R31 engine question

[nizkorVL]

Just a question for you guys

Is there such thing as an R31 gt-R??

A naturally aspirated 3lt, NOT a turbo.

Does anyone have the specs on it? How does it differ from the RB30 n/a that is found in the 86'-88' VL commodores??

No there was no R31 GTR but there was a GTS-R. There werent any GTRs during the DR30 - HR31 era

R31 RB30E = 118Kw 247 Nm ( i think nissan used a better exhaust system that gave the extra 4kws )

R31 GTS1 = 130Kw

R31 GTS2 = 140KW

VL RB30E = 114kw 247 Nm

VL turbo RB30ET = 150KW - 296NM

Still more than the VT ecotec power output but put out around the same amount of torque

youd probably have around 85rwkw

There is a 3L GTS (GTS1 in the early series 1/2 shape, then GTS2 in the series 3 shape)

these are based on the aussie 4dr sedan. The GTS-R is the import coupe job. GTS2 = around 140kw

VL RB30E had a different shape blade on the clutch fan.

It's the same motor.

If you want some more info, i've scanned an article comparing the 2 cars/motors

You can find it in the "articles" section....

There are also some other articles on there that may be of some use to you.
