There's some guy on calaisturbo trying to flog off an N/A Rb25 head if people are looking, he only wants a few hundred dollars for it!

gday i am wondering what sort of prices engine machining cost to you guys when undertaking the rb30 conversion namely acid bath, bore, honing, decking, and grind and balance crank

Quick simple question, didnt want to cramp this thread but wasnt sure where to ask:

Are these these RB25DET transmission supports suitable for the RB30 block?

If so, can I pull them off any RB30 powered car at the wreckers?

I seem to be missing them.

I think you will need to use the RB30 gearbox supports.

The R32 RB20DET Transmission supports are suitable for the RB30 -> RB20DET/RB25DET gearbox.

Hows your little monster coming along Ben? :P

Bu5ter is running 272duration cams in his RB30DET, the same as you I believe?

I've noticed several people are running Mitsubishi TD06-20g's and pushing ~250RWKW+ on ~1 bar - what are the specs on these things like? Im guessing they are rather large?

Seeing as people are running as high as 270RWKW on internally stock RB25DETs, what are thoughts on similar power outputs on RB30DETs?

Im also curious as to the limits of an internally stock bottom-end.

Im looking at getting the head ported, I have some RB26 valve springs to go in, maybe some bigger cams, stock exhaust manifold (sandblasted/beadblasted?) and then a decent exhaust.

Turbo wise im thinking perhaps GT30R with .63 A/R?

Either that or spend the dollars on forged pistons and rods, and go a GT3540R with .82 A/R?

I have a 0.82 GT3040R in my DET. Currently running only 9 - 10psi but this is reached at 2600rpm. It still feels like it's pulling well at 6000rpm. Excellent street turbo methinks :)

What RPM does it start to make boost?

I take it your running in the engine, but have you ran anymore boost than 10psi, im interested to know what RPM it can make 15psi, and 20psi at?

Starts to make boost somewhere around 1700rpm from memory.

Engine has been in and running for 12 months now. I've had a few teething problems though - internal fuel pump was shagged, some sort of restriction in the return line inside the tank (it's in a VL), cooler pipes popping off, too much oil fed to the head, cam timing out, lack of cash, etc......

so no i haven't ran anymore than 10psi through it. They are all sorted now, i just need to dyno it again.

Manifold is a stock RB20DET unit. I made an adapter which 1) serves to position the turbo in the stock position and 2) mounts the external 48mm ProGate. On the last dyno session this adapter got red hot and started spitting little flames off it. At the same time power dropped off and the engine temp went through the roof. I found that both cams were aboout 7 to degrees retarded! This was the result of my cam tensioner positioning.

stupid non-OEM belt setups! :)

what did you do wrong? i'm afraid mine will be a fair whack out too, you just can't tell with any degree of accuracy. the inlet cam appears spot on, but the exhaust cam looks a little advanced on mine, doesn't line up perfectly with the spot on the timing backing plate. might be a good idea to get an adjustable gear there i reckon.....

What trans you running in your car Auto/ Maanual??

How did you fix your cam timing?

I ran 2 adjustable tensioners... Adjustables new are so much cheaper than fixed.

so did i, but only because i had easy access to two from a few RB30 blocks i had lying around :blink:

when i get my manifold back off my mate, i'll bolt the plenum, turbo and manifold on and post some pics up for ya.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
