vg30dett into s13

Builds
1

for some time now i have been swapping motors upon motor into my s-chassis , i have had kat, sr20det, rb26dett, rb26det and now i have opted for the vg30dett platform. this car is a drift specific car and i think this motor will be a great asset to drifting with the torque it can produce

here is a few pics of the progress so far, i will document this build on my site as well as updates here on the z club

this is what came out of the bay , because its just not reliable !!! at alll !!!

i have used the z32 crossmember with steering rack modified to fit the s-chassis, and a J30 oil pan for the install

I have had assistance from Kevin @ams who is just as excited about this coming to life as i am

4

Oh there’s where all the pictures are at! Nice job!! Next time I’m down your way I really really really want to stop in and check this project out.

5

that’s a tightass fit, looks nice

6

Looking forward to it! Nice to see that everything fits. Should be a good build!

Not what I like to hear :frowning:

rb’s are very tempermental (my experience is with rb26 motors) my first one blew a hole in the piston, the second one tossed a rod bearing, and the third one just plain exploded. the only way to make those motors reliable is the spend about 6k building the motor and then you might luck out and it will run good for a yr or two.
just my 0.02

i always thought the rb26 was the ballers motor, that or an ls1

I have never tuned an RB26 based vehicle that was on it’s first motor. Ever customer I have ever had with an RB26 has been on their 2nd or 3rd (or more) motor.

They ain’t all that.

10

hm, I never knew the 26 was so fragile on a budget build / lack of serious tuneage. does the same apply to the 25? or is this just because the rb26 internals don’t handle the power well?

so here are some more photos of my progress over the past few weeks, enjoy

13

Will i get to see this? This is awesome looking. Keep up the good work man

14

Okay, what is this…

15

what kind of horsepower are you going to be making with this setup?

16

its the brace to mount the fenders, i quickly sprayed it black so the bare steel wont rust ,

this setup will be in the 400hp club

I like where this is going. I’ve witnessed two Z32s in the family over heat though, that AMS rad though looks like the remedy.

18

Now i see why you were talking me into this…your ridiculous!

nuff said.
