Rb30e to Rb30et (Highcomp)

[M3ZZA]

Hey guys how do you retard the timing by 15 degree's ?

And with regards to a turbo for example a rb25det turbo and vl t3 is there much difference and what sort off wastegate springs do they have fromt factory and is it hard to replace the springs to run 10 - 12psi ?

I sold my turbo so i am looking for a new one again. Also my mate who is really good at welding and building performance motors and s**t said he can help me with my intercooler kit setup so i am going to get a 600x300x76 intercooler and 2.5 inch piping for it.

Only problem i have now is these intercoolers have 3 inch inlet and outlet so when i get it i am going to have two 90 degree bends going in towards the motor and then i am thinking off using if you can get these a 3 inch to 2.5 inch silicon joiner. Can you get these type off joiners ?

And if you guys could please post up some pics off your intercooler piping setup that would be sick it would really help me out with my kit.

thank you

Quick question,

I have put the feelers out for a cheap vl project car, we'll see how far i get with that one, HAH.

How hard it is to turbo a s1 RB30 (ie no oil/water lines tapped into block?)

I know for oil feed i can get a sandwich plate between oil filter and engine....

Water feed shouldn't be difficult?

Oil return is gravity fed back to sump? This could be a pain in the scheme of things...

I guess i'm better off just waiting till the right RB30 comes around, and has these ports tapped.

Hi mate i think you would be better off just dropping in a series 2 block since they have the pre drilled holes.

Well since i dont yet have a car i'm just going to get a series 2 VL, but was just weighing up the ease of converting a s1 block

Technicaly you can mod the sump for oil drain but it has to be high enough so it drains freely. A mate had a sump made up years ago

Yeah probably a bit to much stufing around for my liking. I'll just keep an eye out for a later model vl.

yes u can get those joiners ur on about Mezza,, thats what i have as well when i get home ill post up the routing i have done for my cooler. My piping was already bent i did not use the 90degree joiners.. + These Joiners are expensive

Ok cool mate.

just bought myself a turbo manifold and external wastegate today... ebay spec but it'll do, looks good, no cracks & brand new.

Anyone suggest a turbo?

It's basically this manifold: Top Turbo Manifold RB20 RB25 GTS-T RB30 VL skyline (eBay item 280563693964 end time 16-Jan-11 19:00:07 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

Although i didn't get it from ebay....

Also, dump pipes.... for a high mount turbo, did you guys just go to your local exhaust shop and get them to make something up or what?

Nevermind, stupid question sorry guys.

Will just get a flange like that for the turbo, probably going to go a T3/T4 ebay special and that flange should bolt straight up,

Cheers
