This is the place to discuss all aspects of rb30 twin cam converisons.

A huge amount of information already exists in the rb30 conversion thread, but if you can't find the answer, this is the place to post your question!

Good idea Duncan. Maybe you should post in the intro what people should put in their questions so we can give some answers. Like with Nev above. Sorry to single you out mate but some tosser could start by saying "maybe look in a GMH parts catalogue...." or other worthless crap.

You really need to give us an idea of what you are planning to do with the engine, HP goal, car it goes into, budget etc. From about there we could just about price it up completely and tell if the machine shop is ripping you off.

i have a question regarding compression ratio's :( , im scared to ask though

but i will anyway :P . does anyone know what piston height would be required (from the pin) to achieve a cr of 9:1? using an n/a block with r33 det head? :P

actually what would be really good is an up to date step by step guide on the conversion locked would be nice too

What piston crown dimension?

What head gasket thickness?

What combustion chamber volume?

What deck machining?

What length rod?

Cheers

    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done? 
    • Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.
    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
