The Story

Got a rb30 block i machined up, was going to stick it in my r31 to make the na 26/30 a 3.2L but have decided to go down a different path,

Motor is currently un assembled as i had put down a deposit for the stroker kit and that's as far as i got

I have machined the block using a kit we had here at work;

The Details

Work done;

Acid bath

Bead blasted whole block

drilled out press in plugs replaced with screw in type

bored and honed to 86.5mm/ 3.405"

angular grove in main tunnel

Line honed main

Drilled out oil returns to 10mm

Notched top of Welsh plug housing on exhaust side

Tensioner stud relocated according to guide

dummy assembled

Notched bottom of bores for con rod clearances

ground sump rail removed 0.004"

Ground water pump/ oil pump area, removed 0.003" (was slightly bowed)

Ground to 0 deck height

Painted black with rattle cans

(no awd conversion, no 12mm gtr stud conversion)

current parts

ARP main studs

ACL race series rb26 main bearings

ACL race series rb30 big end bearings

The Price

Asking price $11,000 for assembled short motor

will need $5,000 up front to pay off rest of kit so crank pistons and rods can be balanced and assembled

EXTRA INFO

(make 100% sure you have the whole amount as once the kit is paid for, i can't give refunds until another buyer has paid if you decide to back out)

(assembly will include ring gaps, bearing clearances, bearing crush, crank end float measurements. I can't give warrantee as i have no control over how its run in or driven, and that im not a business)

Will upload pics a little later

Contact me via pm (i hate giving my number out on a public forum)

hey buddy how much as is un-assembled wat has been done to block have u already stroked it..very interested so if u could pleases give me a call so i can find out a little more from u..im joel u can reach me on 0478739988 anytime , thanks for time..

Block has been machined to suit a stroked nitto crank

(pm sent)

Will upload pics on weekend

Had a quite a few PMs with similar questions;

can you hold onto it? Im expecting some money in the next month or two

Sorry but i wont be holding onto something as 90% of the time they never had money to begin with

why not get a refund on the kit and just sell the block as is

1) i put a deposit of 1,500 back in October, either i pay off rest of kit ($6,500 retail price, $5,000 owing)or get store credit, store doesn't have anything to suit the 31 that i don't already have, or it isn't going to go with the next motor im going to put in

2) highly un likely to sell block by itself at a price to break even

how much for un assembled?

$10,000

low ballers

Just stop trying, not interested in swaps either

postage

Happy to send from work if buyer organises it

Final price drop $9,500 firm crank bolted in, ready to assembly pistons and rods (will even chuck in a free half empty clevitte assembly lube bottle)

kit is still collecting dust

Pistons have a 5cc dome, which will make it 8:97:1 static comp (with 64cc combustion chamber and a 1.2mm thick x 88mm bore head gasket)

plus with sump rail machined, its ready to have a pro engines 4wd sump adapter added on with a little notching on the outside

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
