350RWKW out of RB30DET?

Hi everyone,

I have bought a complete RB25DET motor and I am putting the head onto a standard 3L bottom end. I beleive the 3L is fairly strong. Provided that it holds up will it be possible to get 350RWKW out of it with only these bolt ons?

GT40, PowerFC, Intake Plenum, FMIC, 3" exhaust, 550cc side fed injectors.

Around how much boost will I need to run? Also if I need to run more boost, what is the best method to prevent detentation? ie water injection?

I wasnt sure whether or not to put this on the other thread but its too long to go through, sorry if something simliar to this has been posted. :Oops:

Thanks Edward

an aftermarket head gasket would be nice to drop comp ratios a bit more so you can run higher boost.

Uprated fuel system to cope with the demand, just injectors won't be enough, a pump upgrade would be good, or just go the whole hog and get the propper high power fuel setup, with surge tanks etc

Best method to prevent detonation - don't mix high boost with an already high compression ratio. Give it a good dyno tune too, to get the cam timing right and the Fuel:Air ratios

rubbish.

rb30 bottom end and rb25 head will give it 8.3:1 compression... that's not high..!!

as for 350rwkw... it would definitely be pushing the stock rods and pistons at that level.

You really should read the 91 pages that are there in that thread.

also, saying GT40 turbo doesn't really mean anything.. what is it's rating? AR's etc... these will tell you if it will flow enough to produce the power you want.

these have been covered in that thread.

i wasn't saying it would give a high compression ratio, i was saying a higher compression ratio is something you want to avoid when running higher boost

Plus if you do change the gaskets then there's one less thing you will need to worry about later on

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.

      Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?

      Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
