Ok. I've seen numerous threads where people put RB25/26 Heads onto a RB30e bottom end. That's fine as both engines are fuel injected and uses ECUs. I even saw the RB30E build PDF on the internet and it stats what is needed for the whole conversion.

Now, i'm asking something different this time. Don't use the ECUs. How about taking the bottom end of a RB30s (Carby) and putting on a RB25DE Head from a R32 (non-vct). That would work right. I know that will fit but......

The problem now is where can i get an intake manifold to mount Webers and trumpets onto a R32 RB25DE Head? Finding one is near impossible. Will the carby intake from the RB30S fit the R32 RB25DE Head?

This is just for information. If information is scarce, then i'll abandon the project. I'm not going high power here. I'm not even going to turbocharge it. Just looking for something different.

Thanks.

I asked a similar question. and the c*nts got stupid and started talking about putting a 202 into it instead.

don't abandon the project. keep looking.

Yeah, information on RB30S seems close to nothing. I guess no one has ever seen one lying around. Guess i have to search deep into Japan websites to find what i'm looking for.

Yeah i saw the link, got flamed instantly lol. Sometimes we are just looking for experiments and that's why we come to SAU...to get information. Not to be depressed and saying that efi is superior and such. We know it's superior but we're not aftering power here.

The RB30s and RB30e heads use the same inlet manifold pattern. So the RB30s inlet manifold won't fit your twin cam head. You'll probably have to custom make something.

Your other problem will be ignition - correct me if i'm wrong - but the twin cam heads normally use coil packs. That means you'd also have to figure out a way to fit a distributor too.

Comments about the RB30s lack of ability to rev seem to ignore that the camshaft profile for the patrol is likley to be very different to the RB30e in the skylines. The patrol is set up to have good power from idle for 4WDriving and higher revs are not really required for a standard 4WD.

You'll need to modify the manifold... BUT DOOO IIITTT.....

Use the stock 25 manifold, cut off the throttle body flange, remove all the injection gear then weld up the injector holes, weld on a side draft flange, bolt on a large side draft carbie. OR an LPG set up.

Ignition? Modify a cam gear to run an rb30 distributor off the front (speedway guys running vh's or lexas v8's do a similar thing), then run the ignition al-la rb30. It just has to spin 1:1 rotor button to crank.

Get a set of extractors, then mess with the cam timing to get the best low down torque results.

Just make shure you run some reasonable compression and tune it as well as you can (with LPG or carbie), if you go with LPG you can use alot more static compression.

Doooooo iiiiiiittt!!!!

+ if you get bored with it, drill and tap the injector holes, thread in a set of nitrous foggers and run 150hp of nitrous/fuel into the thing.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
