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

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.

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
