The bore is the same for the Rb25, 26 and 30. The diff is the stroke between the three.

It is posible. The rb30 Crank is nitred. I remeber reading something about the rb25 geodgen pins sitting higher (hence lower CR) than on the rb30 pistons. You could use all the rb30 internals in the block. Not sure about this. But definately worth looking into.

There are stroker kits available.. but for stupid amounts of money! And for turbo applications..

Pretty much the easiest, cheapest and best is to just do an RB30DE conversion. Its not a bad NA conversion for all of ~$500 or ~$1200 if you want a good basis for a solid NA car..

Thats my plans.. Run down on pg 2

Can someone shed some light on if it is possible to put RB30 Internals into an RB25 block?.. Saves A SHITLOAD of work for me.. Its an interesting option. Saves me the legalities of swapping from a 2.5 to 3L, front diff adaptor, VCT piping, timing belt, relocation of pullies..

lol.. sorry for hijacking your thread.. but its an interesting prospect!

np u can hijack.........person i was speaking to wasnt sure if the 30 rods or 26 had to be used,

i have to get in contact with hioctaneracing andget actual details. As u said it saves the hassle of blue slips and stuff that would be required with the engine swap, was considering supercharging it so it would be an Rb28des..............food for thought!!!

If you want to increase Capacity, as before, RB30DE is the easiest.

You can use the whole rb30 bottom end, crank, rods etc. etc.

There is a .pdf file floating around, I can send you it if needed. Its a clear and simple build of an RB30DET. Which can easily be used to make an RB30DE

Just a thought, If you use an RB30 crank, rb25 rods and pistons, and you get a 2.8L.. the other 200cc's must be atributed to the rb25 geodgen pin sits higher towards the top of the piston compaired to the rb30 which sits further away from the face of the piston?

I dunno.. just an idea.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
