evening,
i heard been working my through the rb30 thread so know basically what im looking at, just want some ppl in the know ie-YOU to give me some advice/opinions on my current plans
microtech lt10's, garrett gt3540 1.06r, turbosmart 38mm gate-screamer, 555cc's, 040 intake pump, rb25 box, greddy ebc, etc etc the regular supporting mods.
im hoping for atleast 450rwhp
any advice would be great
head:
stock. with internal mod.
im undecided which rb25det head to use as i currently have 3 in my posession, 2 series 1 heads and 1 series 2.
plans so far for the Block:
-Mahle forged rb30det pistons with rings n pins
need help deciding between either 86.5mm (20thou) or 87mm (40thou)
my machinist recommends the 87mm..
-stock rb30e rods
-acid bath, hone, bore, balance
-harmonic balancer?? stock 25? 30?
-King or ACL bearings, i was going for ACL but my machinist told me to get kings as their "cheaper and better"
-rb25det pumps
-head gasket undecided
my block party
the series 2 head -stripped acid bathed, crack tested
cheers
