Hey Guys -Firstly Great Forum, Heaps of information and has been a great help so far -120 Pages later!!
Im from NZ (Wellington) and im just about to start my RB30DET build.
I have just purchased an RB30de S2 Block , Rb25det VCT head and a Greedy Plenum -$600 total
The block was actually quite tidy for a 180k motor so the block is going to be shipped to the Re conditioners this week for New Rings , New Main bearings, New Bid Ends, New cam belt and tensioner +Relocation, 1x 1.5mm Oil Restrictor, New RB25det Oil pump and Crank collar, Rb30de water pump. Pretty much a decent refresh for the 30DET build. (factory Pistons,Rods ,Crank)
The head will maintain all its factory Valve train however will get the values refaced and reseated.
The head will also be moddified for the VCT feed
Im wanting to run with the aftermarket plenum and the standard rb25det fuel rail, upgaded injectors (600cc), FPR, 044 Intank. q45 TB and AFM, 3" inlet IC piping to FMIC and 2.5" to the turbo housing.
For the run in period im going to stick with the standard rb25det manifold and turbo. Although i wil get a GT35/40 and PFC later.
Since all this is going into a R32 GTST coupe - will i have to change my loom and ECU to an r33 rb25det loom and ecu for the run in period? Is this going to be a hassel? i know i can use an r32 Rb25de head, However as i already have a MINT VCT 25det head im keen to stick with it.
Any recommendations would be great and any ideas on how to keep the coast down for my daily driver would be awesome. I do have more cash to throw at this - However buying a house at the mo (probably bad timing on my part)
Cheers Bois!
