I would presume the stock rb30 pump should be ok with stock restrictors.

I remember some one on ct.com had issues with pressure bleeding off on idle with the rb30e pump. Unsure if it was a stuffed bottom end, pump etc.

Wouldn't use an idler. Use 2 x tensioners.

someone on here also had issues when they reused the stock RB30 oil pump, had to replace it with a twin cam one.

alright sweet..... hmmmm

should be okay to just use the stock rb30 tensioner and the tensioner off my rb20 aswell....

sweeet as chhheeeers for all the help

why not replace the old tensioners? you should be able to pickup two brand new ones for sub $100.

yeah i was just thinking that.. i remember hearing tensionsers are f**k all any ways..

when i order thermostat head gasket water pump and now two tensioners :banana:

was their somthing i red in this thread about series one rb25 oil pump works fine without the collar.. as its the same length on the series one rb25 crank???

any confirmation?

does anyone know max recomened boost and max rwkw on stock bottom end?? (new rings, bearings and a hone)

like with stock rods and pistons..??

heard of guys going over 300rwkw on stock na pistons and rods.....

:worship:

got qoute for $1800 for acl race series bearings, new rings, crank collar supplied and fitted and all new welch plugs and seals

is that the average kinda price range for that work to be done

cheers

has anyone got the torque specs for stock rb25 head bolts? can these bolts be reused? how much is a new set if they cant?

this is a super budget build for abit of fun, i dont care if it doesnt last ages, i dont wanna spend money if i dont have to, limiting the power to 400hp anyway so shouldnt be too much stress. :whistling:

you can re-use them, but i dont know the torque specs off the top of my head, someone else will probably chime in :D

although ARP head studs arent all that expensive

thanks guys great help, i got hold of some second hand rb25 bolts yesterday for $20 so ill see if they last, if not i dont care ill just get some new ones.

the motors coming together nicely now, its a basic setup using a stock rb30 bottom end that i bought from a mate for $50, pity it was a s1 block :P

The block has been recond as it has acl main bearings and NDC rod bearings, these are stamped with what i beleive to be the date they were made and it says 1998 so its still fairly old, hopefully they last a while. I had to tap the water feed for turbo, and drill out the oil feed line as well. I then got the machine shop to deck the block and wash it and tap the oil drain for turbo as well all for $100. I bought the front and rear crank seals for $16 for both, and a dayco timing belt for $31. I decided i didnt wanna tap the head bolt holes for rb26 bolts as the plan is to chuck in stock bottom ends if this blows up and i dont want to have to retap bolt holes everytime i buy a bottom end. So the plan is to use some stock rb25 headbolts as mentioned. I bought 2 mig welder tips for $1 each and used a 1.5mm one in one feed and the other one i welded the hole up and put in the other feed, worked perfect.

I bought a low comp rb26 complete a while ago, i removed the head for this project and had the head decked and valve seats recut as the motor had been detonating and the seats were shocking condition. I chucked in some new valve stem seals and the valve guides looked brand new and were within specs.

I am putting this into a 32 gtr running rwd (using the rb30 sump) and machined off front axles, plus either a gtr box with removed tf case or a rb25 box. I have bought a t3 flanged high mount manifold for $200 from a mate, its a steampipe design and looks great, definately got a bargain, it was used on a rb26 with gt3540 xr6 turbo internal gate turbo, so i need to add an external gate pipe on it or run an internal gate turbo.

I think a gt3076r is my number one turbo option, i have the injectors, ecu, fuel system all sorted from my current setup and hoping to push around 400rwhp, the gtr is stripped out and should be at 1250kg or just under with the 4wd stuff removed and totally stripped.

Why? :S

Finally got it tuned!!!! Feels really nice to drive

Unfortunately maxed out the Z32 for some unknown reason so couldnt go any further as i only had 2 hours of tuning available on the dyno with DrDrift

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what this works out to be in NM?

Posted up the full setup and other graphs in the dyno thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4082856

Strange you max'd it out at 255rwkw. Mines pushing ~5volts at 302rwkw.

Boost leak?

Thats what im hoping! Couldn't find an odious one but i will do some detective work next weekend

A mate of mine has a bung and compressor so I will pressurize and see what we can come up with...

Nice work Brad and Dan! hopefully I have some big number to post soon :)

:thumbsup:

Finally fired the new machine into life with a slightly strange situation, Im running N1 pump, 26 head with 2 x 1mm restrictors. The strange part is I have fitted a mechanical autometer oil pressure gauge off the main gallery where the original RB30 oil pressure sender screw into & it gradually goes off the chart to 100psi at idle..... Im running 15/40 shell helix mineral oil, the std oil pressure gauge on the dash reads about 3/4. Not sure if I have an issue with the oil thickness or a bodgy gauge....

Anyone else had this?

I havnt fully warmed it up yet as still fitting the wideband sensor & want to make sure all is good

Cheers, Matt

Why? :S

because i can :( nah its because i want a cheap setup for drifting and then i have the 560hp at wheels rb26 engine for proper track work and a ppg dogbox, i will swap between the 2 setups in the gtr :P im trying to save weight with the 30 setup as its gonna be limited to 400hp and it will pretty much be like a gtst setup drivetrain wise with this engine.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
