rb30det vs rb26dett

[supergoku4]

So i was searching on the net and found this australian site on building your own rb30det hybrid. From what i saw, it seems a much cheaper, and powerful solution than a rb26dett. I'd like to know your input on this and would appreciate links to any site that offers rb25de (n/a of course) or links to getting the aussie's rb30 head gaskets.

bore size is the same as a 25, 26. the head gasket for those should work. I beleive there are slight differences in the water passages and you have to modify the timing belt pulley position in the block.

Hard to get a RB30 in the states...But I agree, the RB30 would be my choice.

rb30 in s 13you decide the rb30 in this pic is non turbo btw

I haven't even heard of an RB30. And those s13's look way too cramped. Still would be cool.

Or how about the 3L bottom end with the rb26 head try-9 runs it daily and turns mid 9's in the quarter. I've had the pleasure of being abused by this monster....ah the pure joy of it all.

RB30 engines only came in Single Cam configuration.They were in the Skyline & the Holden Commodore, which also had a Turbo Version, which had a stronger block, crank etc & this is the best one to get for mods.

You can now buy kits to change them to Twin Cam, & the RB25 head fits the easiest. Everything lines up, but you need different manifolds.
