Beautiful education lesson for the kids there Luke, it's not the size of the turbo, it's how you use it. 😉😎😎 I love the old school method of hi-flowing turbos being applied to 2019 technology with the extra 20yrs of technical knowledge acquired. 💪
This build is so sick, and my story has nothing to do with this, but I got bitten by the bug the same way. I have always loved Hondas, and have always loved turbocharging on my own terms. I've owned DSMs, I've owned domestics, I've had land barges, and this Civic is my 53rd car since I was 14. I bought my Civic to get back into the crowd and now I have a little over $10k onto mine, I am the only one that's turned wrenches on it other than the occasional help from a friend, and it currently makes 508 whp. We would've turned it up more, but my Competition clutch started slipping. I just installed a Clutchmasters twin-disc clutch and I have a set of 2200cc injectors waiting for better weather to retune it and make close to 700 whp in a 2000 lb car. Believe me though, 508 whp doesn't sound like alot, but it's enough to make a 10 second pass and MORE than enough to make most people shit themselves. This car has to be downright scary...
Oh yeah this is the kind of turbo noises I like to hear I like to hear this kind of turbo noises gets me much more interested in these types of videos it’s all about the noises hehehe not always blowoff noises just spool
What a car man looks like an absolute peach to drive compared to my vl, running a 26/30 manual 71mm turbo e85 and the pig comes on at 5000rpm but we are getting down to the factors to bring it on at 3000 when it should.
@@bigchief9036 this is true but not always the case. A very responsive single cam 30 can be quite easily built. Lag is induced by picking the turbo that isn't suited not necessarily for the engine but relative to compressor and turbine sizes
@@willemszchmilem7678 correct. I'm just saying in my application/setup it should be coming on like a light although we've had alot of issues to fix first, it will be going to maatouks very soon for a retune.
Great video thanks for sharing awesome car and setup. What did you think of the 2spd Luke? Some people swear by them in street cars others say no they prefer an extra gear as they find it a bit unresponsive. I know stall and turbo size also factor in but just from watching that car seemed 100% sweet especially for an 8s street car??
Hello Dalton rd!!! Haha, such a good place to live when your a car guy- Epping. Cops have better shit to do than hassle you for defects out there. I think i lasted 6 months coming back down Preston before i lost my licence... Now i wanna move back to Epping
Series 2 n/a block (non turbo) block has prevision for the turbo oil feed & drain as per the turbo block. Earlier n/a blocks will need to be drilled & tapped.
What happened at the end of that 8.77 run in the final clip? Sounds like a couple of spikes in revs and then something flew off the front of the car, looked like a windscreen wiper or window cowling of some sort?
Nice spacer plate between the rocker cover. Because the camshafts lobe has a higher lift on it and stock rocker cover isn't high enough to clear the lobe .lol
Who gives a fuck if it's a BARRA or RB30....Every fucking debate is based on the factory platform of who did and who could of. Appreciate the owner for building such a car and then appreciate the motor of choice and what type of combination they utilized let alone time and money it has consumed to get where it has for fuck sake...Thumbs up to Fullboost once again.
Any vehicle over 25 years old can be put on H-plates in Victoria. You can have between 30 and 90 days a year I think and it's cheap that's why people do it. If you only drive the car on weekends it's perfect although you have to fill out a log book every time you drive.
Fullboost would of been much cooler if it was an LS...........LS the world!!!.............................. haha still an awesome video as always guys keep up the great work.............. i'd still watch even if it was a weed wacker oh wait you've done those they're called rotarys ahahahahahaha
Lol LS over rated paperweight...hey lets throw 500lbs in the front of a car that was never designed to handle that amount of weight and throw hp at it until I look cool.....yea mate LS the world
@@BobbyB910 ahahahaha pretty sure the all alloy LS is lighter then the iron blocked rb30 dude.........as far as "design" ahahaha yeah because holden designed the vl (in fact all their cars) to handle 1000hp an run 8's without modifications ahahahaha ..........and lastly i love how simple minded knuckle draggers get all upset over what is clearly a bait joke "designed" to shit stir cry boys like yourself, well done....hook, line an sinker...................
@@willemszchmilem7678 Considering the only RBs that are in the 6s (TRP 300ZX, Maatouk's VL & R32) are running this combination, it's accurate. Then look at the others in the low 7s running RD28 based blocks, still 3.2 stroker with 50psi+ boost.
Don't waste your time. Unless you've got someone willing fund it & to do all the work free, I could think of better things to do than popping pistons like tinnies at a barbecue. The Best use for an RB30 series, is on the end of a chain, Boat Anchor
00:02 Rubber timing belts are a shit idea aren't they? I know it's cheaper for a manufacturer to produce but far canal look at the thing whipping around on the drive side! No wonder the dizzys used to give trouble and it can't be keeping the cam perfectly accurately timed. Great build though, props for being a proper street car.
@@scootbmx01 Well it just is mate. I'm a mechanic and I worked on these for years when they were fairly new. The chattering of the gears caused by the belt destroys the coating on the standard gear in no time. Not to mention the mistriggering from the 360 degree sensor. I realise they replace them with hall effect my point is it's not the most accurate way of timing the camshaft.
So much hate here between RB,Barra and JZ.Fuck repect his build and be a car enthusiast.Bring what you got and race it.Have fun blow the block to pieces then build it again :)
Standard 20 clicks on the handbrake by the looks of her, no wonder he has to fix the hood lining! that’s all good and well but how about getting a half decent mechanic that adjusts that as part of a service rather than just the oil drop and reach around he’s obviously getting? 😂

And now over to the skid factory for the vl build.
i like how they kept it all original including the blown tail light.
Finally a real rb30 with the single cam
My 1st car at 16 was a Blue VL, I was rarely late for work :)
Very clean install, nice. I hope he enjoys it for years to come.
Love the bit where he says "life came over you as it does" aint that the truth.
Love seeing a vl in its natural habitat...... thomo bro!
I like this style of vid u guys should do more 🖒
Shout out from WA. Defo do more vids like this boys! 👌
Awesome car, awesome owner and builder, awesome vid.
Love a good single cam RB30 turbo. 👍
That's a VL done right. great video.
Wow now that’s a true ‘street car’ well done to the owner and all involved 👌🏻👌🏻
Good video. Good timing as well enjoying the skid factory build so interesting to see something like this that already honed in.
I like how drivable it is on the street excellent build
Mark is the Tony stark of dirty 30s.
Great car, top bloke and unreal feature. Good job 👍🏾
i like the owner of this car and the guy that built the motor. I'll be giving John a yell when i need some work done.
Australia has muscle cars that I have never seen. Besides the Holden and all the right hand drive American muscle cars
Beautiful education lesson for the kids there Luke, it's not the size of the turbo, it's how you use it. 😉😎😎
I love the old school method of hi-flowing turbos being applied to 2019 technology with the extra 20yrs of technical knowledge acquired. 💪
The Tech has changed, and so have the uses.
@@wobblysauce Yes, but hi-flowing in 1999 meant just jamming a cut down T4/T5 sized diesel turbine blade into your OEM T25 housing. 😉
GO the RB30ET fucken love em! Goes to show you dont need twin turbos, VVTI, dual cam's etc to make serious and reliable power.
Love these interview style & in depth look at builds like this. Killer vid boys! 👌🏼
The old man is a mad turbo scientist
Excellent video guys out doing yourselfs again
intresting guy, big internals in small turbos. the youth need to learn this

Great vid, and nice to see a VL, one of the best looking Commos.. In my opinion.
Love the fact he's going down the engineered path to make it street legal. No need to cut corners on this clean build.
Great tidy and stock looking build, nice work!

I think the 3.9 gears certainly helped on this car, it doesn't at all feel like it needs a 3spd, it's not lazy at all.
I like a little turbo lag but this car definitely is built to be more controllable and I think that's interesting.
Beautiful car! What compression ratio are you running?

did it lose the windscreen wiper at the end of that run ?

Yes it lost the rear bumper trim which is common on these cars.

Nice spacer plate between the rocker cover. Because the camshafts lobe has a higher lift on it and stock rocker cover isn't high enough to clear the lobe .lol

Bro i want that turbo... i have a built VL calias with a GT42 turbo and doesnt come on boost until 5000rpm... so unpredictable with boost...
can i ask to you ?? why you not use doch heand valve ??
That is explained in the video. 👍
Nice 👍 work. I like performance engines .. 😢
That’s mechanical engineer do ..
I noticed in Vic a lot of Vl turbos have the Club permit license plate why is that ?

how much boost needed to run 6S? and what is the best RB to run 6S

Nice
Is it really a T3 housing!? surely its a T4 on a 3.0 making a 1000hp
Oh wow finally no dislikes
Watch it blow up in couple minutes
Why don't they design a billet rocker cover that's higher? ?
Because its cheaper and does the same thing.
So how come the lads at this level don't use air filters?
You'd imagine a 1000hp motor probably wants air filtration more than something with 150hp.
guess they would argue it restricts airflow into the turbo. also could suck it in in a worst scene scenario
