[exhale 32]

Hi, looking for an engine for my car anyone know if there is anyone in WA at the moment with 1 dont want to bother with interstate.

[EVL R33]

Can you not rebuild the one you have?? By the time you buy another stock motor and swap them you could have rebuilt the original with forged internals....

[fane]

hahah....i'll show you the video that i took if you want brett....

we got prices on rebuild....it aint worth it...

[EVL R33]

Is the head salvagable, Im thinking RB30 bottom end with RB26 head????? hmmm??

[bully]

I was considering doing a RB30 bottom end make the GTR 3L tt, but every1 said to much work, what yas all reckon?

Head is repairable.

Quoted $800.

Really need new block, turbos highflowed and head repaired. Most of the prices ive seen for this are more expensive then new engine, but i was very keen on doing the 3L convestion just to do sumthing different and working on the car for next 6months.

Every1 talked me out of it so far......how hard is it to do?

ezpz go for gold son

Was hopeing more for maybe 7-8k. And i wanna try and get it done in WA nun of this interstate BS to much effort.

I say rebuild will be cheaper than 7k anyway - plus with forgies!

[GOT BOOST]

the 3ltr block isnt drilled to suit the gtr sump or as strenghtened as the rb26 as far as i know.PLUS the deck height ofthe engine and bonnet clearance. I spoke to your dad where to get engine from anyway

[Gav]

If you cen get trade price, try Nissan for the price of a new block - I recall they were quite reasonably priced (sorry, can't remember exact $$$)

[fane]

800 bucks to repair head....

Nah, it'll be $7k minimum with forgies + head rebuild + turbos.

exhale 32, 26 head on a rb30 is a bit mismatched. The flow of the head is more suited for high revs, and the rb30 bottom end is never going to do that with a 7000rpm redline. Not without a new crank girdle and/or billet crank anyway.

By mismatched I mean a decent rb25 head will actually give more power at part throttle than a rb26 head. The rb26 head only really comes into its own at full throttle (larger valves) and high revs (solid valve train).

Still, if you want to go for it, just find someone willing to build it. It is a bit of a hassel though, with the drilling of larger 12mm head bolt holes in the block, tensioner positioning and the extra 38mm on block height. This is all imho

gav just over 2k brand new block from nissan..

[exhale 32]

GOT BOOST I havent seen my dad in ages, ill ask him tonight what he's heard.

Do you think it'll be possible to have the whole engine completed with forgies and high flowed turbos done and installed for 7k?

What i need is.

1. Head rebuilt or new 1

2. New block

3. High flow turbos

What kinda price am i looking at just estimating.

Cause it might be cheaper just to buy a whole new engine.

Thanks Fabs

[GOT BOOST]

if your gonna be selling the car buy another engine complete with everything.(then dont let your mates drive it before you sell it) as for costing and rebuilt engine you'll have to speak to a workshop who specialises in building them.Or someone thats just had theirs done to the same extent.

[gtrken]

Have a rebuilder RB26 engine here with head complete, block complete and intake.

No injectors or exhaust manifolds.

$3K and needs a freshen only but that will still set you back around $3-4K

Cheers

Ken

[fane]

he has exhaust manis and injctors... what about turbos ken?
