Rb30's need a few small modifications first eg needs oil lines tapped into the block for the turbo, I'm also not sure how strong the crank would be on an rb30 to handle 300rkw.

Machining costs mite be expensive as their is more work needed.

I'm current getting my Rb25det machined with arias forged pistons, rb26 rods and keeping the crank standard. Its costing me heaps, buy the time you but all parts and put it all back in, it becomes a motor reliable motor, and should have no probs handling the power out put your after, If tuned well. But if you have the money to put an rb30 bottom end in I would recommend it as their are good benefits. But to make the motor reliable and strong you would have to spend a lots more all round to make that happen.

That depends what RB30 block you get. SII block has all the provisions for the turbo.

Apart from that the only other modifications required depends on what cam belt you use.

Its a little off topic but just to compare how tough the RB rods are:

Here's a little snip from a bloke i'm exchanging pvt messages with.

He's got a RB26 with a GT40 thats almost done.

My brothers is running 300rwkw at the moment and is only using stock rods, and I'm pretty sure it would be able to handle 350rwkw, just excessive revs may decrease their life span dramatically.

Hopefully we will be aiming for near 400 so we will be able to work out what is going to go first in a standard (although brand new and balanced) bottom end.

Generally most workshops will start upgrading the rods once they near 400rwkw. Although PSI03L has been running shotpeened standards for a while (nearly 2 years) and that has been running in excess of 500rwhp.

Hopefully my rods handle 300rwkw maybe just a little more with no problems. :(

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
