Just got some more bits for my turbo upgrade and was wondering what power will this baby make ? details are

RB30DET with cast pistons and vvt

Nismo 740cc injectors

Power FC

Sard FPR

HKS Exaust

AVO Stage 2 intercooler

XTR GT3540 .82 ???HP BB turbocharger with Tial 38mm ex gate

Cheapie SS top mount exaust manifold

Stock inlet manifold

Walbro 550hp intank pump

Can you run a bleed valve on a Tial wastegate???

anyway what kinda power is this good for ? the old turbo setup made 230 rwkw on 10psi with standard injectors maxed out

yeah, you will need a bigger pump, i maxed out the crappy walbro @ 260-270rwkw and there was nothing left in it.

AFR's were on the border of going south. Piece of junk IMO.

You'll be able to run it with the stock AFM, it'll be maxed for ages, but you can keep going even if its maxed, its just not very safe.

I would advise against it.

What pistons you using?

And a bleeder will be fine, i ran a bleeder of my gate the whole time.

Depending on what PSI you want to run, get the closest gate spring you can to your target PSI, it'll make the whole setup a lot nicer

stocker pistons?

change the turbo to something smaller then, better response dude!

550hp or something, itll come on stupidly early and make the car a much faster streeter

GT35 is a tad large for a stocker motor like that.

My 20 cents worth..........

The secrets to getting a standard internals RB30DET to survive are;

A. no more than 475 bhp (290 rwkw)

B. no more than 1.1 bar of boost

C. no more than 7,000 rpm

D. avoid detonation (nothing more than 10 on the PFC scale)

E. tuning, tuning, tuning

1. You are running a 700 bhp turbo on an engine that won't handle more than 475 bhp (~290 rwkw) for very long. In order to keep the engine alive for any length of time you are going to be using less than half of its airflow capablity. At the same time you are puting up with 700 bhp worth of lag

2. You are running a turbo that doesn't get efficient until it is making 1.3 bar on an engine that won't handle more than 1.1 bar for very long. In order to keep the engine alive for any length of time you are going to be using it at very low efficiencies. At the same time you are puting up with a large turbo (airflow capable) worth of lag

3. You are running a turbo that doesn't generate efficient airflow until 6,000 rpm on engine that shouldn't be rev'd over 7,000 rpm very often. That's a 1,000 rpm powr band, that means on the 1st to 2nd gear change you will have to wait for 2,000 rpm before it gets into stride again.

4. If your mate told you he was geting 2.2 bar (that's full boost on a GT3540) at 3,500 rpm on a 1J he was eitther lying or dreaming.

5. You will need an AFM upgrade, the RB25AFM will get to 5.1 volts around 225 rwkw, with careful tuning you could stretch to 245 rwkw. But 290 rwkw is way beyond stretch and isn't safe. The airflow characteristics of the GT3540 will change after the RB25AFM reaches 5.1 volts. It's time for a Z32 AFM upgrade.

6. Are you running the pump on 12 volts or 13.8 volts? ie; do you have a relay and dedicated wiring back to the battery for the fuel pump or are you still using the standard wiring. If you are getting 13.8 volts at the fuel pump it will be OK for 300 rwkw at 1 bar boost. If you run more boost than that than the fuewl pump flow rate slows down quite dramatically.

:O cheers :)

thats interesting you say that as ive been told that i should go a bigger turbo again because this one is too small for my car - they said i should go the 1.06 rear housing instead of the .82 rear that i have.

Will look into this. What rpm will boost come on with this turbo with a 3 litre with .82 housing then ?

Sorry my mistake -- the turbo would be a 700hp unit with the 1.06 rear ? but this one has the .82 which takes it down to 550 600hp ?

My mate with the 1j that sold me this turbo said he definatly would get close to 2 bar on this turbo by 4000rpm no worries with the .82 rear. does that sound right ?

I got a dyno vid of his 1j doing 406rwkw on 28psi with this turbo with a stokers bottom end

Also the pump is wired using the standard wiring. Have not changed it at all. Doesnt the pump get more voltage when you get onto the gas anyway ? or do you have to directly wire it to a relay and power it directly to the battery?

dont listen to your mate :)

RB30det, 1jz - two different motors in terms of what they will/wont do etc

Why live with 3500rpm when you could have it 3000rpm or even less with a 500-550hp snail?

Because the next stage for mods would be Forgies / Cams / Rods and much more boost.

This turbo has the .82 housing so its not the 700hp version of the GT3540 right ? wouldnt the 1.06 be the 700hp version ?

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
