Hey all,

Look i'm thinking about buying an RB30 DET complete for my R32 and need some questions answered if possible, so here goes:

#If the 25 head has VCT can i put adjustable cam gears on instead and remove the VCT altogether

#Will my sensors off the RB20 fit onto the RB30 as i've already got a Power FC and want a straight swap

#Do the VCT 25 heads use an igniter like my 20 or is it a coil setup only

#Would a Z32 airflow meter be sufficient for a basic tune on an RB30

Also if anyone out there has done this before and knows some of the pitfalls to look out for can you please drop me a line asap, would be greatly appreciated.

Without being an expert on the subject, I am quite sure of the following:

# Fitting adjustable CAM gears to the motor will basically disable VCT(for want of better words);

# The sensors are different, not sure of how much work is required for the PFC install;

# Coils;

# Z32 should be more than sufficient for a basic tune.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers.

First off we have a thread just for the RB30DET Conversion there has been like 10 threads started in the past week in FI asking questions that are probably already covered in the RB30DET thread and if you want to ask more about them you will probably get better responses there anyway!

If you want to run without VCT then you should be looking into getting an R32 RB25DE head as they are so easy to do the conversion with especially into the 32.

I think the coil setup is the same and a Z32 will be more than sufficient for a "basic" tune

Cheers,

Dan

Dude... the questions you ask are really just general search/answer type ones.

And if your *really* stuck, you can read the RB30 thread.

No idea whats going on but the past 3 weeks we've seen too many "3ltr" threads when there is a whole world of information devoted to it already.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
