I am pretty sure nothing needs to be changed, you may need lower mounts as the rb30 bottom i think is 38mm bigger. I am also sure rb25 pistons will fit but may not be the best option you should go with, forged pistons will definently be the best option.

Aftermarket ECU is a must have and with a dyno tune you should be set mate.

this is exactly what im going to be doing, but i will be smacking GT35R on the side of mine :(

The neo head has slightly smaller combustion chambers than the normal rb25/26 head, its somewhere around the 60cc per pot compared to 64ish cc in the normal head. This makes quite a bit of difference to the CR.

With the na rb30 pistons, a deck block, thin hg and the neo head, that would have to net around the 10:1 if not higher. I think the na rb25 pistons might be a tad too much but just grab one of the online CR calculators and start plugging in numbers and you'll see what you'll need. I havent really looked that much into the na side of things since will be going the turbo route, but with mine acl rb30et pistons, neo head, decked block and a 1mm hg will get around the 8.5-9.0 CR mark. Obviously with the na route you would want much more than that

if you are using the neo head and want a high compression turbo motor (RB30DET), grab the flat top CP pistons that spool sell in his kit for the normal rb25/30. Depending how you set up the motor, you'll get anywhere from 9.0 to 10:1 CR, i doubt you'll want more than that

I want mine around the 8.8 mark, still responsive but will still like some boost :)

Im aiming to run everything as standard just with the 30 bottom end and 25 pistons switched. Then a safc will prob do for the extra fuel. Wat machining is required? and do i need a better oil pump than the vL one?

You will need water pump collar and to relocate a pulley.

Google "RB30DET" and .pdf. there is an awsome file out there.

i'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume you meant oil pump collar instead, but thats only if he uses a widenose gtr pump :D

Edited by R34GTFOUR

if its going to be a daily the rb25 pump will do the trick, you wont need the crank collar sine the rb25 runs a narrow nose crank like the rb30

If you are going to spend abit of $$ on the conversion and track it abit, an upgraded oil pump is good insurance

before this goes any further, and before a motor blows up

a neo head has a smaller chamber, ive measured them between 52 & 55ccs

in the tech section there is a simple maths formular i wrote up to work out your actual compression ratio, guessing = problem waiting to happen

flat tops with neo head estimated around 9:1 static

So as OP posted what kind of compression it will reach Neo head and 30 block, couldn't find the answer and really bad in calculating compression I am looking around 11 for my NA setup

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
