Post by **archaeicbloke** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 2:22 pm

For anyone interested in seeing the story from start to end of how Rob from RIPS Racing built himself a world record racing machine based on the RB30 engine,...Holy god!! http://skyline-life.blogspot.com/2011/0 ... board.html

Personally, I think the craftsmanship is unbelievable, the exhaust on this machine is out this world!! how I envy the people who have managed to acquire cars built by this man.

What's that little turbo-looking thing under the giant snail with two small pipes coming out of it?

I think you're talking about one of the wastegates. The blue and silver thing, right?

BOV looks the same as gate....lol here this should help..

This is a photo showing the Wastegate for the turbo:

This thing here is the Blow Off Valve

Looking at this pic, there are two wategate dump tubes. I'm guessing it's running two wastegates for a true twin scroll setup.

I think my next project for the Vert is gonna be to drop in an RB30 with my current ITB setup. I can use my same manifolds, sensors, wiring/ecu, etc...

That is if I don't sell/trade it for something new first....
