After a broken valve spring demolished my last 25 it was (or so I thought) the easier option to drop in a fresh forged 30 engine I had in waiting.

Quite surprised at how many little changes need to be made to make it work such as oil and water lines, vct oil feed, engine mounts etc.

If all stays on track we should be on the rollers as early as next monday so heres hoping for some same 450/ 500 hp fun at less revs.

This is a sad day for SAU... :(

Its actually a sad day for me Ash. I loved the wail of the 25 givin it to some bogan at powercruise with more engine out of the bonnet than under it. I guess I'll never realise the full potential of the setup now. However i just cant afford to continue down the same path.

What really cuts me is that beautiful cylinder head is now a doorstop, That was the last straw, I either find a way to do it without leaning on it so hard or i go lawn bowling.

Noel, do you have any better pics of your cars rear guard flaring ? Being black , i found it very hard to notice what you had done in your other thread, whenever that was :(

Welcome to the club.. i have a spare forged 30 sitting inside the house too.. only cause i can't afford the 26 head work yet !! Tempted to just whack it under the current 5cyl RB25 for the sprint season.

Indeed, i gotta say i loved my RB25 as well, not as much as the 26 though... lol.

Tell me you are going 25NEO/30 with VCT and 26 intake... hahaha :(

Its quite minor gary. The guards have only been pulled about 15 mil.

When my mate gets back from hols with his big mofo canon camera I will try and get some pics that show it more.

what you on about willis, the 30 drops into a GTST without any mods to the engine mounts (or are you using a standard intake manifold?).

The rb30 'forklift' (thanks paul) will pick up and crush an rb26 in every aspect of performance let alone the rb25 :P

The r35gtr has increased capacity for every logical reason, easy and effortless power delivery.

My previous rb26 feels like a 2 stroke in comparison haha.

Anyways, will be good to get your take on it when you kick your rb30 in the guts

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
