ok as some of you might have read my engine is showing signs of stress

so as i know rb30's very well i have decided to build a 25/30det

using the na rb30e block and rb25de r32 head with no vct ......i can hear the booing already

but i have succesfully pulled lotsa power out of this set up and the low down torque is sooo good

now im going to start by swaping the rb20det for a r31 gts rb30e and turboing that with vl turbo parts

will my front facing rb20det plenum fit on the rb30e head?

will the exhaust manifold from my rb20det fit on the rb30e

in the past i have used vl turbo injectors but im wondering what would u guys suggest as they max out at around 200rwkw

i will use a dalkhalf (from r31club ) remapped ecu

i plan to run 12psi with the higher compression of 9.0:1 this should be suficient

when i hit 200rwkw i will put on the 25 head lowering comp to 8.5:1 and strengthen the bottom end

i know the rb30 is old and single cam but they are a great engine many people (rabjab) make huge power and retain the single cam for a while it will be rb30e+t

please comment all imput will be considered

thanks Ben

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
