Just read the whole thread... Very nice engine build!

I love the attention to detail in building the engine, the only shame with the build is the short runner intake. Though it does look cool, you'll make much better power if you can add at least another 10 cm with a 90 deg vertical bend. A little bit of work in doing it, but it seems like you're the right man for the job!

My car started out life as a RB25DE and I very nearly made the decision to sub in a RB30 block (back in 2003) to up the HP keep it N/A. The RB is such a nice feeling (and sounding) engine in NA form I was keen to keep that alive, and also do something a little different. But alas, I went for the more cost effective option of dropping a RB25DET in.

Re: My comments on the short runners above

I'd buy 6 of something like this (or with thicker walls if you can find it):

They'd have an ID of 48mm, which is a pretty close match to the RB26 throttle body. Chop off the trumpets and weld them to the end of the bend, and you have some cool vertical velocity stacks! More power and a funkier look!

[Gerg_R31]

i am well aware of the shorter runners = more top end,

longer runners = more bottom end

unfortunatly there is the physical room to fit them, which isnt available

then there is the linkage holder, which there is a bar that was welded onto the trumpets to support that

www.jntperformance.com.au this is where i have bought the ramtubes from, they do have bends and longer ramtubes etc

Awesome engine built

Nothing wrong with putting a bend in the runners, 45-60deg will clear the clutch master and make their way towards the bonnet. Wouldn't be that hard at all to make....would be good to see some back to back testing if your keen. Pay for materials only

Assembly time.

Kero washed everything, assembled, measured and calculated clearances, ring gaps etc, with flexi, feeler and dial gauges etc. Pulled apart re washed, then assembled using natural thiners and non-synthetic oils and assembly/ run in lubes, roughly dialing the cams in. All the usual stuff that should be done. I took my time and finally finished it over 2 weeks of making sure everything is 100% spot on and perfect

crank clearances all on mid size, piston to valve clearance 0.130" on intake 0.0180 on exhaust

Fitted the one off carbon fibre lower timing cover made. Had 3 dash 8 fittings welded onto the sump and fitted that, one for the drain kit, 2 for a catch can a bit further down the track. Also fitted the 90 amp alternator, engine mount brackets.

Pulled out the old rb30e, dropped the RB26/30DE in

Bought spitfire coil packs, silicon hose kit, fitted the ITB intake manifold, power steering

Sent it to Liverpool exhaust, they fitted equal length 3 into 2 into 1 extractors, hi flow cat, 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust with a resonator and a straight through muffler. Fitted the carbon fibre upper timing cover and coil pack cover when I got it back

Mick at Mick Motorsports wired up the Haltech Pro Sport 2000

I've since the tune, I had a little E10 in 98 pump problem, gave the head a quick reco but with very exact details everything like last build, while the head was off I started to make up my own ram tube manifold with gizmo thermal intake manifold gaskets

Mick at Mick Motorsports is sorting out the throttle body linkages and doing the final tune with cam timing and stuff

above is the most recent picture, not everything was put on as that was more of a dummy assemble

picked up an oil cooler and oil catch can to put on when it gets back

HI Are you still selling tihs engine set up.?
