i still havent got an answer about how you can keep the oil pumps alive with those revs on a rb30.......

who says it rpm that kills oil pumps? I've been over 10,000rpm with my RB30 lots of times with a conventional style oil system and wet sump

same...mine sees 9500rpm almost everytime its started...i reused my JUN pump as it had the faintest wear line down the drive face.

I would also like to know what mods are needed?

i had my 30/25 balanced within an inch of its life with lightweight skirtless pistons etc to get some revs out of it but would still be hesitant to rev to 9K just curious.

The R.I.P.S rb30 bottom end has billet main caps and over 75 bolts that hold the bottom end together.

A nitrided,cryoed crank,grub screwed and balanced and there you have it.

i dont know how u can count the sump bolts as bolts that tie the bottom end together, its actually only 51 if u use the rips "4 bolt" mains, 37 if u use the normal 4wd adapter. Total number with the sump bolted down is 79 with the rips "4 bolt" mains and 65 with the normal 4wd adapter.

Ok there are 51 bolts that hold the bottom end together.

Sorry :)

The sump adapter is made to suit the billet main caps. I dont think you can buy just a sump adapter plate but im sure Rob could confirm.

Its not actually. The sump adapter is made to adapt the 4wd sump onto an RB30. RIPS just incorporate the sump adapter into their "4 bolt mains" setup.

I make the sump adapters, rips make the sump adapters, pro engines make the sump adapters + more

Can i have one?

No i meant the billet main cap bottom end has a sump adapter but can only be used on R.I.P.S s billet main cap bottom end and you cant use this sump adapter with a standard girdle.

Im not sure if they make just a standard sump adapter like pro engines one.

Ahh k gotcha, yeh they do make the normal sump adapters

If you dont want to rev it hard just go for the normal adapter plate.

the bottom end will cost you the same as a 26 to build.

Adapter plate is somewhere around $1000

But if you want to rev it mine owes me about $14000 thats a R.I.P.S billet main cap bottom end.

we overlayed our circuit cars dyno chart with both power and torque against the GT-RS's on the drag car and you would swear it was the same car.

The low mounts at 22psi and the T04Z at 24psi...same power but the low-mounts power was made a little earlier and held on for longer...same with the torque...both are HKS powered cars but the circuit car was on Sunoco and the drag car was on BP98.

hey paul - was the T04Z or GTRS turbo's modified in any way?

ive always liked the idea of running twins on a gtr - the 2 'balls' of the godzilla!

The T04Z is an off the shelf HKS item. The GT-RS' were modified Red R Racing spec items.

Shanef, (with tounge in cheek) I'm so glad you know all about my products, what they can do and what they can't what they include and what they dont and what works with what and what doesn't, saves me alot of time, incredible :P (couldn't find sarcastic face, lol)

IMO the sump bolts play a key part in holding the whole deal together, you wouldn't be happy to let the sealer dry then pull out the bolts would you?

If you can spread load in any direction and minimise it at any point it has to be an advantage and the sump bolts are definatly to be counted as an integral part of the bottom end.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
