Easily. The RB30 block causes the head to be situated very high compared to the stock 26, pm cubes and ask him about how much clearance he actually has (he reckons its not a lot)... cant run a strut brace with a 26/30 unfortunately

-D

ah cheers!

i knew the 30 block was taller, only assumed a touch though.

30mm is a lot in an engine bay for clearance issues. Then think that everything like exhaust dumps etc need to be re-fabricated to suit the taller block height. It's all one big task

thats why if you go the kakimoto route you get to keep all your dumps and stuff

as with strut brace Cubes kept the over the top plenum and inlet pipe work if you go front facing plenum you can have a strut brace

Cubes had a R32 GTS-t didn't he? It harder to fit the RWD RB2x/30 because of the over the rocker cover intake manifold which reduces clearance even further. The GTR's have more clearance but there are still bonnet problems, also with the GTR's you can't drop the engine like with the RWD's because your dropping the drive shafts as well.

There's 38mm difference in the blocks.

how? heads still going to sit 30mm higher than standard?

yeah had a seniors moment there :laugh:

yeah cubes also tilted the engine too from memory and dropped it a little lower in the engine mounts cant be done as your reason on GTS4 , GTR

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
