Guest Shaddow Edge Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Can anyone point me in the right direction on who to see/read/talk to about putting an RB30 in a 260Z I've got the chance to pick up a second engine with loom and computer from a rear ended car for a couple of hundred dollars and need to find out how hard, and how to do it and what need changing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=23010 the rb30 is a bit taller so custom engine mounts will be in line if you want it to fit under the hood.... i would go with a stand alone ems fro the ease of tuning... if you go with the stock ecu you will have to get it tuned every time you make a change. good luck...BTW pretty much anything involving a rb20, 25, 26 will apply to the rb30.

ZROSSA Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Shaddow...do a search. There is another aussie guy who has a rb30 with the rb25 head floating around here. I wouldnt be surprized if there was a few differences in the sumps and engine mounts. Also the rb30 might have used G.M. injection. This can be tuned relativly inexpensively. I could be compleatly wrong. I havent seen one of these engines for a good 6 - 7 years now and Stony is a guru for shure, but just think about what went into those era c/dore chassis, 5.0 v8, 3.3 pushrod 6, straight 4, rb30 and over here the rb20. Mounts have got tp be different. Happy hunting! Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
