I have a bosch 044 pump, Sard 550cc injectors and a Nismo fuel reg. I am currently making about 235rwkw and, like Bass, am looking for a VG30 ext. cover, also will be adding poncams and will port the head while i am at it.

Now for my question: At 235rwkw the wolf is showing that max duty cycle is at 80%, i was surprised to see it so high. Will i be able to make the extra 40rwkw with the current fuel system? I haven't touched the fuel reg, since i bought it second hand, is it just as simple as increasing the fuel pressure to compensate?

Your help is appreciated :D

Mine basically looks like a regular RB20/25 turbo, the comp wheel does look larger as there isn't the step up.

I'll take some pics and post them. I've got a .82 exhaust housing that I will place next to it.

The VG30 is definitely a .6 something not a .82.

It will be interestering to put it next to the rb20 exhaust housing to compare the difference.

Hi Al, I'm no authority on anything but on Tuesdaywhen I was having a check up on the Dyno at C&V when the GTs-t made 273.9, I'm pretty sure Con said my injector duty cycle was showing 80%, and with the A/F dropping off Con concluded that the Fuel Pump was maxing out. That was with Nismo 550 injectors, Sard FPR and R34 FP. I asked him if he could screw the FPR a little so that it could make up for the shortage and he didn't like the idea...Said the only solution was a bigger FP and swirl pot.

With those extra mods Al (Head Porting etc..Seriously.. your looking at making close to [email protected] kid you not.

Thanks Ian, but question still remains.

I have a Bosch 044, so do i need to just adjust the FPR to give me more fuel? The 044 is claimed to support about 600hp so i don't think it is the limiting factor. I need to check, with a pressure gauge, what my FPR is set to.

Note:

You are making 273rwkw with 80% d/c, using 550cc inj.

I am making 235rwkw with 80% d/c, with 550cc inj.

So it is reasonable to assume you are running higher fuel pressure in your fuel line?

Thanks Again (PM replied)

Hey Guys

Does anyone have the serial number for the VG30ET Turbos or any part numbers off the turbo?

We are developing STAGE 1 and 2 TURBO UPGRADES for the RB

Stage 1 - 440HP CORE with standard housings

Stage 2 - VG30ET Turbin Housing

Cheers

RACESPEC,

Its not the VG30ET turbine housing you want.

Its the VG30DET turbine housing. Those you won't find easily. :P

I don't see why the VG30ET housing wouldn't work as from memory its the same as the VLT housing. Only difference is it's not boltup. :D

I've pulled apart my RB25DET turbo this arvo, and tomorrow I'm going to try to fit a VG30ET turbine housing to it.

It has a different dump pipe flange, but it's possible that a custom dump could be made to suit. Not sure yet, but hey, it wouldn't hurt to try. Not even sure that it will fit onto centre bit, but just thought I'd play.

Bass Junky,

Does it look bigger? :P

Do some measurements through the center of the exhaust wheel to where it looks like the gasket or what ever bolts up. Basically the largest wheel that can be machined to fit.

I've done a few measurements on the vg30det turbine housing and it looks the largest it can be machined out will suit the GT30 600hp, I wouldn't want to machine up the stock comp cover to suit the 600hp core. :D

The only difference between the GT30 600hp core and the GT35 core is the turbine wheel is slightly smaller. From memory 7-8mm.

It 'may' be possible there is enough meat in the vg30et/RB30ET turbine housing to fit in the GT35R core. :)

Cubes the turbine the highflow uses is I think the 76 trim TA34 ("stage 3" in turbonetics speak) which from memory is 64-65mm so larger than the GT30 turbines major diameter (60mm) . We both know which the better turbine is though .

Just on those Hi Flows , I believe they can use any of the T3/T31/TA34/T4B,E bush bearing type compressor and turbines . Garrett are supposed to make all the GTBB type wheels (both sides) in bush bearing style that could be used if you can get them cheaply and easily . So if you could find a GT35 compressor and GT30 turbine and fit it into the Hitachi bearing housing with the XTR (Turbonetics?) BB conversion bingo - one GT3071R that falls onto an RB25 and suits all the plumbing requirements for oil water air and exhaust . It can be that easy , the real question is can it be done economically enough to market it successfully . Maybe we shall see ahh GCG ?

Cheers A .

I refuse to quit the search for this VG30DET housing.

Damn you Bullant47. You have reduced my life to that of a computer geek searching the web for some bloody obscure component that nobody has.

ARGH!

Sorry Pete...Have you tried "The Toy Shop" in Newcastle?. They recon they had one when i was looking for one. Just make sure whoever says they have one that it is the "RIGHT" VG30. I got the wrong one originally and had to take it back.

Just in passing, I raced at Oran Park on Sunday and I was .3sec outside my fastest time on the GP Circuit. The GCG with the VG30 housing is incrediably powerful and is different to the normal GCG Hiflow. You have to wait a little till the car is fairly straight before you can plant your foot cause it wants to spin the wheels a lot and bring the tail around. Maybe with newer tyres I will do a lot better as I flatspotted one of the front tyres badly (down to the cords) and the RE55's are just about had it. Had heaps of fun on the day and the Skyline was hootin. Results are on www.natsoft.com.au There were about 15 WRX's there including 2.5l STi's and not one WRX bettered my time.

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
