Well I just started a job at a machine shop this week building mostly V8 motors and Nissan RB30 engines. I'm only a first year apprentice hopefully I can pick up the skills quick and be able to build a nice motor for myself.
I know this isn't related to our beloved e30, but I thought heck we all love cars and I'm thinking about putting in one of these motors in my car.
Onto the details...
Car: Holden Commodore VL turbo wagon
Engine: Nissan Rb30det (came out factory in these cars)
Internals: ? Not sure of exact details but this motor has basically had everything done to make it stronger and more powerful.
Turbo: Garrett GT40/42
Manifold: Custom built at our shop along with the intake plenum
Software: Microtech lt8
Exhaust: 3.5" stainless steel turbo back system with gutted out cat and hi flow muffler
Drivetrain: Fully manualized auto with transbrake and standard borgwarner rear diff with a full spool and 3.45 final drive
Other mods: Roll cage, Centreline Convo Pro wheels with Mickey thompson street semi-slicks
Goals are for this car is to run high 8 seconds down the 1/4 mile. Last night it just got tuned and put down 564whp on pump fuel untill it maxed out the 2 bar map sensor map sensor. My boss thinks it should make 620whp with the larger 4 bar map sensor. He is also has the car 90% ready for e85 so we think it could make 750whp which we'll be using when we take it to the strip.

This is still a street car he drives it into work every now and then. But not too often just so he doesn't cop too much attention from the police down here.
Here is an e30 to keep you guys smiling. My e30 infact.
I have a donar shell at home, that I hope to put one of these rb30 motors into. Not as this one though crazy though.
Give me your thoughts
