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 ?

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
