Hey guys and girls,

So ive got my hands on a rb30 block and i have a r33 gtst. How would i go upon making the infamous rb30? my block is bored out to 87mm honed and decked. i know ive got to modify my rb25det head slightly for it to work with it but ive heard a neo head works better ? is it true and if so how ? also what pistons would i need to you and crank. budget isnt really an issue for me i just need info i get mixed numbers all the time.

Ive got a 3 layer cosmetic head gasket also, ill be running 272 cams and ill be installing stiffer springs and upgraded lifters and all the supporting mods 1000cc injectors and all the good stuff. Once again my goal is anywhere around the 600 hp mark. i have alot of experience with engines as i have grown up around them but never really rebuilt one alone and which is mine..

Any help would be great thanks.

600hp (330awkw) is pretty straightforward and should not require anything special....as Bob said just follow the well worn route. Even if you want 600hp atw (450kw) it's well within the ability of the combo on e85 with the right turbo

you'd put smaller cams in it for a start...272 and rbs are a good receipt for breaking shit, revs are not your friend, you want area under the curve..and lots of it for a streeter

small cams/ stock intake runners/.decent comp

600hp is pretty much a stocky, built right and tuned well..the vl turbo guys have been doing it for a long time..since the mid to late 90's ..skyline guys just take no notice..lol

and twin cams are far easier than a sohc head

Just depends what you personally feel comfortable with doing and your budget

cheers

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one...

When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.
