Than an RB30DE with ITBs?

FFS dudes. Thread needs to die now.

It is a shitty idea, there are hundreds of better engines out there that will have better throttle response and make more power NA with no mods needed.

RBs are great with forced induction, NA with cams they will always be inferior to large capacity NA motors such as a 4L six or a 5L+ v8. The later will also be cheaper as it will need no modifications, just the engine mount/transmission modifications.

You failed three times in as many lines skins.

I will be building a 25/30 non-turbo twin cam with custom ITBs utilizing the bottom half of the manifold. POSSIBLY bodging with some VG30 throttle bodies.

Then I'll be ripping out my 25DET and building that to awesome spec.

Rolls, I don't want to make that much power out of it... enough to have fun while I build other engine. Thats it.

edit: maybe a VQ30...

A 2ltr N/A 6 will never compare to a six cylinder twice it's capacity. Don't forget the RB is quite old technology noe too.

Ltr for ltr I can vouch for ITB's working on an RB20, this year I won my class (1600cc- 2000cc) for the second year in a row. I went ITB's because they are cheaper than three Webbers, although I'd probably get more power from the carb's, nothing worng with them if you know how to tune them.

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
