ey fellas

need some advice, i wanna build a hybrid motor with an RB30 bottom end with either a RB25 or RB26 head. the dilema im having is trying to find out which head will bolt straight on with the least amount of modifications? ive read some of the threads on RB30 conversions but still cant find one that will answer my question

cheers

Theres an rb30 sub-forum in the force induction forum

rb26 is a direct bolt on but the block will need to be tapped out to take the 12mm headstuds

rb25 needs an oilfeed for the vct uses 11mm studs and are a direct fit to the block rb30 is 11mm (head needs a lil modding)

plus side is rb26 has a much better looking plenum however if its going into a gtst it will cost alot for custom piping (easily 2-3k) if u opt for a forward facing plenum

i think cubes has a rb25/30 with a low mount on the stock manifold with 400hp

the rb26 can mount a pair of -10s onto the stock manifolds (see Marko R1s thread)

The head Ryan is talking about (R32 RB25DE) is the EASIEST head to use if replacing an RB20 as everything plugs back in and will run on the stock ecu (which you can then have remapped).

If you have any specific questions, feel free to shoot me a PM :P

Hey guys

Ive tried surfing the net but i cant find the appropriate information. I'm just wondering if any knows or has a link to a website or a picture that shows the timing belt assembly of an RB25/30DET motor?

Also ive been hearing that i may have to put a new tensioner onto the block for the timing belt to be able to go on?

Whats the best way to get a good compression ratio with good response out of this motor?

Is it better to use a RB25DE or RB25DET head for this kind of conversion for results in compression and response?

thanks

Yes you will need to tap a new location for the tensioner, should be in the build pdf I think.

What are you doing with the bottom end? forging it or leaving it standard?

Standard, you're better off with the 25DE head for compression reasons. If you're forging the bottom end then get some twincam 30 specific pistons and use the 25DET head.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
