Decided I'm no longer going to turbo my R31, and instead put the money to better use on my other car. So have all the following VL Turbo parts available.. most of them are all that is required for a turbo conversion on rb30e.

Not very negotiable on prices, as I know these can be difficult to track down, and it took me a while.

$150 RB30ET std. injectors

$150 RB30ET auto ecu (will work in manual fine)

$200 RB30ET manifold

$100 RB20DET piping + stock intercooler

These will be useful if you're going to use a stock VL T3 turbo:

$70 RB30ET Crossover

$60 RB30E cast dump pipe from turbo.

Strap these to an RB30E and push 130rwkw+ in your R31.. A nice match for any stock R32 or R32

All are in VGC. Can provide photos if you are really interested.

Number is 0417 016 326..

Please advise this dumb ass old fart how you get 130rwkw strapping on all the VL turbo bits when the VL turbo was only rated at 150Kw from the factory.

It is my understanding that a loss of between 20 & 30% was expected to be lost through the drive train.

This would result at the absolute best 120, but more likely 100-105rwkw.

Cheers.

higher compression in the RB30E vs ET - keep the boost about 7-9 psi and you will make 130 easily. it's only 160-170 at the flywheel, not that much really.

there is another, different way to make 130rwkw on an RB30E, that is exactly my power output and i am pushing a whopping 3psi. can you figure it out?

A bit off the track for a moment, but I have an MR30 Hatch, L24E with 8.5:1 comp, planning to transfer all my HR30 turbo bits onto it, including stock ECU or go with a Microtech piggy back system on original L24E ECU.

If non intercooled, how high can the boost be and am I going to benefit by fitting a bigger T03 turbo.

The L20ET engine has an T03 but only .47 rear housing, yet I have a T03 from an FJ20 that is identical other than a .87 rear housing.

Is the L24ET going to benefit by the larger turbo?

er this is not really the place for turbo discussion.. I don't want to be drawn into a why or why not.. but it is fairly common.

back on topic: all of the above is sold except the crossover and the intercooler.

I have ended up with effectively a VL Turbo which I need running on my R33 Skyline ASAP, and its designed to have the wastegate in the dump pipe. I take it you have sold the dump pipe?

Hi Stocky,

You did not open up as to how you got 130 rwkw on a RB30e at 3 psi boost?

Can only assume you are using some sort of supercharger?

For us 'dummies' please tell all - as 80 rwkw in NA form is what I have now & the attraction of a 60+% increase without going turbo is intriguing!

Cheers,

Richard

    • 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.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
