Hey rb30det guys, is it possible to bore out the rb25 block and use rb30 rods and pistons to make an rb30det?

It has been done.

It requires modification of the rb30 crank (destroke), rb25/26 rods and custom pistons.

All though not optimal as the rods would experience greater side load and the piston pin height is bugger all.

But it has been done and appears to work well. I believe the bloke made some where up around 400rwkw and had 8000rpm on board. I'm curious as to how well its holding together some months down the track.

The bloke who did it I believe is mark99. He's in Adelaide.

Hey guys I'm building up a rb30det, I'm ready to start bolting it together just need a head gasket and an oil pump.

What head gasket do you guys recomend, How much and where can i get it? I was looking at a Cometic 1.2 mm metal on this site on a traders forum but now i cant find it again :laugh:

And whats the diferance between the GTR and GTR N1 oil pumps? Is it worth spending a little extra on the N1 pump and why? Also where can i buy one i been told $410 from this site?

N1 pumps for $410

We blew our rb30det :sick: Im pretty confident the n1 oil pump has either rattled apart or the gear has cracked. Will know later in the week when its all pulled down. Its a sad sad day, hopefully its not as bad as it sounds, but she is ceased up completely so im expecting it to be almost totally screwed.

ouch, ouch, ouch... really sorry to hear that. :sick: Plus it makes me nervous...

Very interested to hear if its related to N1 breakage...

I dont know at the moment....Depends on what caused it. But either a brand name one or perhaps a dry sump setup which would be nice. Saturday was the most expensive day of racing weve had so far haha.

How many k's had it done?

I'm fairly nervous with my pump.

No crank collar and its clocked up some where around ~45000km's.

I went the std rb25det pump as I remember at the time my thinking was the N1 pump with its higher relief will place greater pressure on the small crank drive.

Just pure bad luck R33_racer.. :D

Are you running an ATI balancer?

yup...but our car gets thrashed more then a street car would....all day at the track its at or near the max. Yeh we are actually, thats where im lost. I made sure we took almost every precaution available to make sure this wouldnt happen. Collar, everything balanced and ati damper. But we didnt loctite the backing plate bolts in or anything like that, we just bolted it up and left it assuming it was right from factory....so i think thats our mistake unless its a fault with the pump itself.

Im not 100% sure if he does. I think i remember a thread from ages ago where he said he made his own dry sump setup from second hand bits for cheap which they ran on one of the cars. not sure if it was his or another one. Would be interesting if it was on one of the rb30dets. hopefully he will come and explain it to us :D

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
