hey guys, im in the process of building the engine for my corolla.
its a rb30et atm but im thinking that im going to have to put a rb25 head onto it to get the revs that are needed. im new to the drifting scene and not sure which way i should go.
the oer think in interested in is how muchh work is involved in fitting the 25 head o the 30 bottom end.
im no worried about the forged things that i have to put in the bock.
i was also wondering if you have to fit the de or det head on. it is going to turbo'd.
your thoughts and experiances are appreciated.

isn't the rb30ET already turbo?

I would concentrate on getting skilled up with drifting in the corolla with the current engine.

then worry about what to put in it.

how's a twin cam head gonna make it rev harder? wtf. rb30's don't rev.. its the stroke of the engine... you don't need to rev rb30's anywho.. they make plenty of torque, pick the right sized turbo and you'll be right.. its torque you want for drifting.. not outright power imo. and to answer your question, any rb20 head, or non vct rb25 head.

i don't think an auto 4k will drift too well.

yes its turbo already. but only single cam.
fitting a 25 head will give it twin cams and the position of the spark plugs will let the engine rev higher.

I would think that an RB30; cast iron block and all would be an absolute boat anchor in the front of a poor little Corolla.

You want to have a balanced chassis for drifting not an unbalanced one.

the engine is going to be moved back into the cabin of the vehicle about a foot and a half to get some of the weight off the front wheels. diffrent struts and springsin the front to compensate.
in interested in engine details not vehicle details thanks

wtf? position of the spark plugs? bahahaha. madshit. i hope your not building this thing yourself. if you are, stop before you hurt yourself.

u obviously don't know anything about engines.
pull your head in cock head.

will do.. (continues screwing engines together)

hahahaha funny stuff.... but yes rb20 or non vct rb25:)

So if i move my spark plugs, my engine will rev harder?

Can i put them directly into the fuel tank? Seems the logical place to create good "spark"..........good spark = crazy revs right?

is the OP serious??

i am thinking not with the half assed details.


look at how much trouble there is with understeer putting a RB25DET in an S13.

yet this guy wants to put and RB30 in a rolla with a short wheel base
