Mines just a dead RB30E ATM... Gotta start somewhere tho :)

I think Trina is gunna flip at "another" car bit as it is... So, your out of luck sorry Pred :D

Now I have to read that long arse RB30DET thread... And start to choose pistons, rods, etc...

*sigh*

rb30det is the way to go if you want a lot of power..

yeah, read through most of that several times :) i really have to work out how much its gonig to cost me, and what else i might need to spend money on.

So will be at least 6 months before i really think about mine. I asked around a bit and would probably cost at least $5k or so, depending on whether you go forged rods, etc.. And thats just the bottom.. never mind turbo, installation (assume you're doing that yourself :D ).. etc.

hehe - really only joking about the storage.. this is why the places i have been looking at renting *must* have a garage.. for all my car crap (and cars)..lol

Mmmm... Just started reading it... Looks like standard rods and crank are good for 350rwkw...

This is getting cheaper by the hour!

yeah.. just get em prepped :D In fact the whole bottom end is probably good for around 250rwkw or maybe more as they have cast pistons.. as my engine was just removed for a conversion and is still pretty fresh - i was even thinking of just dumping the head on, getting it all fitted up and just running it for a while like that.. if something breaks just has to come out and get built properly :)

Nah my 30 has got low comp as it is... So, I'm gunna take my time, and make it STRONG...

RB30's suck. Haven't seen a good one yet. Even John Munro's OS 3ltr was a waste of money, just ask him

look at the australian street car drag list though.. and some of them are even SOHC.. mattlow has/had ? a 11sec gts-t in melb using a 3L bottom end..

There are a lot of shitty engine builders out there though.

    • 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.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
