how we doin, i recently purchased an rb30 a8 block and a n/a rb30 complete running enginge,im new to all this and planning to build a vl turbo from scratch and was enquiring about a few things
=where and how much to acid dip/bore/hone and ballance??
=exactly what am i goin to need for 280=350kw of power in regards to internals??
=how much can be done physically @home( i want 2build it myself and learn)
=whats the diffrence/pro/cons of rb26 head/twin cam
thats all the questions i got atm, and still do searches on ct so any help would be apriciated
use the search button man , theres a few threads covered on this ... but quickly
if your opting for 280-350 , alot of people do this on a standard bottom end , in saying that its only if your on a budget
keep the single cam head, power figures and stats show you thats fine for the power your after , twin cam heads are a little bit more tricky to fit etc etc
learning at home is easy i practically did everything to my engine for a re-build except for machining and acid dipping. but if this is ur first re-build get a workshop manual to look at it for torque wrench specs etc and where the piston rings gaps sit etc etc.
Make sure u mark everything extactly where u got it from unless ur putting something new in to replace it. mark bolts where they came from,screws where they came from,con-rods what number cylinder they were sitting in and the con rod caps keep them with the same con-rod and they will have numbers on the side of them u have to kepp matched up, the pistons and the order they were sitting in the block, etc etc
the workshop book is going to help u heaps to rebuild the motor, and again lol dont forget to label everythign !! unless bein replaced. cause i have seen people not numbering rod bolts and when they go to put the block together they wonder why some bolts arnt fitting to the con-rods or why the bolts are stripping when they go to tighten them up, cause there in the wrong order.
