So what would need to be done to build an RB30E block to take an RB25DET Neo head?

The car inquestion is a 5spd stagea RB25DET Neo, running perfectly fine, and looking to rebuild it, seeing as how RB30 blocks arent hard to come buy i figure i'l do it properly and start from the bottom up.

The idea im hoping for is to drive the car around as is, while building up the 30 bottom end. Then, once its built, basically remove the manifolds from the Neo in the car, pull the engine out sans gearbox, remove the 25 head, mate it to the 30 block, change to a stainless turbo manifold while its out, put it back in and tune it via R33GTsT Power FC.

Basically, id like to build it so no modifications need to be done to the head in order to mate them together. Build the bottom end to suit the top. What should be my reccommended shopping lis, from those who have done it?

Is this feasible? The stock Neo runs about 190-200kW? Im aiming to end up with about 350+ from this combo, using a larger turbo, injectors, pump, regulator, cams, and any other supporting mods i may need.

I have read through a few pages of dyno results from hybrid engines, as well as the 300 page thread that started of about pistons.

refer to the RB30 conversion thread; has all the answers you need ;)

Having said that, you'll need to marry the gtr style sump to the rb30 block.

It may be easier to buy a blown rb26 and build that up slowly.

As mentioned, i read through a lot of it and its hard to get a solid list from SIX THOUSAND POSTS due to its just a whole lot of different peoples suggestions and parts of their combos. Cant just take a bit from one engine and a bit from another, can i. Plus, its 6000 posts, did i mention that?

Im after info from those who have done the conversion, from start to finish. Otherwise it gets a bit jumbled using different bits from different peoples opinions, and things dont match up very well when you do that.

Yeah, there is a "in thread" search button.

Have a crack at using that.

Also the 3ltr for a GTR applies to you (except the head, thats covered in the R33/3ltr thread)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...on-t106224.html

So have a read of that also.

Everything you've asked i know is covered in the two threads as ive read it all ;)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
