Meticulously inspected to ensure top performance for enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike, this engine is as used as new.
Key Features of RB30 Engine
- Displacement (3.0 liters): The larger displacement provides a good balance of power and torque, making the engine suitable for both performance and everyday use.
- Configuration (Inline-six): The inline-six configuration is known for its smooth operation and inherent balance, reducing vibrations and providing a smoother driving experience.
- Block and Head Material (Cast iron block and aluminum head): The cast iron block offers durability and strength, which is ideal for handling higher power outputs, while the aluminum head helps reduce weight and improve heat dissipation, enhancing overall efficiency.
- Valvetrain (SOHC, 12 valves): The single overhead camshaft (SOHC) design is simpler and often more reliable than dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) setups. It provides sufficient airflow for the engine while keeping maintenance easier and less costly.
- Bore and Stroke (86.0 mm bore, 85.0 mm stroke): The bore and stroke dimensions are optimized for a good balance between power and torque, ensuring strong performance across a wide range of engine speeds.
- Fuel System (Carbureted, later fuel injection): While the original carbureted system is simpler and easier to maintain, fuel injection systems (used in later versions and aftermarket modifications) offer better fuel efficiency, smoother throttle response, and improved power delivery.
- Compression Ratio (Around 8.3:1): A lower compression ratio makes the engine more tolerant of lower-octane fuels and boosts reliability, especially under high-stress conditions like turbocharging.
- Power and Torque (148 hp and 169 lb-ft, more in turbo variants): The naturally aspirated version provides adequate power for daily driving, while turbocharged variants offer significantly higher performance, making the RB30 suitable for a wide range of applications from street cars to high-performance builds.
- Applications (Used in Nissan Skyline, Nissan Patrol, etc.): Its use in various models demonstrates its versatility and reliability, ensuring that parts and expertise are readily available for maintenance and modifications.
- Tuning Potential (Strong bottom end, hybrid builds with RB25/RB26 heads): The RB30’s strong bottom end can handle high power outputs, making it a popular choice for tuners and performance enthusiasts. Hybrid builds combining the RB30 bottom end with RB25 or RB26 heads can result in engines with excellent performance characteristics, merging the best of both worlds.
