paulr33 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 its an rb26 head and rocker covers onto an rb25 he has etched out a corner of the 6 to make it a 5 people have done it the same to make it say RB30 as well you just work on the lettering of the 26 to make it say 30 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/218799-engine-bay-pictures/page/4/#findComment-3876104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjmartz2k Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 its an rb26 head and rocker covers onto an rb25he has etched out a corner of the 6 to make it a 5 people have done it the same to make it say RB30 as well you just work on the lettering of the 26 to make it say 30 Close It's all RB25, including the head. It's an adapter to keep the ITB from the RB26, and like you said, the covers bolt right on. I did have to trim the "ears" of the backing plate some for the timing cover to fit. That's got to be tough to make it say RB30. Would you add extra material with a welder or somthing?
