i'd like to use the RB20 plenum too for the "stock" look

along with the RB20 cam valley/ignitor cover

Nissan 2000 24 valve :) :)

can the RB30t water and oil pumps be used? would these be better than the 25t pumps ?

also if i had a bare block RB30 where would i fit idlers and tensioners? what sort of $$$ are they worth ?

*bring back the old thread :) *

  • 4 weeks later...

I saw a article in zoom where they had a worked RB26 with cams and huge turbos etc, they then changed over to a RB30 bottom end. Thats all they did, plus a re tune. They left all the other hardware in place. So it is a good scientific example because the only variable that changed was the bottom end.

The engine did not just get some more bottom end grunt. It got more bottom end and shit loads more max power as well, all at the same boost levels.

So engine analyzer programs aside, in real terms the RB30 conversion will shit on the smaller bottom end in power and torque. Sure, it won't rev to 10,000 RPM but it won't need to becuse it will out power the smaller engine at much lower revs.

Nope, nothing different cept bottom end not even boost.

I dunno on the dyno it had fullboost when being held at 2300rpm

On the road i really couldnt tell you as i wasnt watching judging by torque its pretty much full boost at 3000rpm in ramp mode.

4th gear is roughly 35 rpm to every 1 kph i believe

depends on the tyres u are running.. :mad:

I can see how a 4.11 is pretty much required for a RB30.

If 1kph = 35rpm the RB25 made peak power around 6000rpm and the RB30 made peak power around 5200-5300rpm.. That doesn't sound right. Unless the RPM is out 500-600rpm.

Doesn't the RB25 make peak power around 6500rpm?

If that assumption was correct then the RB30 would be making peak power close to 6000rpm which is what i've heard previously.

So what did you have done to the short motor?

Forged pistons etc?

JNR24 I think he is talking about the RB20 Turbo oil pump?!?!

If so that will fit and flow enough.

The R33 GTR + oil pump requires an Adaptor.

The R32 GTR pump fits but apparently has problems with some thing cracking.

The cracking maybe due to rev's however so it may not be a problem with the R32 GTR pump on the RB30.

?!?!? Unless I am wrong.

Joel - when you just increase the capacity of the motor without increasing the volume of air going to it, the point of peak power will move lower... That's why you need a bigger cams, valves, turbo's, etc to make the most of a 3ltr motor.

But for a street/track car - that torque curve and power curve are ideal!

The NA RB25DE Cams are supposed to be slightly more aggressive compared to the RB25DET cams, not to sure but thats what JMS said?

Sounds good Matt. You can definately see on Raists power curve where the flow restriction begins.

That power dip will be slightly associated with tuning.

    • 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"
