    Boost And Rpm On Stock Rb30 Bottom End

    The fact that you had deto and blew up shows lack of a decent tune. No engine tuner should have let that car go out with a lack of fuel delivery.

    The forged pistons will not stop deto but they will handle it for a bit longer before putting you back in the same situation.

    i agree 100% with you and the fact that my engine was left on lean was cuz of limited coin and was a slapper. this next build will be a smarter approach. I HOPE :)

    its all in the tune alrite, i was running a garret 35/40 .82 rear with 560cc injectors (evo's i think) with haltech and 500hp walbro external pump.. it made just over 300kw and was at 17psi.. and lasted 3000kms before detonating and breaking 3 pistons. its bcuz it ran a bit lean after 6000rpm because the fuel pump couldnt handle the jandle. so i suggest u make sure it has a good air and fuel ratio mixture , upgrade anything that needs upgrading for it to run good. that was my mistake :<

    my 2c's anyway

    Now its forgie time for me baby! :)

    Hey! appreciating all the input guys, yesterday i was talking to my workshop who built my 1st car and said he can provide me with a reliable 550hp RB30DET for just a nudge over 5k, he explained he'd bore the block, new bearings, gaskets, belts, rebuilt Turbonetics or Garrett turbo and Haltech ecu tuned. So im deciding on the weither to take him up on the offer??

    To be honest im pretty excited about this, as i have never driven a car with more that 400hp.

    I WILL KEEP YOU PEEPS POSTED :D !

    P.s. why dont you people ever go on about how 280kw or more feels in a car, i would like to know Thank you very muchus

    Hey guys, newb here again. Ive got 5k and im wanting to build a reliable rb30 for my 21st :) and i need your guys help. My car has already set-up for drift with a cage etc and everything to get it sideways but its time to get more power and improve my skill.

    As far as i know rb30 blocks can be bought for around 150$, and i already am running an rb25det in my r32, of which i can submit parts of to my rb30, ive talk to a few shops which say this can be done, but like my past experience it helps to get knowledge of people who have gone down this track.

    Any help would be more than appreciated P.S. I want a mean 21st present :(, so please help ;)

    IMO get rid of the waterlines, i dont see a point for them, when there's hot water running through them all the time.

    As for where it ends up is behind the intake manifold, undo the 2 bolts on the head, if the hose doesnt come off you can always chop a bit hoes off, rust normally cramps it and its hard to remove.

    when i did mine, the powersteering was different, might not be the case for you. i just unbolted the mounts of the rb20 and bolt em to the 25, saves you removing the powersteering and lines etc etc. and using rb25 belt :P works mint. And yea i got my loom done here in nz for 350$ mint ae :P

    Hope you haven't bent a valve when clamping the head back down. How much compression is "missing" (compared to other cylinders)?

    Have you isolated which cylinder is running crappy? have you checked that you haven't bent a pin in one of the coil pack connections?

    Thanks for your reply. Um all the coipacks are mint as ae. And its the 1st cylinder from the radiator side.

    I did a 'quick compression test' without a compression tester valve by jst feeling how much compression there was in all cylinders by placing my hand over them, and i could definently feel a huge drop in the one cylinder compared to the rest.

    It could be a valve, how do i be sure of it though?

    Thanks Tom

    hey guys im after a solution for my rb20

    we replaced a blown head gasket a few nights ago and placed everything back on the engine, turned it on and all of a sudden its idling weird. We know that the timings out but that can be fixed. We had checked everything before it went back on. The plugs, coils, torque settings, camshaft placement etc, etc. Unfortunately after a quick compression test, my mate found out that the front bore wasnt getting enough compression. What could it be? Has anybody had the same problem before, i cant afford to take it into an mechanic atm? Soo please help :huh:

    Cheers Tom
