in Part 5 of my VL Holden Commodore project I will take you through the conversion of the Nissan RB30 NA engine to a Turbo engine, I have listed everything that we needed to do the conversion and incase you missed anything I will list them here.
Extractors to suit Turbo, machine face flat and change studs. Rebuild turbo changing seals, New Injectors to suit turbo (bought from Ebay), a Turbo Computer (manual & auto are different), Exhaust system to suit and dump pipe, Fuel Pressure Regulator, Turbo Intake. Some things that are general service items worth doing at the same time, New Spark Plugs, Leads, Timing belt, front main seal kit, fuel and oil filter, new 5lt engine oil and fresh coolant.

When I did my VLT conversion, we just slapped a turbo, intercooler & a few little bits straight onto my series 2 block, no bigger injectors or ECU, ran rich as hell haha only pushed like 8 pound too but it was fun enough for me til I sold it

get a blow off value, very good for a turbo , every time you back off, the turbo can go for 200,000 revs to spinning backwards and snap. with a blow off valve it just slows down slowly..
@TheGunmanChannel
@TheGunmanChannel 9 жыл бұрын
swolath True, and they sound cool. But tbh I've already blown my budget on this conversion, I plan on giving it a bit of a squirt every now and then but mainly just take it easy so I don't blow it up as you say. Main reason I'm doing this car is to have a project and make loads of cool vids on the transformation.

swolath I've had a lot of turbo cars with no BOV's and never had any problems. When the air backfeeds into the compressor housing the fins 'chop' the air. I've never heard of or seen any turbo destroyed from running no BOV. A lot of people on the internet will run their mouth saying it's bad when they've never had personal experience (Not taking a shot at you).

Hey mate, did you get your block tapped for oil pickup for the turbo or did you end up using a sandwich plate on the filter housing?

The Nissan RB30ET turbo and RB30 non-turbo engines in the VL use identical blocks, hence they have drilled and tapped water and oil fittings for the turbo, and are simply bunged up in the n/a version. There was only a few differences in the whole engine between both aswell, lower comp pistons (not stronger though), a different camshaft profile to optimise the valve timing for the boost, and larger injectors.. this all makes the conversion from na to turo on the vl's Nissan RB30 engine easy.

The Gunman Drive it as hard as you like as long as it doesn't ping or lean out, I recommend getting a nistune installed in the ecu and a intercooler since it will probably ping without it when summer comes along.

@@alycestapleton A turbo spins very fast; most peak between 80,000 and 200,000 RPM (using low inertia turbos, 150,000-250,000 RPM) depending on size, weight of the rotating parts, boost pressure developed and compressor design.
