i wish the bottom end of my engine was that cheap

[naughtyruski]

Hi guys if you hear of any rb30 blocks or rb25de or rb25det heads for sale around town could you please let me know. Dont mind what level of assembly the block is as i will be sourcing my own pistons and rods, would be good if it has a crank, as for the head, the more assembled it is the better it is.

thanks

I've just started the same project haha

Sweet, joint thread? Lol

Yeah mate. I am still trying to source the right block. I want the rb30 series 2 block of course. Had a few ridiculous offers from some wreckers. So basically we are both after an rb30 bottom end.

[RB ONEVIA]

what were the wreckers after for them? whats your price range? ill see what i can do. is it just the block or with pistons, rods and crank? with head? or going 25?

[wal32r]

I'm not sure about block choice, what's the advantage of the series 2? I was going to try find an r32 rb25de head but they seem to be as rare as rocking horse shit so I cbf trying to find one.

I just want a complete rb30 s2 bottom end. I already have an Rb25det head on my car that I will use.

I got figures of 500-600 from some wreckers down Queanbeyan way.

I understand the going rate for such an engine should be not alot more than $100-150 based on what other people i know have paid for same engine type

[naughtyruski]

Preferably I would like a complete bottom end with head attached. Nothing else necessary.

SII has the holes for oil and water for turbo whereas SI have to be drilled. that is all.

i have heard prices as low a $50 for just a bare block. also if you can get a RB25 VCT head that would be best. RB26 head is a bit of work to fit. but is superior.

Yeah they go pretty cheap so I am not spending more than i have to on the stock motor. I will go all out on the upgrades. I just need a half decent motor to strip and go from there.

All RB30's out of R31's are Series 2, the just have holes for Oil/water as RB ONEVIA said. Only the VL had Series 1 RB30's.

I haven't seen any RB30 block that has been broken, ever.

And, I've still got a free RB30 bottom end. I have no idea what condition it is in, I just wanted to get rid of it so it's been sitting outside for a little while now.

Also, I haven't been looking but R31's/RB30's don't seem to be appearing forsale as commonly as they used too.

on a fullboost dvd, theres a guy, ben viscondie or something, running rediculous boost and kept breaking his blocks, so he sold the car. it can happen with around 40+psi...

Outside ay, so pretty high chances that its rusted through..

[wal32r]

Yeah I sent you a pm eiji, I can come get it whenever, ill take it to engine rebuilders to get tested.

[wal32r]

And also, with the s1 block, do they still have the flat surface where the threads usually are for the oil and water lines? Or are they from a completely different cast?

R31s started and finished a year before VLs so i dont understand why they all had SII blocks.

no idea on that. as far as i know the only difference are the holes for the turbo lines.

[wal32r]

What about this? Im guessing the collar is to

suit twin cam oil pumps?

That looks like the Lewis engines one, Go see Greg at pro engines, he can get cranks from melbourne, If not i have a crank that might be usable (note the might part)

A collar is a good idea as the 30 cranks only drive about 3mm of the pump gear and are prone the breaking the pumps,

Once again Greg can do that for around 350 fitted.
