Rb30de Na Power?

[LedZepLen]

Me and my buddy were talking trucks when we got thinking about how cool it would be to build a mid 80's Jeep with a 6" lift 35"x12.5"s. But for the powerplant having a well built rb30de with high compression and a bit of head work matted to a GTR 5sp.

What sorta reliable power could you get out of an rb30de on 91 octane pump gas and has many people tried this engine swap before?

Also. Is their a stroker kit for the RB30de engine?

with high compression

doubt anyone would try that combo.

91 octane and high compression wouldn't give you any sort of reliability, or power for that matter

Also. Is their a stroker kit for the RB30de engine?

the rb30de is already a larger capacity block/head combo, what do you want to stroke it to? 3100cc?

you can bore it out if you want; oversized pistons and shorter rods?

try a search; most of what you'd probably ask has been covered before.

this should give you a starting point; if it hasnt been covered then ask away

i had a mate that got a max of about 160kw out of a natro rb30e (not de). but it was far from what i would class as reliable. went like the clappers though. i think it ran a best of about 13.8 at willowbank.

go with an old nissan patrol that came with the carbied rb30e (GQ i think - late '80s)

then drop a gtr engine in it with a TO4Z

seen it been done b4 - and you can retain 4wd as the box bolts straight up

4wheel crab walking burnouts FTW!!!!!!

a dude on www.thecarscene.com has built one...

We've never had a vehical sold here with a RB engine in it. But we do have: internet, credit cards, welders, tourches (gas hatchet), and rednecks to get an RB powered machine. I almost wanna throw a garret gt28r turbo on it to make the build worth while and out do the v8's on the way to the trails and down gravel roads. I think i'd probably need to build my own front axle so the front drive shaft would fit and narrow a Ford 9" for an indestructable rear end. More or less it would cost quite a bit to do right and for no real advantage other then haveing a turbo offroad truck thats a 9500rpm turbo charged machine compared to a 4000rpm turbo deisel. If i wanted a build that made sense i'd just stroke a 302 to a 347 and have a no effort 300hp 400ftlb with some long tube headers and glass packs (Prince George exaust, haha) to show the ear drums who's boss.

O yea i'd be using glass packs (cherry bombs) for my mufflers with as little bends as possible. Has anyone heard an RB engine with a $20 glass pack?

Dont worry, my real car has a HKS Super Dragger exaust incase you just shit your pants at the words "$20 glass pack" in a Skyline forum. I would laugh so hard seeing any nice car (unless it's got a v8 which beggs fora cherry bomb) pull up with the big red open muffler sticking out the back.

GTS_143 on the R31 forums has a heavily modded RB30DE...

had his first major run on the dyno the otehr day 238rwhp/177rwkw with more room to improve, timing, cams, high octane fuels, etc etc.

yet to do a 1/4 mile on this setup, current time approx 14.2 @98mph @ 150rwkw.

That's awesome.

238 wheel hp from an RB30de

Man that would feel like such pure untainted power. If i had a non turbo RB30 powered street car it would be in a 280z with thoes old side draft carbs to give that bone chilling scream. I showed my buddy (same one who wants to do the RB30 Jeep) the service manual to my dads old Datsun 2000 because it showed exploded pictures and detailed pictures of the carbs and his jaw dropped at the site of the carbs and where they were mounted.

Or a old 86 Corrola with a 13:1 compression carbed RB30de, long tube equal length header with side exaust as a drift car.

I think i'm gonna halfto make a stock of thoes blocks over here because i can see allot of fun being made with $300 rb30 blocks on hand.

for a north american - ur almost worth coming over here buying about 20 rb30 blocks and ship them over to canada and then give them a clean up and 'make over' and sell them for around $300 US

you would make a killing (considering a long block here can cost as little as $50AUS and max $250AUS - and that prob with all ancillaries too)

Thats an awsome idea. Im wanting to get a dealers licence in the future so i can import cars from Japan or where ever and sell them here. Mostly so i can drive the cars in the stage between making DOT legal and having a buyer. I'd like to have a r33 GTR and make it an ultra high performance (800hp+) car with a getreg 6sp in it and then eventually my dream car the R34 gtr V spec Nur and get 600-800 from it. But we have a 15 year rule so my dream car is no less then 8 years away so buying and selling cars would be a good thing to do to get money to buy myself cars.

I absolutely love your idea and would be a worthwhile investment, plus i'd have a hell of a lot of skylines and 240's crusing the roads with the forbidden fruit of the North American auto industry under their hoods whopping big block ass. Not like i'd be owning them it's just knowing my babies are all grown up with big turbo(s) attached bullying unsuspecting cars would be a good thought laying in bed.
