Thinking About Going R30 Again

[paulmac]

gday just after some prices on turbo manifold, injectors, afm, ecu and intake plenum if all of this is needed if anyone can let me know some prices as loan will be approved within the next few days or so and im licenseless at the moment so got time and cash to work on it, if any one has anything they may be willing to part with let me know its not a certain thing just yet but if its all easily affordable and easy enough to put together i'm keen, cheers Paul

So you're not interested in finding an R30 itself but rather the gear required to make it turbo?

About the turbo gear, 280zx-t stuff can do but the turbo is a shitty one so you'd have to get an R33 one or something. That stuff is sorta rare anyways.

N/A

You'd be better off putting an RB30 into it instead, that should make an MR30 pretty fast. (lightness factor).

Or you could do the L28 idea.

Turbo

Otherwise I'd just look into buying an RB20det second hand or sometihng and putting that into it.

As far as R30's are concerned in Adelaide, there aren't too many good ones for sale unfortunately.

Yea I would say go with a RB20DET(depending on budget) as you have heaps of engine importers in OZ compared to NZ so prices probably get more competitive for RB's and geting R30 turbo stuff over there is hard to find aparently and allthough you can find all the parts cheap as hell in NZ (like less than $400 for all thats needed to turn a non turbo into a turbo one) but freight is the killer there!

yeah i might have to go with the newzealand idea, i was just trying to do the easiest conversion as i dont have alot of knowhow about engine conversions so if i went with an rb20det i'd prob just buy an r31 i got roughly a grand or so to purchase the turbo gear so the freight really isnt a problem if i can get it all for about $400 coz i dont think it would be anymore then $600 for freight would it?? and yeah blue dynamite i've heard their turbo's are shitty and nasty so i prob would have upgraded anyway got a few grand to spend ontop of everything else aswell im just trying to find out what the better option would be, and would prefer the l24et idea as there really isnt many in adelaide i know there has been atleast 2 that i've known of and prob a few more, still debating about other vehicles just trying to figure out what i want and whats suitable but im keen on the turbo charged l24e as that was my plans before but a pole had to ruin that fun

cheers Paul.
