Im thinking of just rebuilding my block at the end of the year using a RB30 bottum end.

My questions are,

Can I use a gtr crank and rods?

Can I build the motor and retune the standard ecu to suit the new block?

Approx price, can i sell my orginal bottum end?

I plan to build the block with forged pistons and a decent headgasket, I will do all the bolt ons at a later time.

I want to do it in stages,

And suggestions would be great!

Thanks in advance

Its costs around $8000-10,000 to do a 3ltr bottom end.

Being you need a special crank made from unobtainium... thats if you are going to rev it past 8000rpm of course.

If your not, then you only need a crank made of aluminium. Which is cheaper and easy to come by

But... who wouldnt wanna rev it that high >_<

It sounds sweet @ 9000rpm i tell ya.

Best get onto google, you can get em from the states if i recall

yeh bout 10k to build a 3L block, i dont think theres any need to rev past 8k mine is limited to 7800 and makes plenty power at that, plus the 3L will make a bigger turbo less laggy as well as having good low down torque

my crank has only been machined and balanced

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
