RB30 Turbo / complete drivetrain for sale.

[moodah]

Hi. Im selling my RB30 turbo that I've just pulled for my new engine.

 

NA block (9:1 compression) with turbo.

Located on Northern Beaches, Sydney.

 

 

 

This is the engine sitting in the bay.

 

Note, the bonnet will NOT close with this set up.. Blow through works great but get a side mount intake plenum like this..

 

 

 

The sump has been modified to fit a 280zx.. Its an RD28 sump. Pretty sure its a 7L sump.. It hangs rather low.

The tailshaft has been modified to fit a 280zx.

The ECU has a removable ROM chip so you can install Nistune.

Comes with VL turbo injectors (250cc)

Turbo is a T04e (good condition, minimal shaft play)

The engine uses r31 skyline engine mounts.

The r31 (RP71C) gearbox uses the STOCK 280zx manual gearbox crossmember/mount.

 

 

Im looking for $1,500.

All serious offers considered.

Blow through is for when you are running a carb setup bro.

From memory it was pretty decent... I couldnt give you the exact numbers but im pretty sure it averaged round the 180's.

 

Gearbox is manual, it shifts fine, but it definitely doesnt feel new.. I put it in like that and drove it accordingly.. Its definitely got heaps of life left in it.. Just dont drop the clutch and abuse it.

 

Starts straight away and idles great.

 

There is only 1 problem with the engine, and thats a water leak.. I know its coming from the rear of the engine.. I thought it was the welch plug behind the gearbox which is why i built an entirely new engine (rb26/30). I knew it was leaking back there because coolant would drip out of the bellhousing.

 

Since pulling it out.. The welch plug is fine.. And I've not done any further troubleshooting since.
