jimi: easy man, we can do it one afternoon. just need a couple of cans of WD40, those manifold bolts are bitches to get off!!

joe: hard, you need new manifold, turbo, intake piping, will kill your gearbox and clutch after a while cos of extra power. just buy a turbo'ed car

:uh-huh:

I am also very interested in seeing if oil feeds and other anciliaries bolt back on without a hassle. So basically on an RB20 all you have to do is buy new gaskets and rotate the housing? Sounds too simple to be true. I have access to a VG30 item and I'm very interested to hear the how to and any problems anyone has encountered, before I roll my wallet out and my sleeves up.

Waiting patiently

p.s also safe boost level on VG30 snail with stock R32 apart from cat-back and bleed valve. thanks :D

thats the other thing i was gunah say jimi

theres a few things u might wonah do before bolting on the turbo... a good pod filter/panel filter, boost guage, possibly intercooler. id say get a boost guage, pod filter, boost the std turbo then wait til uve got a FMIC and fuel pump to take full advantage of the VG30...

heheh mmmm looks like I'm gonna need to do some things before leaping into this hehehe

well I was gonna fit the bleed valve and boost guage after exams and then hopefully find a FMIC somewhere too.

guess I'll just wait a little while for this turbo.

Same goes to putting turbo on RB25DE! How hard is it?

chees

Joe

R U serious Joe?

RB25DE and DET arent the same engine really as such..

The DET has stronger internals and lower compresion, totally different exhaust manifold setup to just name a few...

It would be easier to sell yours and buy a turbo like you should ov done to start with rice boy!

JimiH as in turbo upgrades the T3 vg30 is not a hard upgrade compared to alot of others, altho u have to check oil and water lines match up and dump pipe is the same bolt pattern as the guys have already mentioned..

T3 wheels are a fair bit bigger than the standard T25 ;) ya cant go wrong!

And that comes from the LagMasterAdam32

2 choices that u can do.

Hi flow your existing turbo and no other mods

or Buy a T3 and rebuild it then posible mounting issues because T3s come from VL Turbos and 300zxs or the like.

The T25 has to go ;)

You can run a modified turbo with no other mods such as FMIC and Retuned fuel curve but u wont get much benifit until these are both done + u will be running minimal boos without a fmic if u whacked on da turb first!

Cheers

Joe

I mean Mac

well it depends on how much power you want to make and how much lag you want to deal with!  

the VG30 should make 280-300rwhp. is that enough for u?

300rwhp is is really maxing the VG30 out!!

Go for sumthing bigger where u wont have to have it runnin at its peak.

    • Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov
    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
