Very interested in having an Rb26/30det built for my 33gtst but I dont have the time to read 3000+ posts at the moment anyone whos had this done possibly have a list of parts,pricing,labour etc? would be much appreciated

so your not going to be building it yourself then?

then get some quotes from some workshops.. expect for a proper build RB26/30 to be near $10K just for the motor including labour.

Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

Just got my rb25/30 dynoed both stock AFM and injectors were limiting produced 183.9rwkw at 5,500 rpm on 8psi, not bad i thought need to chuck those injectors and bigger airflow meter in then she will be cranking :dry:

good effort, once you get them injectors and afm in she'll be flying, presume that was done at boostworx?

GTR injectors still wont flow enough, and are wrong impedance.

Why go to all the effort? Just get 550's from Japan for @ around $900.

Drop straight into the RB25 rail.

Then it will justify having the GT35 on the side of it as the GTR injectors still wont allow you make the power you should with the GT35 on there.

Good idea! :glare: Kill 2 birds with 1 stone :)

Or try to track down a set of 550cc rx7 injectors.

The GTR's should push 250rwkw odd with a bit of fuel pressure.

Do remember Shaun's dyno reads a tad lower than the rest as for what ever reason he runs it in SHOOT6 mode not Shoot6F. generally speaking as you lower the shootout modes the reading also becomes slightly less.

For example.. throw it in shoot81 and you will pick up 25-30rwkw. :yes:

SO yes.. 550cc injectors push 18-19psi and 300rwkw odd. :D

anyone used GTR cams in the RB25DE head with the 3L bottom end?

I've used them in the DET head, so if they have hydraulic followers they will give the same problems. The flank angles are too high so I found almost no power under 5K rpm but plenty over. The cams can be reground to give even more lift and the right profile for hydraulics.

looking into this now, they will fit but with a weld and regrind should be pretty good accompanied with some adjustable cam gears, just weighing up whether to do this or get some poncams!

why not spend the $450 odd for a tomei exhaust cam for an rb20det head (like 264 with 9.0mm lift) Staright fit, no welding. Depends on what u want out of the power band as to what specs u need im sure, so what results would the gtr cams bring in over the std 25 cams? Not much or alot?

still looking into it, theres a guy on calaisturbo.com that does weld and regrinds and has a really good rep! I'd rather get a full set of cams rather that just the one. This is the message he sent me!

Re: cams

If you want a small improvement without changing anything the best bet is to give me some GTR cams and I can grind them to hydraulic spec to suit your motor. This will add about 10 degrees and 1mm of lift to your car as it is now. Cost is about $220 to grind the cams that you supply.

He said there isn't as much to gain using the 25de non vvt cams!

Still looking into it, still getting my head around all the 'degress' and 'lift' etc cam talk, don't wanna jump into anything until i understand it more and work out the best value for money!

You said camsssssss... Being $220 for 2 sticks to be reground? If so thats not bad...

What do you mean by the second bit... isn't as much to gain using the 25de non-vvt cams. Is that compared to the regrind or the std rb26 cams?

i can't remember exactly but something about the gtr cams having more meat or more area to grind/weld makes them better for a weld and regrind

it is $220 for both cams!

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
