Message: <blockquote data-quote="gobiz2" data-source="post: 1063611708" data-attributes="member: 105991">Hi :) Let me update you.RIPS is one of the pioneer developers of the Nissan (not OSG) rb30. He has built many cars from the chassis up including RIPS no. 1, Stealth Bomber, Borg and RIPS Drag-R. You should have a look at the build threads at gtr.co.uk...his attention to detail is insane!RIPS has also built a special, one-off rb33 which is a decked rb30 similar in concept to the OSG rb30. This engine is now in Ireland if not mistaken.Nowadays, rb30s are commonly used esp. in Australasia. Hi-Octane uses rb30s in their race-cars and sells a complete engine package.Spool Imports have developed a rb34 stroker kit with a full counterweighted crank.Nitto now also sells a rb32 stroker kit with full counterweighted billet crank.There are now many rb30s in Malaysia. I know one guy who has imported his second batch of rb30 blocks. Apparently all have been sold - 15 blocks if not mistaken. Well, not overkill... will explain why below...and no offence taken <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":biggrin:" title="Biggrin    :biggrin:" data-shortname=":biggrin:" />Hehehehehe here I am <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":biggrin:" title="Biggrin    :biggrin:" data-shortname=":biggrin:" /><img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":biggrin:" title="Biggrin    :biggrin:" data-shortname=":biggrin:" /><img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":biggrin:" title="Biggrin    :biggrin:" data-shortname=":biggrin:" />Well, I wouldn't say rb30 blocks are the best thing since sliced bread....but the main 2 reasons why I love them is:1. CHEAPRb30s initially were FREE in Australia and NZ...apparently you just go to a scrapyard and pick it up. Anyhow, they are definitely cheap in Malaysia now. There's one in Mudah asking for RM1200 nego. I've heard a friend was offered a block for RM800. That's a lot cheaper than even a Waja block.Rb30s have the same exact architecture as rb25 and rb26. Both rb25 and rb26 heads fit straight on without any mods. All ancillaries also fit right on. I've seen one being assembled with my own eyes.They are usually sold as a complete bottom end. So you can just overhaul the bottom end with fresh bearings and piston rings etc. Or even if you want to go forged, several companies from Australia sell rebuild kits quite cheaply. For example, Spool Imports sell a complete kit ie. forged pistons, forged rods, race bearings and thick headgasket for just slightly over AU$2000.RIPS sells standard but refreshed bottom ends for around NZ$4500. They have been proven to take 700hp without problems.Thus usually, a rb30 is cheaper than a rb26 to rebuild.2. TORQUEA rb25 is 2498cc. A rb26 is 2568cc. A rb30 is 2997cc iirc. An engine is an air pump. A bigger engine pumps more air. Jun, HKS, Tomei, Apexi, Brian Crower all sell stroker kits for the rb26. Check how much each costs.This is with the goal to have more torque.The beauty of the rb26 is that it revs high. However this is also a double edged sword. High revs bring severe stresses to the engine. That's why we don't see many standard cars that rev beyond 8000rpm. The rb30, being around 400+cc bigger than a rb26, doesn't need to rev so high. It makes significantly greater torque from the lower rpm regions by spooling the turbo/turbos a lot quicker, since there is significantly greater exhaust output.Therefore and generally, it makes equal power and torque at lower revs. So theoretically it should be a more durable engine.</blockquote>
