Ok. I've seen numerous threads where people put RB25/26 Heads onto a RB30e bottom end. That's fine as both engines are fuel injected and uses ECUs. I even saw the RB30E build PDF on the internet and it stats what is needed for the whole conversion.

Now, i'm asking something different this time. Don't use the ECUs. How about taking the bottom end of a RB30s (Carby) and putting on a RB25DE Head from a R32 (non-vct). That would work right. I know that will fit but......

The problem now is where can i get an intake manifold to mount Webers and trumpets onto a R32 RB25DE Head? Finding one is near impossible. Will the carby intake from the RB30S fit the R32 RB25DE Head?

This is just for information. If information is scarce, then i'll abandon the project. I'm not going high power here. I'm not even going to turbocharge it. Just looking for something different.

Thanks.

I asked a similar question. and the c*nts got stupid and started talking about putting a 202 into it instead.

don't abandon the project. keep looking.

Yeah, information on RB30S seems close to nothing. I guess no one has ever seen one lying around. Guess i have to search deep into Japan websites to find what i'm looking for.

Yeah i saw the link, got flamed instantly lol. Sometimes we are just looking for experiments and that's why we come to SAU...to get information. Not to be depressed and saying that efi is superior and such. We know it's superior but we're not aftering power here.

The RB30s and RB30e heads use the same inlet manifold pattern. So the RB30s inlet manifold won't fit your twin cam head. You'll probably have to custom make something.

Your other problem will be ignition - correct me if i'm wrong - but the twin cam heads normally use coil packs. That means you'd also have to figure out a way to fit a distributor too.

Comments about the RB30s lack of ability to rev seem to ignore that the camshaft profile for the patrol is likley to be very different to the RB30e in the skylines. The patrol is set up to have good power from idle for 4WDriving and higher revs are not really required for a standard 4WD.

You'll need to modify the manifold... BUT DOOO IIITTT.....

Use the stock 25 manifold, cut off the throttle body flange, remove all the injection gear then weld up the injector holes, weld on a side draft flange, bolt on a large side draft carbie. OR an LPG set up.

Ignition? Modify a cam gear to run an rb30 distributor off the front (speedway guys running vh's or lexas v8's do a similar thing), then run the ignition al-la rb30. It just has to spin 1:1 rotor button to crank.

Get a set of extractors, then mess with the cam timing to get the best low down torque results.

Just make shure you run some reasonable compression and tune it as well as you can (with LPG or carbie), if you go with LPG you can use alot more static compression.

Doooooo iiiiiiittt!!!!

+ if you get bored with it, drill and tap the injector holes, thread in a set of nitrous foggers and run 150hp of nitrous/fuel into the thing.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
