Rb30 Crank In Rb26 Block

[Roy]

I mam with you Raysboostin...it was a long while ago when i checked up, but irrespective of the head you put on the car and the emmission gear you run, use an RB30 bottom end and that means you have to have the SOHC head, Holden or Nissan ECU and NA or the RB30ET from the VL in order to comply with the emmissions for that engine. You deviate from set recipe then whats coming out the tailpipe can be called into question.

An RB26/30 is nether an RB26, or an RB30. Unless you are running the std ECU which means the engine complies with the emmissions tests that were completed to get import approval/compliance for that range of car...then most (the two i spoke with anyway) engineers will ask that your car undergo the expensive emissions testing to verify the hybrid engine.

This is why the APS kits cost so much money as their WRX, 200SX and TT 350Z kits are all complied and meet the emission requirements.

Of course there are probably those that have been given different advice, or have had different experiences....but just pointing out that you are not the only one that was given the above advice

the great thing about NSW is that the emissions testing is not expensive, you just have to get a tuner that will tune the car to meet the test requirements.

yeah its hard to explain the idea of a hybrid 26/30 to a guy at a government desk that knows nothing but whats on the screen in front of him. so they try to get ur hybrid to go through all the testing a new car goes through. and that is damned expensive!! i had a similar drama when it came to upgrading the brakes on my old commo. even though upgrading from vn brakes to vt is a huge improvement they still wanted me to get my car to pass braking and crash tests!!! so i got an adr compliant kit instead

Luckily here in vic now they out source EPA testing (so its cheaper) and remaping std GTR ecu's even with 30 bottom ends to pass is a piece of piss...
