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!!!

hey leave the VG30 brigade out of this...you will have Johnny P in here soon asking "did someone say boat?"

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?

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?

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
