You seem to like quoting a lot of stuff yourself, like quoting paper without actually knowing what you're on about yourself.

Well sir what field of work are you actually in? Yes I quote stuff but I do know what I am talking about after years in the trade you get a certain nitch at working with cars. Also I quote stuff as I don't want to blur the meaning of the original writer and do not want to take credit for someone else.

How come the school zones are still active if it seems like school holidays on here?? :blink:

its probably uni holidays.

Someone claims they know what they're talking about in building engines... Still wants advice off "backyarders" on how to build engine... Lol

Did you read my first post, obviously not I asked for any advice so I can fast track this project otherwise it will be a matter of trial and error. But so far all you have done is argue against the idea because you believe it is a bad idea. Nearly every other person has said do it and post back results which I will have to do, but you sir have kept this attitude up that you have a superior knowledge over myself. I asked politely at the start of the thread if no one could delve into the topic of why but you sir did so I replied in a just way against your unfounded theories that you tried ever so hard to thrust upon me.

It would seem easy enough, if the block is VCT then block off the VCT oil feed and put 1-1.2mm restrictors in the other 2, use RB30 head bolts/studs for correct length for head, the hardest bit I can think of would be the correct length of the timing belt as no one I could think of would have done this before so you will have the figure that out for yourself after the head is fitted

the RB30 head has a smaller combustion chamber the the 25/26 heads ( not sure about the NEO head, I believe it has a smaller chamber then the normal 25 head ) so the comp ratio will be higher, so checking the valve clearance would be a good idea

that said I stand by my previous post as it's not a great idea, they went to twin cam for a reason/reasons, but I love a slapper engine and am interested to see how this turns out, GL :thumbsup:

Yea I have not put much thought into this as of yet (the finer details) I hear you about blocking off the vct feeds. With the belt this is one thing I was thinking of today I am guessing I just have to reverse the figures from a rb25/30 so the extra length required will be subtracted instead. But I think I may be able to use a rb20e belt if gates make one.

easiest way would be fit head then cut an old belt and run it around then measure it/count the teeth, then search for a belt

PS if it isn't a Nissan replacement belt then make sure the teeth profile is right, when I searched for a belt for my 26/30 I found that one of the belts commonly use for this combo is not the correct profile

Thanks heaps I normally only use the right part for the right car, but have done a few matchup jobs in my time.

Dude, everyone has said to not do it in here, you know, the kids who play with RBs all day?

The only ones saying do it are the ones who are going to be ready to piss them selves laughing when you make about 150HP...

Feel free, go ahead and do, we'll be here waiting to laugh...

My RB30E made 109rwkW on a dyno, it's standard with GTS1 cam and GTS2 extractors.

Dropping $10k into it would easily make 250rwkW :P


Do it hero, and post results (so we can laugh at you). By the time you're done, you could have bought an RB25DET.

You came here for advice, you got it, you don't like it so you're going to fight us? Kids these days...

I never tried to start a fight I asked for advice I have received some but I have also received comments from a smart a#$ that tried to question my reasons. I asked for the thread not to go down this path I just want advice like some I received from XKLABA thanks :).

Like I have already stated I am building a turbo engine the engine I want advice on is a N/A engine.

BTW what may cost you 10k does not mean I will pay 10k for the same it's called trade prices and accounts at parts shops also it makes it easy when you have a work shop.

Yea i'll have to start soon as it seems you guys have started to get a interest in this. First thing will be a acid bath I guess then i'll see what is next.

Oh yea a bore on the 25 block is farked so i'll have to find some oversized N/A pistons as it is a turbo block. I will have to weigh up the cost of new rods over resizing mine vs the performance gain.

ask gerg_r31 or have a look at his R31 N/A thread. That was with an RB26 head though.

There was an interesting discussion on Performance Forums about 2 valve vs 4 valve incidentally, though I believe it might have been more a comparison of V8 head design.

My note will be a lil bit more potent than that ;)

Also what is with all the youtube clips with people starting engines cold reving them without load?????

m3 with supersprint exhaust what I want but cant afford atm. Edited by pf.

Really I might have to go and check that out it sounds interesting.

Is that the 26/30 that made only 160kw.

If you wonder why I say only what I mean is that those figures sound very low for the perceived power it should make on paper. I myself thought how can a 26 head on a 3l block only make that much power when some 202's come close or better they aren't even crossflow.

Refer back to the stats I quoted in a post of the m20 160kw should be doable with a 30 head so why spend the extra on a 26 head if I am not going to spin the engine past 8k?

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
