I m getting sick n tired of my RB25 for not producing as wat i expected :D . I m in the process of rebuilding RB26/30 conversion.

Anyone hv dun RB26/30 conversion ? So far wat i had heard people use RB25/30 conversion .

Need technical advice n where to get all the parts of RB30 block, i.e. pistons (wat compression ratio), forge conrods, crankshafts, bolts, main bearings, head gaskets etc.....

Helpppp !!!!!! :Oops: :Oops: :Oops:

Thanks mate... manage to get the pdf :D .... but again its RB25/30 conversion.

Wat i can remember, Sub Zero performance had built RB26/30 conversion and they have thier own website... but its seems their website are no long exist or maybe i got the wrong web address.

Do you guyz know how, where i can contact them ?

ive also read that the rb26 head isnt good for the rb30 converion.  something to do with the rb26 head being used for high rev applications, where the rb30 is low rev.

Hi Steve, who the hell said that crap? It's the sort of rubish you get on VL forums, "SOHC is better cause you dun havta rev it". :wassup:

The RB26 head is all about airflow, getting the most air in and out efficiently. So a 3 litre is going to flow the same at 7,000 rpm as a 2.6 litre flows at 8,000 rpm. To me that sounds like an ideal situation.:)

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
