guys my old man's mate has told me he is starting his new project. will be a rb30 in a hq panel van. as far as i know! he will be running--dont know if all this is true or not! hense the reason of this post rb30 block rb26 head custum 900hp rated turbo's x2 his using a 4 bolt main crank shaft out of a truck engine will have pistons and rods all the goods he wants to run around 32-34 psi out of the engine- aiming for low 8's (apparently)!! engine will set him back around $25,000--$30,000 ?? so my question is, can a rb30 even make 2000hp? to be honest it would be much better going with a r33 gtr or ls block wouldnt it??

Sounds like your dad's mate is talking out of his arse. Probably is building an RB30.. but his story is obviously exagerated to all hell to try and impress you. By the looks of it - it has.

doubt we will ever see an RB30 go anywhere near 2000, its not a 2jz ignore what your dads mate said, hes probly just talking straight out of his arse. i had a guy approach me randomly one night when i was putting the bins out, telling me about his GTR that runs 80psi, and runs 8.2 down the quater, but hes gonna buy new turbos that can run 120psi, they were special race turbos. might be a relative of the bloke you know...

I'd estimate that MRPSI's engine would be well over the $100,000 mark to build. That has nearly double the cubes and twin GT47's running around 30psi. As for racing it and running a time... how long have you got to get it on boost? Does that bring this $30,000 3 litre into perspective?

Oh ben that must be the same friend on the people that say it's 35psi from each turbo in a twin turbo set up so it's running 70psi of boost ;-)

or his stories might be relevant to his brain capacity... ie... out of this world ***in ****. wat a dumb **** Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
