yes i have done up my NA rb30, it still retains the single cam and anything that could be worked has. got a aftermarket ecu keeping it all in check. the next step for me is to get rid of my current cam and look into another cam and possibly twin XF TB if i can find another one for a decent price. ooo also with that setup maybe you would get 120rwkw maybe...... also the turbo injectors and fuel pump are over kill. the NA injectors can handle up to approx 220rwkw. i have seen a few na rb30's in skylines that have some decent power but most have or are running th erb25de combo. and there is one guy in the skyline forums who claims the top spot with i think its round 160rwkw out of a rb30.

the standard boxes are alright but they **** them selfs really easy (with high power N/A or burnouts etc etc), so i got a rb25 box there a lot stronger and i think they can handle 600hp

Not sure what the laws are reguarding conversions, but perhaps try a later model 6? ecotec etc drop straight in with minor mods, and already have the power of the standard 30et. Then you've got your VG30's, alloytecs, Ford i6's, N/A 2jz's

I thought straight 6s have more torque than a V6s and have a longer stroke then V6s. straight engines are narrower then V obvisously, which gives the car a narrower pitch centre what is important for performance cars right?

You won't need an R33 box for an NA RB30E, it won't generate the torque to kill a decent condition MF5 (provided you drive without thrashing it). NA RB30E injectors won't handle 220rwkw.

na injectors wouldnt really hold around near 120ish rwkw which i assume would be nearish to the rb30et when produced otherwise they would of used those injecters in the et

Has anyone actually made any decent power out of a n/a rb30?? Does anyone have any dyno sheets, i am just curious to see how much power it is possible to get out of an rb30 without forced induction.
