hi, im finding it hard to get someone to build my rb30det. Alot of mechanics i have heard good things about are to busy and have up to a six month wait!!! so could anyone recommend anyone who i could get to build this motor?

I already have the rb25 head, 30 bottom end, forged pistons, rings, revs h beam rods, turbo and some other little things, i want it to be capable of producing over 500hp, so i need some who really knows what they are doing, so any sugestions would be much appreciated.

thanks

you are a bad man!!!

BTW, before i forget just wanted to let you know there is an Oran Park GP track day on 5th of March. It will be awesome, small numbers, lots of track time and pro instructors too if wanted. if you want to come along just pm me.

Do you want the engine built and you (or someone else) fits it to the car?

Or do you want it built and fitted?

If you just want a machine shop to build the engine I may be able to help, PM me for details.

:D cheers :)

MRC @ castle hill, used to work at UAS to

Had a VL with somthing like 430HP @ the wheels, rb30 with 25 head.

Also rebuild my RB30DET putting out 330HP @ the wheels with a shitty auto box.

Ah, I know Mark - nice guy and great mechanic

If the recommendation came from someone like Mark then go for it :D

Yes, great mech.

Like i said, got him to rebuild by RB30det when it blew, it was due for it. Was running 17PSI with stock internals apart from a cam with 235K's on the clock. one day while driving my gear box f#cked up and the car just reved out as the rev cut was not set on the microtech. Then came the smoke, HAHA.

Got it rebuilt with tomei head gasket, arias pistons etc...

mark now owns a couple of XR6's, one turbo putting out arround 3XXkw @RW

Anyho....

BLITZ- a guy who was a mechanic for rick shaw, he seems to know what he is talking about

plus ive heard of people making big reliable power and still using standard rods, and you would think REV would be better then stock rods!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
