Hey guys, yeah I'm another blerrie newby.
Umm, I've spent gawd knows how long glazing throught the sh$%loads of pages here and found it to be the best discussion on rb conversions out...
Good form people.
I know I drive a Bommodore, (I'm sory), but I have just started doin the bastard up.
Now I'm an apprentice 'Chanic working for my father,so I got a reasonably good idea what I'm doin however, I'm new to Jap stuff, all I know is Holden v8's to be honest.
Now I'm looking to pull around 500hp atw, (370 kw) one day, (a long way off I know), but as I'm just starting where should I start?
Initially I'm gonna acid dip the block, balance the stock internals.
I wanna chuck a 26 head on it, with the VCT, that doesn't worry me in the slightest.
Now I need to drill and tap the rb30 block to accept the larger head studs?
What is the best idea for inlet / exhaust / cheap starter option?
I mean eventually I'll throw some good Tomei gear down the 30 block, port and polish the 26 head and go to about 25 pound on the boost guage... What should I be looking to do to get that far?
Money are an issue of course, so any price guides would be much appreciated.
As for time, well I have got a second RB30 al;ready in the car, so I have THIS one on a stand for the rebuild...
I got no idea on computer gear, dynoing and whatnot, any advice?
And before I go, (Cos I know you'd be sick of a prick like me),
I'm gonna convert the VLK to manual, the cursed 5sp, I'm guessing other than a decent clutch and light flywheel, it should be able to cope with a gentle right foot until I can drop a r34 manual in it???
Sorry for being a long winded bastard, but I wanna do it right!
Cheers
