Rb30 Whorethread

[r33_racer]

Not really. But it means I would have to buy another throttle body bigger then standard. Probably atleast 100mm, though I think the intake to the plenum is only about 90mm, nothing abit of grinding cant fix.

Guess I will just have to see for myself. Hopefully it wont be as bad as he made it out to be.

Does any one have the 30's welch plug sizes handy?

[N1GTR]

Crap I had them written down but havnt been able to find the paper in a long time

[zebra]

damn

might just have to punch them out and do some measuring then

[N1GTR]

Well if you're buying them from somewhere like repco they should have that on file and probably have them in stock for a reasonable price

[zebra]

Im gonna try and get some stainless ones if I can...depending on the price of course lol

does anyone know if the rb25det oil pickup pipe is the same as the rb30 one or can i use the rb25det one? will be using rb30 sump

also i need to get another rb25det harmonic balancer if anyone can sell me one. im on brisbane northside but will get it posted off ya if needed.

[r33_racer]

You can probably use either. The sumps are much the same besides the scraper fins on the back of the 25 one. Should be fine.

If I still have my old rb25det balancer you can have that. I will have to check in case it got thrown out by my old man. If it is there though, a bottle of red rum is the price I am also northside.

The pickup in the block is in a different location isn't it? Pretty sure you have to use the RB30 pickup...

Highly advise an ASR sump/pickup, mine is a work of art!

Oh and get a decent balancer..

33N1 balancer is a good choice, it's surprising who uses them

just checked. rb30 ones have a o ring to seal it to the motor. rb25 one has a gasket. but i got a gasket in my rb30 bottomend gasket set. might have a o ring in there also but. there exactly the same shape wise. had 2 rb30 ones in the shed but one is crushed and the other the mesh bit is abit broken. will use the rb25 one with gasket

[bubba]

You better hope that gasket seals where the o-ring used to be..

Quick question,

If I dont want to use the factory water/oil heat exchanger, and just want to run my remote filter block thing straight onto the block, is the thread the same?

you need an adapter, oil filter/relocator and block are both female. the rb30 has just such a thing

Does any one have the 30's welch plug sizes handy?

6x22mm

12x30mm

Who has had the block grout filled and how much fill...?

What size radiator and oil cooler were used...?

[r33_racer]

Lucky! I put it in the ross box. So yes its there

I would like to know too, I have heard people filling to the welsch plugs with not too much hassle. I would be very interested to know if people do this to engines that see some circuit work...?

what water pumps are you guys using on your rb25-30 motors? do i use a rb30 one or rb25 one?

[Alf]

RB30 water pump is fine, if you ask one for a VL it will cost you half the price.
