Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi guys,

I've got myself a new toy at add to my collection and need some help. The car is a VL calais (feel free to hang shit), I've built and dropped a 355 in it with 9 to one static comp so I can add boost. Now ideally I want to turbo it and rather than supercharge, Problem is if I do the turbo ...

Yes it can be used with other simple type converters, The B2 style converter im pretty sure was based on the old IMPCO L (could be wrong its been a while), main difference is the B2 is usually fitted with a lighter spring on the primary side I think.

Why would would bother when a genuine new B2 is ...

Plus I run temp 6 or 7 again depending on other factors you may be too hot although this won't blow them out that's all the gaps work

Depending on how much boost, compression timing, coil and ignition type you won't find a definate answer but I usually run .65 to .8, gapping 1.1's down to .65 might be a bit much though.

Joel i mucked around so much with it and the strike pattern was nearly in the middle of the rotor button but i still had problems so I gave up and had it re graphed, with that said it ran 3 years at 10-15psi with mechanical advance hooked up, using only the vacuum advance unit as a retard unit (on ...

yea yea yea this is wat u need ive built 1 in a skyline. RB30 turbo bottom end (turbo block has piston oil squirters). then get an RB26dett head then custom manifold with twin gt35/40r tubos ,custom plenum with twin 600 cc injectors per runner(gives better idle then 1200cc injectors) internals jun ...

i wouldnt go the RB25 but a RB30 in a gq is hardly crap of road, check vid below and this was with near bald all terrains.......this car had left some much bigger setups winching while it "struggled" up :roll:

And in the first vid you can hear the throttle being played with on off on off, plenty ...

Ive had mine on 3 separate dynos all dyno dynamics and had figures all with in 10kw highest to lowest, all at similar altitudes and winter runs, also at nearly 2.5 tonne even on 10 pound it was running 6.2 secs 0-100 so i'm not doubting it made good power for what it was....the new owner doesn't ...

I get them out in less than 10 minutes so I'm not fussed, still a stupid spot but they just copied it of the skyline and VL

Your right if you wheel in mud you kill them lots, I do at least 1 a year, search twin turbo patrol on here from memory he moved em to the top on drivers side, I was to lazy and just rebuild them.

Beurepairs clayton did me 16x8 for $104 each and 16x10 for $140 each only few months ago, this was better than I was able to get at trade at the time.

lol RD28 is direct bolt up, with shorter gearing.....no I'm not guessing, and have covered a bit about these boxes on here in the past.

Different completely

Im all for it, if I built another pooey it would be RB30 without a doubt, my one has given me 4 years of fun and embarrassed some serious looking cars in that time.....all while having stock idle and appearance.

if you research the RB series engines, the RB stands for "race breed".
the RB30 was designed for forced induction, just look at the block, it has provisions for oil & water lines to a turbo, full girdle bottom end. you can push big HP out of a stock engine with only minor mods and they love it.

i ...

lol how about fixing the bent bits in the front end first.

is the centre bore the correct size? or is the weight held by the studs?

Built a new motor 6 weeks ago, new turbo cam, high comp again new extractors and of course all internals, so much better than the old one, it was getting a lot of blow by in the end lol, but now comes the pain in my ass.....

Its for sale guys if anyone's interested including brand new motor i built ...

Its not beefed up, its actually the same box in 2wd form, people always say how weak they are, I've broken about 5 and its not easy, a good fresh one will take the power quite well, I've covered it a few times on here.

What's the question?

Far as I remember there was about 200 utes built and no wagons, and spam sucks

Pretty well actually it does clear on full compression, I still haven't had them in full swampy clay type stuff yet but am going out Sunday so we will see ill report back in the Creepy Crawler thread, on snow they did it easy, on the limited mud ive had them on not bad too, I'm guessing if I could ...

yeah its normal you have Nearly 3000kgs on 4 wheels against a pissy pair of shoes inside that drum being operated by a cable.

I didn't bother, I'm keeping the GQ and currently building a new twin cam RB30 hoping to push 350-400 rwkw so I've started collecting the adapters to put a turbo 400 behind it and not waste anymore time destroying clutches and gearboxes.

considerable difference, when i was looking at setting up a big hp GU the GU 4.5 motor and box are weaker than the later 4.8, From memory AXT (sells kits to arabs mostly) said most autos behind 4.5s fell apart not long after you start pushing 160+rwkw, the 4.8 auto is said to be very good but i ...

and of course GQ 3.0 and 2.8 Is the same again.

Would love to see the spreadsheet of this when its complete.

Fcuk yeah I'm impressed lol

id never recommend supercheap for anything as their usually really expensive but they sell these for around the $100 mark

100%. Direct fit nothing needs changing, if you search you'll find this covered only recently in more detail.
