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.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
