lets get this striahgt EVERYTHING i have spoken about in this thread has been turbo. the only thing im talking about thats non turbo is the motor im planing on putting in my car. now relax your pussy flaps everyonethis has become ridiculous

Edited by obsesv

what i meant by my mates motor is non turbo is.. its a factory non turbo motor, with a turbo setup on it. im terribly sorry for wording that very wrong!

i was trying to get the point across at the strength of an internally standard rb30

ahh so you meant to say, non turbo bottom end?

having a non turbo bottom end really makes little difference to the equation but now we have that cleared up, we can continue, fully enlightened

The size of my pussy flaps is rediculous, this topic has nothing on that

yes i meant its a non turbo bottom end, and head. wich doesnt really matter anyway cause the only difference is the cam which has been replaced anyway, but thats the extent of the headwork done to it.

i worded it badly :/

The pistons (comp ratio) is different also.

What Nismoid {edited for accuracy} said before was correct, though, you won't be able to make the chassis backwards compatible. You can put engines of equal vintage in but I'm pretty sure putting a less efficient engine into a newer car breaks all their rules

look im sick of arguing with everyone in here, i hope ive corrected all my mistakes by saying everything ive previously talked about has been turbo. big power n/a rb's just doesnt happen.

now, if we want to talk about my car. the idea of putting an rb30 in came to me because as ive said i can get one for basically nothing and i can do all the work myself. being an apprentice i dont earn lots of money so i want to do it on the cheap, and n/a rb25 is hard to find in its self, and expensive when you do find one. im not looking for performance out of this car at ALL while it is n/a, i just want a nice cruiser. due to previously having a turbo car and being on my p's i have a daily driver so i have plenty of time to do all this. SO in summary, an rb30 is the cheapest and quickest way to make my skyline n/a, then when i want to step it up all ive gotta do is chuck a twin cam head on and away i go

if anyone else wants anything cleared up feel free to ask!

yeah the head gasket in it is thicker thus making it the same as a factory turbo rb30

If you want to do it and your budget allows, then ring DOT/RTA and see if they will allow it. As far as being ABLE to be done....sure it can. Go for it.

You can always rip the head off and go twin cam later if the peer pressure gets too much.

yeah im aware of that, its not my biggest worry

Go and read my post.

Then read it again.

Then continue reading

The car is BUILD PLATED as TURBO.

- You cannot put a RB30E into a R32 and be legal if my recollection of laws is correct (I'm usually pretty on the money), meaning RB20E and RB25DE are your choices etc. You cannot put an older motor, into a newer chassis.

- You need to RE-ENGINEER it, that is not free to begin with. They might also emissions test you, again not free.

It's not a simple case of "motor out, motor in - I've beaten the system".

It might pay you to investigate the laws before getting wild ideas.

yeah ill look into it. ill see if its able to be engineered or something.

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
