Official RBBA Thread - RB Baller Association

Post by **Coolwhip** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 6:19 am

So it has come time for those of us that just plain out ballin' with their RB's identify themselves as a RBBA member.

This group (like the NRRBA) is a fun group to distrigish this select group of RB engine owners apart from the ever growing crowd of these motors. Nothing is wrong with the "hey, I'm on a tight swap budget" build or similar. But this is the area to bring light to those crazy people who just go all out pretty much.

It has been discussed with others that the standards we must up keep are majority of status rather than performance (list is not limited to):

Must be an RB engine ownerCurrent location (car or engine stand) does not matter

+ PointsBig turbo(s) / AftermarketMulti-plate clutchesBuilt EnginesQuailty custom piecesExpensive trinketsExotic alloys and materials [Titanium, Chrome, Carbond Fiber]Shiny thingsAttention to detail/OCD, hahaBig HP numbers, etcCrazy setupsAll-around baller stuff and/or clean installs.

- PointsStock (sock) crapSmall turbos (ie: GT2510)Wack fab jobs (barnyard PVC FMIC pipe kit)Dirt, Oil, grimeSingle plate clutchSmall injectors, lolNon-exotic materials (balsa wood, PVC, etc.)Butt-connectors and other horrible wiringEbay...etc

Lets keep this clean and fun, no sense in knocking other's engines but think twice before submitting a CA18 with a Polished RB20 front cover on it. And if your car is baller, thats fine but lets keep this to baller RB engines instead.

A good way to think of this group is the following... http://www.dailymotion.com/vid...music (LOL, take that as a bad joke)

(AND PLEASE KEEP THIS TO OUR NICO SETUPS AND NOT EVERYTHING YOU FIND ON A GOOGLE SEARCH)

Lets see, nothing on the outside looks to fancy.

Series II RB30 Block Spool Connecting Rods Custom Wiseco 86.5mm Pistons Nissan N1 Oil PumpJUN Crank CollarATI Balancer Nissan N1 Water Pump ACL Race Bearings RB26DETT Cylinder Head RB26 ARP Head Studs Cometic MLS Head Gasket Ported RB26DETT Exhaust Manifolds Mines Down Pipes R32 Nismo Turbos 60ar / 64 exhaust 720cc Greddy Injectors Nismo FPR ORC Twin Plate Clutch

Most of my efforts are in the machining. The block has had the casting flashings ground off (by me, very tedious work). Everything else was done my machine shops.

Final hone to fit the pistons was done with a torque plate I had machined specifically for the job. Now I have a nice $500.00 piece of aluminum.

Rear oil feed has been blocked. An oil restrictor has been installed in the front feed.

Tensioner has been relocated and the area for the RB26 knock sensors has been drilled and tapped.

Installation of the JUN crank collar was an interesting debate between different machinists.

RB26 valve lash adjustments will drive you crazy. Torque the cams, measure, remove cams, measure shim, good luck finding the correct shim! Found it was effective to tick a little off the valve stem or surface grind some of the other shims. Appearantly this is not a new concept, some Jaguar heads were simular setups. Then a cam cap bolts can snap when you least expect it. At least the cam did not snap in two like others have had happen!

Crank and rod bearing clearances mic out to be within specs.

Right now the last piece of my motor puzzle is being worked on. The Wiseco pistons have to much dome area. My compression ratio would be around 9.2:1. To much for my taste. My machinist has to do some creative cutting so we do not get to thin on the top. Thicker head gasket would have been to easy.

All these parts are sitting in my spare bedroom. Hopefully next week I can start the assembly.

my vote goes to Booztd3 and 74260zt so far. 74260zt, how does your car run? i followed it a few years ago when both of us were still in the swap phase but i havent heard much about your car recently.

props to built rb30 swaps too

Post by **Coolwhip** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 5:10 pm

Very true, I've always enjoyed looking through the pics of you that car.

I believe there is a new turbo setup in the works?

Post by **Coolwhip** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 5:11 pm

as well, nice work you guys, setups look on par.

Post by **cdorhout** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 6:13 pm

Well, I've worked pretty hard on my setup and believe it's alright.

nice cars

Post by **jdmser** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 6:53 am

I know. I've been debating on what to replace it with. I'm thinking Spec, South Bend, RPS, or ACT. They are all in my price range and torque needs.

Here's a more recent pick. I now have lost count of how many times I've pull the motor.

Post by **jdmae86** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:42 pm

my 5 month project... still not done...

tons of bolt ons... bah bah bah... still not finished

not 1 wire in the car is OEM.. took my friend a good wk to wire this sucker up... everything tucked makes it soooo clean.

All i need is some 550cc injectors & a steering wheel...

not pictured... PFC w/ Datalogit, Nardi Shift Knob, Catch Can, & a full set of wheels...

I think the attention to detail is enough to let me in... I still think the engine bay is dirty...

man i sure would love to know where you got your turbo intake pipe that has a spot for the MAF like that..or is that custom.

Post by **Coolwhip** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 2:27 am

we were discussing it in another thread right below... its custom but might be causing some issues to his setup.
