Has anyone done this conversion in SA or have information on it? I've been reading up a lot on it on the skylinesaustralia.com forum. They have a whole section on RB30 conversions which is very interesting but I'm wondering if anyone has experience building one here
RB30 block and R25/26 head build
Pm me your number got a friend that has done a rb25 head on rb30 block
Wynand has done a couple of them a couple of years ago. He is on here every now and then.
Hey. Yeah wynand would be the man to chat too
Ok great thanks for the help guys, will let you know what my plans are for the R31. Need to post more so haven't been able to pm yet unless I'm just being an idiot. My number is 076 888 0980
I built 2, works very well, just a few mods. Have a complete motor available, RB30 sub with RB26 head.
RB25SX what would you be asking for the motor setup?
Going to compile a list of the necessary modifications to this build, any comments and crit will be appreciated
Recon complete RB26 cyl head with intake manifold, adjustable cam pulley's ,OEM RB26 gasket set, ARP head studs, RB30 block & crank (collar fitted), ACL race bearings, ARP rod bolts fitted in stock rods, new cast pistons, all machining done. R17000
Needs oil pump, water pump, new cam belt, oil restrictor in block.
Was going to continue with this build but opted not to. Hence my delay... Thanks rb25sx, I was interested but I'd rather go 2jz for that priced lol. Although it is a rather interesting motor you've got setup there. I see you are based in somerset west, I'm durbanville side if you perhaps want to get in touch
You are forgetting the little part about the RB30DET dropping straight in vs having to change a crap load of stuff, including the exhaust routing to get the 2JZ in.
Haha yeah I am aware of the straight drop in although I'm not so concerned about the change in motor setup. I've done a 1jz conversion in a s13 so I'm sure I can do another in my r31 😀
RB30/26 motor sold.
No stress. Thanks though 🙂
