismoid]

GT35 all the way.

thevl turbo boys are loving them. But they have decent cams too btw

[GTR-Ben]

Well considering people run the T51 on the Rb26.. it would be even better on an RB30.

In fact there is an OS RB30 here running a T51R SPL.

the engine has a decent cam.it made 250rwkw with a small turbocharger so 300rwkw is a given with a gt3540
