do all RB engines have the same bolt patterns for instinst(sp?) like the RB25 and the RB30?

PS i thinking of doing a RB30DET project in a S13 and doing so research

Also is this any wiring schematics for the RB30, or is the electrical simialer, this is proably another question for meggala

Thanks for all replys

Yes i have searched very few info on this matter and i also went to meggala.com and also read the how-to do RB30DET conversion from both meggala's version and the original version:help

sorry for not being to spefic(sp?) bolt on a KA crossmember with Mckinney Motor Sport mounts. Thanks for all replies

i also know that the RB30 sit high on the S13, read it somewhere on this forum, hopefully the mount and a little cutting could fix it but if it cant then i proably have to think about buying a intake plenum from greddy, i thinking about do this project, but i need to research more..

Does anyone know if the Rb30 engine can be bolted to a RB25 transmission???

question fo meggala, reprograming an RB30 ECU doesnt cost to much in austrailia(sp?) does it?

the rb30 is a single cam motor forget it unless you bolt an rb25 to it but the question would then be why. ecu cant be tuned atm.the front of the cam timing cover hits unless mckimmey has dropped it lower. rb30 can be bolt to rb 25 trann np.cheersmeggala

i want a RB30DET because it is rare, also no replacement for displacement. I am hoping that is respond very will with mods. I figure that a supra engine responds much better to mod because it has more displacement then a skyline engine

if you want the det thats different get your self a power fc for tuning then I think there is a replacment for displacement its called revs :)you can fit rb 26 internals to an rb25 and lots of other tricks 600-700 is very doablecheers

You need a dyno with a wide band O2 sensor. Try getting a RB25 clip and giving the block to a machine shop and have them make a stroker kit for it. Should be around 2 grand with custom forged rods.

Our Kit get you as low as possible less than 1/4 inch clearance on the oil pan. With the GReddy intake you will have plenty of room. We have 4 in to the strut bar and the RB30/RB25 combo is about 1 inch taller I believe...
