1. The RB30 4 blocks SPOOL IMPORTS was so kind to supply me with!

2. One cleaned block. Bored to the new CP pistons, and ready for install.

3. Spool conrods, ARP bolts, CP pistons - ceramic coated on top and teflon coated on the side. CP piston rings.

4. Pistons and rods mounted. Main bolts i use unbrako 12.9 bolts. (example. Opel lotus omega use this as std)

5. Fitting the intake plenum to renewed head. Portmatched, and a little porting. Otherwise std RB25 head for now. (Done the oil mods, enlarged the oil return, extra oil return to oil pan etc..

6. Engine ready to go in.

7. Old RB25DET setup.

8. New RB30DET engine in.

9. Relocation of fuse boks..

10. More engine work and the work place / car.

11. Test mounting the turbo. (GT4094R)

12. Exhaust manifold done, turbo mounted correct way, exthaust temp probes mounted at each cylender, wiring done, (only wiring in engine bay is for engine and temp probes)

13. Heat wraping done.

14. Were i am now. I need to put clamp on pressure piping, mount water cooler, fill her up and crank it. (This picture is before oil cooler was mounted, its there now. 19 rows.)

There is alot other work to the car.. But this is engine thread soo.. :-)

This is my budget build on a RB30DET.. To reach the aim i have i still need to get a double or triple clutch, and some headwork. (Cams, and springs and least!) The aim is 700 - 800 crank HP. (With MAYBE 150 NOS ontop for 1/4).. But for now it is ~500 crank HP until the things i need done are done..

Only engine block has cost me 5239 AUD in total to build complete with new tensioners, belt, etc.. Then there is the GT4094R. RB25DET head is std but re-newed so not that big a cost as i also already had it from me RB25 engine. exhaust manifold has cost me maybe 100AUD, homemade as all other things done to this car. Intake and throttle body is about 400AUD plus ALOT of time to make nice. Intake manifold was a very poor fit, plus very uneven in the runners.Then there is alot of small bits and pieces, dont know what that has run up in. Also got a vi-pec ECU a short time before i started with the RB30 build.

This time around i have spent a total of 16592 AUD on the car (this is including the above which is only engine..) And still need to use ~13000AUD to get the car "finished" to were i do not want more done to it.. (I know there is ALWAYS something else to do... hehe).

The last picture here is my old CA18DET setup.. Car was completely std when bought 6 years ago.

It's going to be interesting to see how things go. Well done :(

This would have to be one of the larger turbo sizes onto a road driven RB engine. My Vipec gave an instant first start, and an even idle within a couple of minutes. Similarly a bit fluffy off-idle when touching the throttle, but impressive out of the box. :(

Thank you. I am a little surprised over this build. Start right up, idle perfect, and 2 min of tuning it takes rpms perfect now. No oil or water leaks.

Only issue ive had was that oil priming thing! I was expecting a little more in starting it up, but hey! i do not complain! hehe

Has been out for a few runs now. :) Drives very nice. Fantastic response, can feel the 500c extra! hehe. Love this!

No use of water, no use of oil, oil is super clean to look at, perfect oil pressure. at idle (1000 rpms right now - 25 psi oil pressure @ 140F. Oil is 10w40 mineral)

I need to fit my servo steering though! Damn i need to pull in that steering wheel! And need to build the rest of the exhaust. right now it got a 40cm downpipe after turbo, thats it. (sounds really sweeeeet!!)

Need to modify bonnet to fit, cant close as new engine is almost 4cm taller than the rb25.

Hi all!!

Engine is going strong! Has almost 3 hours of drive time on it now. Oil is completely clear, oil pressure is spot on. No funny noises or nothing.

I need some info on exhaust temps.

On cruise what exhaust temp should it be around? Right now it does not go over 450C..

on full load what temp? Has not tested FULL load.

And what is considered as high temps. I can set an alarm, that will cut engine revs to what i set it to, if temps go over a set temp.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
