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

thats Gold Carl

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

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
