Was having a look online and read a few places that a rb30de engine as long as it's series 2 is fine to use for 30/25 turbo build so long as you change the cams and pistons as I was going to anyway. Is this true because if it is my mates got a spare rb30de s2 with water and oil lines already that I can have so would save a bunch of money on doing so.
 
Cheers guys.

You can use stock pistons if you are poor. I think you'll find the cams are in the head.

Will probably upgrade pistons just because it'll all be apart. And yeah, was a copy and paste from vl forums. :P

You don't need water and oil lines if you are just going RB30DE, the water and oil lines are just for the turbo.

Going to be turbo. Only just got into the planning phase so still doing a fair bit of research and planning out the go.

Once I've mapped everything out as far as all parts used for certain components I'll do a write up and can get critiqued on the optimal way to progress towards my goal.

 

End goal is MAX 500RWKW, tuned to say around 350ish - Want it for Race Days, Street driving/weekending occasional weekly use.

Go to town on critiquing. Would love to get the optimal parts for my goal, within a good price as cheap as necessary but do want it reliable.

Right your thread says RB30DE so was confused. No way 1000cc injectors and a 3076 will ever make 500kw but will do 350kw no worries

Yeah, I changed to just aiming for 350kw. More reasonable for my budget and my first build. The only thing I think I might change from that above list is just getting some upgraded cams, from what I've read and seen others do they've achieved my numbers with a pretty similar setup. Do you think that the listed above build will be pretty reasonably reliable at about 350kw?

I've just about completed my 2530 depending on power goals is not a cheap build. I hate to add the final figure but all I can recommend to it once do it right. Remember poor man pays twice
List of mods include
Series 2 rb30de block
Ported rb25 head
Tomei valve springs and retainers
Camtech 272 cams
Garrett gt42
Npc twin plate clutch
Bosch 2200 injectors
Microtech lt16c with flex tune
List goes on


If you buy a neo head and intake you'll save money on the reg and fuel rail plus all the other benefits like solid lifters.

My fuel system is maxed with 1000's and walbro 416, change the 044 pump for a bigger.

Going to use the head and any other useful salvageable parts from the engine from the car I buy 33 gts-t.

I think i am going to go with the option of doing it right first, it's going to be in the build phase for a long time since I can't drive it anyway for another year so there is no rush. So It's going to be well worth it when it is done.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
