Yeah, Hybrid and I were planing on making the 95 our shop drag car with a 30/25 hybrid in it.

Good luck with the head, they should be able to take car of you, and if not point you in the right direction to finding one.

IT WILL BE COMPLETLY REBUILT WITH FORGED PISTONS AND CRO-MOLY RODS, RB26 OIL PUMP, NEW RB30 WATER PUMP, I MAY TAKE THE PISTON SQUIRTERS FROM A RB20 AND PUT THEM IN THE RB30, AND THERE ARE A FEW OTHER THINGS I'LL BE DOING.

So are you recieving a hybrid motor that has already been put together or are you recieving the RB30ET (single cam)?

Also, who did you get it from and how much is shipping?

I would highly recommend using the oil squirters. The cooling advantage would be well worth it.

Datz tight that your getting a rb30. I was thinking about getting that engine but I got a rb26 instead. Where do you get replacement parts for that engine though? Are they hard to find? Aussie?

AUSTRAILIA.... BUT IT WILL HAVE A RB25DE HEAD HOPEFULLY. I HAVE A CONNECTION TO GET ANY FORGED PISTONS AND RODS FOR $1500 WITH PINS, RINGS, AND ROD STUDS. WATER AND OIL PUMPS ARE INTERCHANGABLE ACROSS THE RB BOARD.... THE RB26 IS AN UPGRADE THE RB25 IS THE SAME, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE RB20 HOLDS UP. GASKETS ARE THE RB25.

You are making this too easy. :ylsuper

Also, I would be wanting a factory service manual for the 25/26 and 30. I read in a post somewhere that you got one for a r32, and I was wondering where you got it from, how detailed it is and if its in English?

The r32 manual is just the engine service manual so it lacks alot and is far from worth the $150 I payed for it, yes it was in english. I could possibly get a rb30 fsm for you, i'll look into it.

I'm just curious when or how long you've been at this project?, are you aware of the guys over in chicago they have a fully built RB30 with twin cam head conversion in a S13 it's pulled apart right now for some new goodies but I just think it's cool that there may be actually two of these things now.
