hint search first then ask questions

you would have found heaps of stuff under the classic skyline section

[nugget666]

is it stock...? do some ehxaust/headers/ intake mods

[Eug]

you'll need an RB25 head

[NateR31]

drop in a silvertop rb20

or if you have a lil more money to spend, a rb25et

dont bother with the rb30e, it sucks

1. Turbo it using VLT parts.

2. Supercharge it.

3. Put in a VLT motor.

4. Put in a Rb20 red/silver

5. Put in a Rb25.

They are the most common ones and arent *that* expencive.

i have heard that you can also fit rb20de heads.. i saw one on the NZ trademe auction site. you could put a lumpy cam in if you want to keep it single cam. but going twin cam will give you a good increase in power and it will pull higher up in the rpms

i suggest you get the bores checkd out when you take the head off. you could spend the $$ and get it rebuilt then you would know its reliable

rb20 head also fits, but its a mission apparently - alot of work required and not worth it. (there's a few threads in the forced induction section having arguements about the pros/cons of an RB20 head)

[Br4nchi3]

Most of the R31 guys have either put a VLT kit on their engine or swapped for an RB20det, and RB30e isnt a shit engine.

[slow_r31]

don't fit a rb20det, whatever u do.

if your poor just basic mods to the rb30, exahust, extractors, twin tb/xf throttle body, intake, should see a couple more kw's.

if u got money, bolt on a vl-t conversion, or drop in a rb25det, don't waste your money on a rb20det.

175,000k's is NOTHING on rb30e, it will be hardly even run in yet

[Beer Baron]

yep, it's just getting nicely run in and ready for some burnout. RB30 is tops. twin cam head will make it even better. or the VLT turbo gear would be good fun too.

[BreathLess]

yep the cheapest mods to would be the to turbo the motor or twin cam the motor.

well i think they would. But i willing to b proven wrong :lol:

pod filter??

haha, have a look on R31 skyline club. from what ive been told by a few people, is that when you put on the stock VLT kit, its nothing special at all compared to the NA Rb30 with some basic work done to it. id say make it a na monster or put in a 20/25.

there are so many possibilities and the potential is enormus, depends on what you want from the car!

[Baz]

RB20's would work fine in one.

R31's are lighter than R32's and look how many high powered R32's there are around running RB20's. Just consider the price difference between a 20 and 25 and that should decide you decision

[Josh]

Not cheap but - 26 head, twin turbo.... nice....

20 heads have crap flow compared to 25/26 heads, same with 25DE heads...
