yes they do
RB30 engine weight. ... top calculate the weight of the crate...Im assuming the Engine minus exhaust man & rocker gear is around 150kg mark.
why not get yourself a service manual and read the step by step instructions!?
Well I had a look on wiki and it said the stock VL Commodore has a Nissan RB30 engine and it makes around 170 HP.
remove the seal and slide it to the side
Use a rattle gun if the engine is out. If its still in the car disconnect the disributer. Put a powerbar and socket on the pulley and lean on the xmember. Crank the engine over over for a split second. Heaps more info on forums. Google it or look on the gtr forum.
38ft/lb for the mains
u can bolt a turbo on a standard rb30, but yes it will prematurely destroy the engine, You should really rebuild the engine for it but at the very least, you should take the head off and have it re-faced and o-ringed and then install it back on with a decompression plate (available from repco). You should only do this to a motor that is in good nick to begin with, Its a bit silly to get an old engine with 300,000 k's on it and make it work harder all of a sudden. After the turbo's bolted on make sure the timing is NO MORE than the stock amount (i think its 15' btdc for an RB30). and use premium 98 octane fuel, This should eliminate any Detonation issues, But to be sure, you should check audibly by stopping on a steep hill and then flooring it to put the motor under load and listed for any pinging. Change the exhaust to at least 2 and a half inches and use a high flow cat and mandrel bends. You will not need any back pressure in the exhaust anymore because the turbo will provide this for the engine now. Start with low to moderate boost (maybe 6psi). and you should be tyre frying with decent reliability. Need any more info ask me. Cheers
