i have given up sweet life and put all my pennies in line for the rb26dett s12 silvia.
i have been driving it for a couple of years now, and i think it is a great engine. i can post pictures here if someone tells me how?(not too good with computers, maybe better with cars?)

That is a damn nice swap though. I am drooling all over the place.

I cant believe they fit both of those turbos in it. I would have thought the only way to squeeze it in there would be single.

Did you spin alot on that first 1/4 run?

yes, i am driving on street tires(toyo r888), it is a real STREET CAR. i think those HKSgt2530-turbos are enough for the normal roads... not going for single, at least not yet

There's an rb30 and rb25 NEO in s12's?

gerrybgMay 22, 2008, 7:17 am · #13

There's at least one current rb25 neo s12 here in Australia, belongs to 'Lister' on the aus12 forums. No ones done a hybrid RB30+det into an s12 AFAIK but I've seen them here in Aus spec R31 skylines and others,Rb30 block + RB25det head, (RB30e's are common as dirt here so that part is easy to find).

DraconisMay 22, 2008, 9:27 am · #14

RB20 and 25 in the States and a 30 is somewhat in the progress of being worked on... I'll be going out east to assist. 25 Neo, 20 , I think a 25, and someone is working on a 30 down in Aus.

RB30det is in the works. I now have in my hands upgraded connecting rods. PM sent regarding RB30e block.
