vr rb30 turbo project

[tadpol88]

hi guys! ive been following the threads that vn luke has been posting about his vn twin charged rb30 sleeper. and have started my own quest for chasis twisting power. calling it the vr rb30 turbo project. im looking for any and all ideas that any of you might have to improve the hp fuel consumption etc. ill be making various parts that i will be selling if any one wants to do the rb30 convertion them selves.

build it ground up on gas . that'd be good on fuel consumption compared to petrol

so.... does your VR already have an RB30DET in it and you are planning to twin-charge or are you planning to put an RB30DET in your VR?

Just a question, how much power do you hope to achieve? I mean is it something you'd gain significantly over a buick twin turbo'd 6?
I mean if this is a project it sounds awesome, but as far as money goes I personally would stick with a buick 6 and force induce it... the power gain between both engines could only really be minimal if your wanting to acheive power and economy?
Anyways mate I wish ya the best with it! :thumbsup:

Ussualy when you want power you can say goodbye to the good fuel consumption. You need to burn more fuel to get more power.

its rb30et luke.

DET= dual cam

rb30 = single


and mate, youll strugle to get mind bobling fuel economy out of it.. build yourself up a low comp forged bottom end, with a mild boosted cam, either keep the single cam head or use a 25 head, your choice, youll need decent manifolds also. shouldnt be a problem there are plenty around, and your engine bay has plenty of room .

as for mounting, it was far easier for luke as he used the vl crossmember which bolts straight up to the vn chasis, but as far as i know of, not the vr. so youll run into a few issues there.

its rb30et luke.

DET= dual cam

rb30 = single

D = twin cam
E = injected
T = turbo

RB30ET = SOHC turbo injected :whistling

EDIT: to clarify, E is multi point injection. i is single point (throttle body) injection

I was looking at doing this to my VS calais, would shock some people out there when ya pop the bonnet
