Hi all.

Im just wondering what would need to be done in order to put a rb30 bottom on my rb25de neo head. I have addressed a few points below.

The reason why i started this thread was due to; most of the other threads related to this topic were unfortunatly trolls or didnt have any information in relation to cost and power gains

I know that selling my car and getting a GTT is a better option

but im an NA fan. :D

Easy to do.

Approx cost.

Parts needed.

Raising compression if need be or the best way to raise them.

Approx power gain.

All advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Unless you want to spend a small fortune dont bother. Getting power out of a n/a isnt cheap.

Theres a guy on the r31 forums who had a worked n/a rb26 and spent a crap load, over 25k i think. He only got 170-180 rwkw. Considering what else you can do with that sorta money makes it a pretty stupid excercise.

Not saying it would cost anywhere near that but that just gives you an idea, it'd cost over 5k to get a decent n/a motor imo.

If you have a 34 you really need a turbo, there to heavy for n/a. Only cars close 1 tonne are good n/a.

Cheers for the help guys.

These damn p plate laws are so annoying.

Although i do understand why they are in place.

looks like im stuck with a slow na r34 for another 3 years because you have to be 22 to get off your p plates now :(

FML.

Cheers.

you do realise that putting a rb30 bottom end into your r34 would also be illegal?

if you want something faster than your r34, get a late model commodore or falcon and put a shorter diff ratio in it. won't be quite as good on the highway as it would be with the stock ratio, but round town it will be much faster.

or a 3.5L v6 manual magna. they will do the 1/4 mile in under 15 seconds (my last one did it in 14.8 with just a catback)

Damnit beat me to it :P

I know a way it can be done! :whistling:

But, expensive beyond your worst nightmare would be the first reason you wouldnt do it.

The second is what zebra said. Very smart move!

Third... save your money and survive your P's with the small amount of points they give you. The if you want something faster, just go and buy it once your off your P's.

the natro ones will beat a natro skyline, but that is beside the point. the main point is that the dash looks like the cockpit of a 1950's plane that has been butchered to fit in a car.

My na r33 smashed my mates na supra.

Damn their interiors are so damn ugly lol

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
