RB30/26 Into 1996 S2 R33 Gtst

Gidday Peoples. 

I've been a manner here for a while and never really said anything. 

But now I shall change that. 

I own a 1996 R33 Rb25det Powered Gtst with 444.4 RWHP @ 19.5 PSI. 

 

But I have excessive soil vapour coming out if my Tappet cover breathers and now out my exhaust pipe. 

 

I have recently purchased a RB26/30 THAT only had a mild tune and 400 RWHP.

And I want to put it into my r33. I know I will have to fabricate my own engine mounts and that 999.9% of the sensors will work from the factory r33 harness. 

 

I need to know if there is any little traps that fought people out when they attempted this conversion. 

 

What am I missing. 

I have spent about 4 or so weeks researching this and frankly there isn't much about it at all anywhere. There is heaps on doing the build of a rb26-26/30 

But bugger all about putting it into a car. 

If you knowbof any threads or pages or even YouTube vids please send me the link. 

 

Thanks In Advance. 

Pat

Cheers for the welcome note. 

Yeah I'm sure someone can help. 

Getting depressing sitting on my back veranda looking at it and not being able to go for a run in it. 

 

And driving my patrol (As nice and comfortable as it is) is not a very fast car. Never tried to give it a foot full either. I drive it like it's ment to be driven. Low revs slow corners and a slow ish take off. 

 

The R33 on the other hand.

But 444 RWHP on a stock motor is a good effort. But I built it around the fact that i will want the Rb26/30 in there so twin Proflo Pumps 1/2" fuel lines 2200cc I.D injectors ect ect. 

 

And what better way to start then making sure I'm well informed. 

 

Anyway Take care mate and thanks again.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
