rb30et

[Turb0wned]

would like to know what you guys know about this motor i know it came in the 86-88 or so chevy LS1's and nissan sold it to chevy

now has anyone ever attempted this swap into a 240? i know parts must be a ***** and theres like no info on it compared to sr,ka-t,rb ect... but does anyone have any other info?

[cdlong]

the only chevy LS1 i've ever heard of is in the front of a corvette.

RB30ETs only came in australian cars that i'm aware of.

[JDMEnthused]

RB30ET's were made By Nissan and were sold to GM's australian division Holden to power the Commordore i believe and one or two other Holden's

came in camaros, too.

are you high? The RB30s were built for Holden by Nissan and came in their commodores in Australia. The swap is the same as for any RB, the tall deck will likely be a problem, get a hammer.

what do you want to know, i have built one and am now building one with a rb25 head (straight bolt on)

they only came out in oz as the old holden 202 efi version was a heap of crap compared to the nissan quality of the time. its a pity they didnt keep them as this engine is one of the most developed mainstream and affordable engines you can get. often described as best bang for your buck around.

I'm working on a similar engine. Do you know of a stateside dayco belt supplier?

came in camaros, too.

also the firebird and the new GTO (till 06, now its a 6.0l)

the rb30 is not a chevy motor.

by any chance you could ship me a rb30e (na) block?

Good question? It would be great if we can count on someone to ship us a couple of parts, enough to make something for themselves but not break our pockets.

[ISL33P]

there is a local guy who has brand new block for only approximately $AU500.

I could arrange for shipment of complete engines, but i can imagine it wouldnt be cheap. best be done in large numbers, say 5-10 at a time.

I know of a recently rebuilt one that has had approx 6000 miles and made just under 400rwhp which is going for $AU3500 with gt35/40, externnal wastegate and custom exhaust manifold an abslute bargain for what it is.

I have a Dayco part no of 94407 for the belt if you are doing a rb25/30.

[Edited nonsense.... ] $AU3500 = $2632.
