Hey all CT, iv recently purchased a s2 rb30 motor which i am going to re build and convert to turbo. I dont have heaps of cash so its going to be a pretty simple conversion (not looking for big power at the moment) Just standard. First Q? I need a new cam as the motor was minus it. Any sugestions? Will i need to change other bits if i get a performance cam? Second Q? Will i need to change the pistons & rods? I know i will be needing a turbo, oil & water feed lines, manifold, injectors. What else will i be needing or is that pretty much it? Cheers TOM.

search turbo conversion on here will have all answers. if u get performance cam u will need the blocks machined to match.u dont really need pistons etc on std set up.

Cheers ty, What if i get a standard VLT cam, will anything need to be done then?

I doubt it, i have one in the shed i wont be using if you need. I'll doulble check its a turbo one actually but it came out of my vlt

Cheers, also the turbo blocks and n/a blocks? any difference?

I will have a cam up for sale soonish, its a cam 1 stage up from standard spec. I think it's done like 7000k's max. Let me know if your keen mate.
