will a holley and a set of extractors help my rb30

Got another option.
Bailed on the donor caz of lack of space but my mates mechanic is steering me towards turbo plumbed straight into the carby, bigger jets and a waste gate.

Its still probably 6 months away but much simpler and no need for a computer still

I have heard that turboing a carby engine is possible , but comes with a new set of problems, such as air leaks from the butterfly shaft etc.

Also, does the transfercase bolt up to the mx7 or ford boxes.

Also you will have problems with boost pressure over coming the fuel pressure in the carby and pushing it out. Option 1 is a draw threw carby-turbo setup or option 2 is to incase the carby and pressurize the whole thing. All alot harder than fitting efi

I would have thought that it would be fairly straight forward to get a vl or skyline turbo engine with all the bits you need and build from that. Theres a heap of aftermarket parts and knowledge for those engines with proven results.
A mate has been stock pilling any rb30 turbo engine stuff he comes across so that one day he will do that to his patrol.

Ive been assured its all fine.
Been assured it will be simple and easy to tune. Theres been turbo carbys before EFI

Keep us informed on how you go. Are you planning a draw thru (carby before turbo inlet) setup?

Please don't take offence just trying to be straight forward and honest,
would of thought efi + turbo was a no brainer against carby + turbo set up.

Personally I'd be going with efi +computer+ turbo.
It doesn't come any easyer especially with the RB30.
yes carby and turbo was before this, that's only because reliable efi wasn't invented yet or was in the to hard basket,
back then people didn't understand how to set up etc, might say in it's infancy.
today parts & tuning options especially for a RB30 far out way carby and turbo set up could ever offer.
computers that can be dyno tuned for beta power/torque you wish to achieve with what parts you fit to engine.
have the notion that you'll be doing it cheaper, completely understand where your coming from.
trust me you'll be surprised what can be done off the shelf to what you have if you explore efi+ turbo.
reliable power and cheaper builds never seem to work.
guess your planning on going off rd, you want some reliability.
remember reliable power is always on the lower side of max power.
you don't' have to build big to achieve good usable results.
RB30 ( RB stands for race breed) will take alot of punishment on or off Rd, if built correctly.
Good luck with what you decide to do.
cheers

I dont get it....so a 330 holley will be flooding the engine up until it reaches 6500rpm?

It's more a mixture of, engine max air flow + the max attained revs and what a certain size carb can flow and mix properly for the given combination.

I don't think it does, if so what does RD28 stand for? (basically the diesel version on the rb30)

Or TB42, or TD42?

know I read it somewheres.
Hay It makes sense doesn't it.
any way here's a link for wikipeida on RB motors.
