WOW Dirtygarage you are amazing and if anyone didn't already know it I'm sure you'll start a thread telling them how amazing you are. As per usual you'll build a RB30 redesign the wheel in doing so then crow how great it is and expect all to forget how much in the past you've bagged them as they are a forklift motor.

I would have said something more along the lines of a BOAT motor the way them vl's dirve!!!

Oops shit Paul, Sorry haha we wouldnt want that now!

Andrew you mean the RPMGTR thread :)

Hey Steve, dont think it was race pace. Rhemac was the one i think

My RB30DET with a totally stock rb25 head, cams are stock as well. no mods no port jobs nothing makes full power by 3700rpm and it does not drop off all the way to red line.

Can you get a RB26 to have a flat power curve like this? if so.. show me.

There was also a mark99 here in SA that built an RB29 using an rb26 block, slightly destroked rb30 crank, forged rods and custom low pin height pistons.

Rev'd to 8.5k and made some awesome power. There's a dyno sheet laying around some where that was posted.

The rod angles are of concern but it has held together without any issues so it may be a moot point.

Something else to add to the fire with your rb30 boys..

rb30 block with rb26 crank... There was a post on here a while back from an engine shop down south! dig that up it had some pretty nice looking results!

Since rb30 and rb26 both have the same bore, wouldn't a rb30 block with a rb26 crank just be... a rb26?

Wow :banana:

yes. anyone heard of the hks "hi-deck"....albeit 2.8L

have a search on gtr.co.uk/forum dave, i remember seeing atleast 1 setup on there.

but form what i recall its like the kakimoto hi-deck where its a compression deck with liners

Bottom end first

But yes, I will take you up on your offer from that call

Everyone knows that big cams get the chicks Steve-o

I didn't know you liked doing the bottom end first still, i thought therapy fixed that? ... Zing

Throw away the little ones and put in the 280's.

I want to get rid of them :banana:

I don't know why people are so afraid of spending the money on a big head job :s

Selling 2 kidneys is not advised.

Would be better to throw the money at developing a new block.

A good head job is always the most satisfying way to 'blow' your cash.

PM me a price on the 280's Aaron...i might take them.

Thats an unfair advantage Guilt-Tripper...you tuned it!

Coming right up Sir Boost Alot

nope, rb30 block is taller by 38mm

Wouldn't that completely mess up the compression ratio's then? I'm still trying to get my head around how it would actually work, putting a rb26 crank into a rb30. The block is taller, yes, but doesn't that mean your going to run into problems because the rb26 crank will still have the same travel, even when its put into the rb30

Not too far of the mark

overall terms, your graph is flatter for a section, this one comes up a bit smoother

Do you have a larger pic of the graph for km/h and/or RPM to look at?

A good head job is always the most satisfying way to 'blow' your cash.

I see what you're saying now; if you 'blow' your cash -presumably a 'wad' of it or at least the cost of a good 'pearl necklace'- on a good RB26 head job you can't 'come' at or 'swallow' the idea of the RB30 being better, and suggest that anyone who thinks otherwise is being 'sucked in'.

Have I got that right?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
