Gday all, not sure why im doing this(the sound???im going mad???)but anyway ive got a rb30 lying around and some gtr throttles also and thought id put them to use.

Plan is to do away with the rb26 head>throttle piece of alloy and make a kinda triple dcoe manifold using the base of the rb30 plenum and some bits and bobs welded on, similar to this:

manifold%20Hemi%203%20x%20DCOE%20-%20650.jpg

My only questions are how long should the runners be?(was thinking shorter the better but have to avoid the water inlet)and also how the hell can i get it to run?(mods to the head?standalone ecu?) i have the gtr plenum so could i use the rb30 afm/tps etc and hope for the best? ive never modified anything like this before so id just like a little advice.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Steve

Mate, I'd leave it.

better to spend the money doing a 26 head conversion.

but, if you are that bored and have the skill to do the work yourself, why not try adjustable runners.

put it on a dyno, and adjust until you get the best response.

if you do go ahead, keep us updated.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
