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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
