Another 26/30 Build

[jangles]

Hi,

Ive started getting things together for a 26/30 build, much like huddy.

so far ive got the block and head

BLOCK

rb30 series 2 block

new welsch plugs

crack tested

boared and hoaned

new bearings

reground crank

new main seal

new water pump

new h beam conrods

arp main bolts

arp rod bolts

cp forged pistons

cp piston rings

rb25 oil pump

ATI Balancer

HEAD

GREX 264 9.15 cams,

ported,shimmed

not 100% on springs

external oil drain

im going to be using a surge slotted TO4Z with .84 housing, 44mm gate,

now i want this to have some power,400kw maybe.... obviously it wont be always tuned like that..

so i know ill need to upgrade the oil pump,

is there anything else you more experienced people can help with?

cheers, ill keep progress updated

oil restrictors?

i wouldnt even think about putting that engine in the car until it had a decent oil pump

why hasnt the block been decked? i wouldnt trust that surface to seal 100%

-Sell the cams, get something more suited

-Agreed with Shane

-What manifold will you use? ebay or something like a 6 boost? (I used ebay and it was fine, BTW a 44mm gate and to4z sounds awesome when its loaded up)

-Make sure the thrust on the crank is ok and that the crank is usable, there's SO many stuffed ones out there

What car is it going into?

Not sure why it hasnt been decked, but am going to get it done, i bought the block already built.

yeah will def have restrictors

what sort of cams would you suggest?

nah wouldnt bother putting it in just to pull it out to change oil pump, will be done before it goes in.

will be using a 6Boost manifold

what do you mean by making sure the thrust on the crank is ok?

to deck the block you will need to disassemble it

yeah i know, which sucks, but oh well, better to be safe than sorry

270's or 272s' with 10.25mm lift would be a good start - or even 280's. Get as much lift as you can. Dont forget springs aswel

Yes the thrust on the crank, it will be in a lot of trouble if you have a clutch with a big clamping pressure so get a clutch that matches what you want and isnt a heap of overkill

I learnt that lesson about not checking for end float Had to pull the engine out, cost me the crank machining, new set of mains and a new oil pump.

If it wasn't caught when it was, would have been up for a new block aswell

will have to make sure i get that checked out then.

im going to use my OS twin plate behind it,mainly because i already have it.

why do you suggest such large cams?

do you think the 264 wont be enough?

[=premo=]

Tomei oil pump is a must have for big power engines. (not that I can afford one, its just a suggestion)

You should probably start getting all the fittings and small stuff now because it can all stack up to big $$$ and you dont want to be buying crap hoses or belts because you already spent all your cash on the bigger expensive bits.

(Redline oil, bigger sump, high flow braided oil/water lines and fittings, second belt tensioner, quality silicon joiners and hose clamps, high tensile bolts for clutch, locking nuts for turbo, good turbo gaskets, high flow intake setup, breather system and catch can, etc).

Another thing you want to keep in mind is engine bay space, my RB30/26 with high mount T04z hits the cam cover on the strut brace and the turbo has 2mm to move before it hits the strut tower. This is in a R32 gts-t.

If you want 400rwkw's and you want it to last you have to be willing to spend some money.

yeah, i know, little things do add up,

im looking at one of the external pump set ups on here at the moment,

id rather do it right the first time
