Lifespan on RB engines?

[Raging Demon]

How long do they last? Could you post how much you've clocked on your RB engine?

Cheers

[Guerilla]

The highest i have seen is 130,000. Im sure they will go alot higher.

[MR R32]

My R32 has 135 000kms and goes like a dream...

[T88 ON BOARD]

It all matters on how the car has been driven/ What mods/Service on time etc...

I would say alot more that 150 000km

[Tommyk]

Im gonna go and say about 300k

My mate has an aussie built R31, its at 380,000 and still going! It has an RB30E.

There was a similar thread on SDU not long ago -

the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long!

i think that came out of the movie bladerunner? pardon me - i just had to say it

You carn't predict the lifespan of an enigne. As others have said its how you drive/look after it and what modification's are done.

eg: Fairly Modified RB26 - could last 80,000ks or could last 180,000 depends on what you do to it.

Stock GTR, RB26 is nearly impossible to kill & will last for ages if you look after it. - meaning stock boost aswel.

Even a highly modded motor can last ages.

provided its looked after

I've had 2 rb30E

Australian build R31's both of them had over 350,000 and still were going strong.

[Driver]

pret sure theres some r33's and r32s on here with close to or more than 200k

[G0DF4Th3R]

i know ppl with RB25DETs going close to 200ks and RB26s with 200,000ks..

original engine, no rebuilds

maintenance and power levels do make a difference i guess

[R32Skyliner]

My RB20DET has done 145K and possibly more as it's been recently imported. Still running well, smooth as.

[666DAN]

My Neo has done 100K N/A and 48K boosted....148K for those maths whizzes

[RB30-POWER]

I've dragged this from an article on the VL commodore.

Nissan's 3.0-litre six was a jewel of an engine, engineered for a 400,000 km life and offering a third more power from 10 per cent less capacity while using 15 per cent less low octane unleaded, compared to Holden's old 3.3-litre six on high octane leaded fuel.  

If the RB30 was suppose to have a 400k life, you would think the other RB engines would be the same.

I have no doubt, any RB engine bottom end will do over 400k if left at stock power levels.

I have pulled down RB30's with over 300k and they still have hone marks.

They are great engines, well over-engineered.

theres alot of VL Turbos with high kms, theyre still going

[AzzurrA]

My RB20 is coming up to 170,000km
