hey guys i got this quote back from my mechanic today tell me what u think (rb30et) Chemical clean block rebore block face block cracktest crank grind crank dismantle, asseemble long motor, check all clearances, set deck height, modify studs to suit block, fit timing and camshaft dial, paint balance engine assembly service head mild tidy of ports and set up springs to suit camshaft and boost JE forged pistons and rings H beam conrods, ARP main stud kit, ARP head stud kit, Gaskets set, MLS race head gasket, Race Bearings, Timing kit, Vernier camshaft gear Crow camshaft crow performane valve springs stainless exhuats va;ves stainles intake valves $10500 is this reasonably priced, what do u think i wont need(can remove from list) as im onlly chasing 300-400rwkw?

some people will tell you that you only need a standard bottom end to make 300+ rwkw... are you going oversize with the valves, or are they standard size? $10500 seems a little expensive to me, although if you get all of the above done it should be a very strong motor.

yer i dont think i will need it that strong so i dont wanna smash out 10500 bux when i wont use it to its full potential, what things do i not need most would u say??

I have a built rb30 with larry perkins racing forged pistons, new stock rods, oring block, was told the block was brand new, been told done 500kms but i would say its more like 4000kms, removed head ect for inspection. over sized valves an head work. I want 3k for it. alot cheaper then what ur looking at!

have u had it running yet

looks exxy to me

joe just get rid of the rb30 completely. an rb25 has ample power/response for the street, no point building a 300+ rwkw motor for use in kal, no track etc makes it pointless. just drop the 25 in, bolt on a decent turbo and manifolds, up the boost, get nistune and a tune done in perth and you'll be set. This will cost half what that long motor will and will be fun as hell to drive. Will net you like 300+hp with a decent turbo and some more boost. Mine made 270hp at the rear wheels on 10 psi with a hi-flow and went pretty hard on the street for what it was.

25 + 35r = 400hp that's micks promise you will need bigger injectors manifolds and after market ecu and that's reliable power all day every day !!!

got pretty much that built and only cost 6 grand.

yeh ****ing oath 25 + turbo of your choice/ecu/injectors and you'll be under your 10g budget and going heaps faster so many good turbos to choose from like gt3071/3076/35r/3540 and all with bulk dyno results available on skylines australia! theres a thread on antilag about this bloke called simon's green r32 rb25, who ran an ultra low 11 on et streets using a really simple but well thought out combination- given, that he was running a mix of e85 and bp98, but if i was gonna do another setup i'd copy the **** out of his. something along the lines of china greddy copy manifold, 6boost ex. manifold, kinugawa ebay turbo (t67 sized), external gate, poncams? and supporting mods. but with that said, there certainly is a great number of people about who've bolted good gear onto stock rb30's and run great numbers. set of arp studs and a good head gasket and roll the dice, if its a good tune she'll be right.

Do it Joe, just go the 25 route! So many proven examples out there. The motors are cheap too. Can put it in as is, save some more coin then get the bolt on's done at a later date if you need too. You wont be disappointed! Ring around the import shops in perth, find a motor, get it put on a pallet and sent up here. Freight is cheap too.
