hi guys,

I saw a thread earlier on about building an RB30DET engine using an RB25DE head and RB30 block, t04 turbo etc.....

i'm getting an R32 and i wanna know if it's feasible to build a 3-litre engine using an RB30E block (non-turbo internals for higher compression, correct?) and RB20DET head.

what sorta compression ratio will that leave me with, and what would I have to replace on the block to make it handle the power? my first thought was oil pump and water pump..... but after reading JNR24's post it looks like i could be up for some big-end bearings too.

anyways, any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm gonna try and tackle this one myself (with the help of one of my friends who's done rebuilds before) so i wanna do thorough research first. i'd love to know how much power to expect (ballpark) from an RB30DET (keeping in mind that i'll at least be rebuilding & hi-flowing the stock turbo, if not replacing it with something a little more pricey)

thoughts/opinions/advice?

If you can find out the Cubic Centimetre of the clearance volume on the rb20, go and find the stroke are bore of a rb30 NA and voila.

R = Bore / 2 (work in centimetres)

~ = Pie (cant find pie on the character map)

H = Stroke (in centimetres)

~R^2 = A

A x H = Volume (in CC's of the swept volume of the piston)

V + Clearance Volume (of RB20 head) = Capacity (of one cyl)

Capacity / Clearance Volume (of RB20 Head) = Compression Ratio

Its pretty easy if you can get it explained face to face.... But to work it out you have to know all your volumes.

      Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
