i also just noticed that you said its a rb30et bottom end, if thats true then having a turbo bottom end with that head i possibly think could be worse than a bog stock rb20, i know its a big call but i think you could've wasted the little money you spent!

They have different compression pistons.

cheers, andrew!

Rb30et is 7:8:1 and rb30e is 9:0:1, he said he didn't touch the bottom end so that leads me to believe he is going to be a tad dissappointed with what he has!

the rb30 et block has oil squirters to cool the pistons.. the rb30 e does not.

Where did you hear this culater?

I've seen both a turbo and n/a block and they were identical apart from the pistons.

I bought the n/a one sitting next to it for $150.

I remember it was mentioned some time ago by some one who confused the bore/rod squirters or what ever they are called with the piston crown oil squirters.

The bore/rod squirters squirt oil on to the load side of the bore.

Not sure of the exact terminology.

the rb20 head has a smaller chamber but has been cc d it also has the turbo et bottem end so it should not be 7.8.1 it should work out around the 8.5 -9.0.1 witch should be great just gotta finish painting my bay then motor goes in and car goes down to boostworks

: >_< I'm afraid you've got it round the wrong way buddy, having the turbo bottom end with the turbo pistons will lower your compression, not raise it. I'd be guessing somewhere round the 7:1 mark which should be interesting to say the least!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
