Hi az you may now if youv read on calais turbo my vl died after about a week,so im going to have to bite the bullet,spend sum muny and do it the right way so thats it really,but the decision now is wether to build a RB30ET or RB30DET?i have got all the parts to build a RB30ET bt the stories that iv hurd about the RB30DET just makes me want 1,so any help 2 move my decision either way would be extermly helpful.
Any suggustions or comments are welcome,
Thanks
RB30DET FTW its a better motor, not much more to be said, but just going from rb30et to rb30det isnt a cheap task, needs ecu, loom, head, manifold, intake, bigger turbo?
alot more then simply building a new RB30et and dropping it in .
yer that what i was thinking but im going to have to find a vl turbo ecu or run a link any was but if i just build a stinkn hot rb39et ,balence everythn ,cams etc i should go ***n hard
We all love the ET because when we inialate everyone we allways say year its a 20 year old family car with a 3 litre motor with 1 cam.....................lol
Yea it will just look like another skyline motor in a commy thou !! Not very original compared to a turbo sohc. But yea the dohc would be way easier to exract power. Why not just get another high comp and retard the timing get some one to dyno tune to suit the high comp, Way cheaper ! And will give you time to save/build a serious rb30et/rb30det motor. Oh and run good oil the high comp motors have ****ty oil pressure when warm..
on my hi comp set up,i wldnt have a clue wot went rong,had gud oil in it,the timing was set on about 9 degrees advance,all the stuf,but yeah didnt last long,iv got another rb30e sitting here that i could do another high comp set up on,bt 2 b honst im a bit scrd to do it agian,and if i do anothehigh comp set up,the serious motor will neva be done coz il just be 2 lazy and end up spending all my muny on it,so i think im goting to just build the rb30et,just nice and simple and reliable,well hopefully any way,and az fore the rb26dett,simply to exspensive and if i did find a rb26,2 b honst i would build a rb30 outa it.im neva going to lose muny outa the vl coz im neva gona sell it,its my baby!!!!!!!!!would neva be able to sell her
yer dam right,il drink to that,rb30et it is then,thanks for your help boys,will keep you posted,also does any one no where 2 get some lumpy cams for the rb30et,lumpyer the beta hahaha
Nothing wrong with the single cam engine, but the hard facts are, the twin cam will be more torquey, produce power more easily, and be a smoother running and more efficiant engine.
Anyway, I worked it all out, and if you're planning to do a proper "build" with aftermarket ecu, etc - it's not really a lot of price difference to use a twin cam head.

er..
double overhead cam is better though :/
simple, no ifs or buts.
its like saying a supercharged rb30 is "better" than a turbocharged rb30, no.. its not
but if u dont have money/cant be bothered forking out the extra money (which could be spent elsewhere mind you) sohc rb30 should do of course
but yeah, twincam is the way of the future!
