good letter Kel

Easily. The RB30 block causes the head to be situated very high compared to the stock 26, pm cubes and ask him about how much clearance he actually has (he reckons its not a lot)... cant run a strut brace with a 26/30 unfortunately

-D

ah cheers!

i knew the 30 block was taller, only assumed a touch though.

...by 30mm

[Luciano]

30mm doesnt sound like much, but how it looks is another thing i guess!

[heslo]

30mm is a lot in an engine bay for clearance issues. Then think that everything like exhaust dumps etc need to be re-fabricated to suit the taller block height. It's all one big task

good letter Kel

Thankyou Pete

[skwiz]

just jimmy a t51r spl on there, and forge the 26, much easier.

probably cost less too.

thats why if you go the kakimoto route you get to keep all your dumps and stuff

as with strut brace Cubes kept the over the top plenum and inlet pipe work if you go front facing plenum you can have a strut brace

thats Gold Carl

I've heard good things about N1 blocks being bored out to 2960cc with forged pistons - no need to have clearance issues if you don't need to!

ps: those cat things crack me up

how? heads still going to sit 30mm higher than standard?

Cubes had a R32 GTS-t didn't he? It harder to fit the RWD RB2x/30 because of the over the rocker cover intake manifold which reduces clearance even further. The GTR's have more clearance but there are still bonnet problems, also with the GTR's you can't drop the engine like with the RWD's because your dropping the drive shafts as well.

There's 38mm difference in the blocks.

They probably sit lower than other makers, which would be a bad thing normally.

yeah had a seniors moment there

yeah cubes also tilted the engine too from memory and dropped it a little lower in the engine mounts cant be done as your reason on GTS4 , GTR
