there was mention of an engine like this in a magazine recently ( just a small blurb) so whats confusing me is, did this guy get his running (too much to read through right now) or is he not the only one to do this?

its definitely a cool build, but what are the advantages to this over an rb? the only one that i can think of is cost, and thats only if you have like 3-4 spare engines lying around...

I have a feeling this would cost the same or more than most RB engines...

Sick none the less.

Vernal

how the hell did he make that head work and make that valve cover look so flawless

projectRDM

I fucking love it. Advantage over an RB - chain vs. belt. Plus you'd have to buy an RB30 and bore it to get the same cylinder capacity.

Are you fucking serious?

RB in the hamper brodiddily, This shit has a chain on it?

The head is held together by 2ft long threaded rods.

Could not imagine a worse car to drive with more effort into it.

I know one of the builders of that. They are from pheonix. The one makes it up to MN/ND a couple times a year. I know I sold him(goes by McAdam, who happens to be a Genious!) a bunch of parts he was going to take back for that project or the other ones they were working on. He said they were using RB26 cams in that motor.


I have not looked at the info, but pretty sure it did over 400whp.

... No my friend I don't care what kinda "Hybrid" this is with the money it too to build this thing... U could build any Rb series engine to walk all over this "Ka30" and still last longer...

Yeah man I saw the beginning stages of that head and block being built on the Hybrid z forums a couple years back. The guy that built it is a genius.
The idea of that motor was to build a new school LZ engine...
The O.S giken head, and L block were used back in the 70's.
The KAde head is a much better refined version of the GIKEN dOHC CROSSFLOW HEAD.
Pretty amazing work....

This is how the head build started back in 2005.

OS Giken head.

Infinately cooler.

Probably not 3 KA heads sandwiched together

BigVinnie

I'm pretty sure power for power though that 31dett drops more torque than even a modified RB30det build.

McRussellPants

Im pretty sure an RB30 would have a longer powerband.

AFSil80

Good to see this car is still getting attention around the internet. I bought my 90 240 from McAdam. He's a pretty smart person and not afraid to try anything.

Props for building something crazy. I guess if you have lots of time and want to be unique its cool. I would drop a RB in S30 and call it a day.
Some people fail to realize when all is said and done a S30 suspension is a 30+ year old design as well as the chassis. Fact is short of stitch welding and caging the whole car anything over 350-400HP in a S30 will twist the unibody to shit. Used to happen all the time back in the day with the V8 converted cars.
Plus 250HP in a 2350 lb chassis is going to go like stink already. No need for more power in those cars. IMO.

hahahaha.... all that work for what... damn that gets props tho.
Who did all the machine work?? Custom cams?! Man that's just a headache thinking about how much custom work went into this motor.

KidSaru

That could be said for most any car tuning...

im pretty sure this guy did this for shits and giggles and wanted to do something that no one else has done or would even imagine doing

Yeh, the idea started out as building his own crossflow head. I remember this projects beginnings... cool to see he went through with it and its running.

OS giken heads are awesome, but this is cooler because he put the shit together himself.
I do think the valve cover and timing cover are wack though, would be much cooler without the typical s30 redneck style.

This is too awesome.

I didn't understand what Henry meant by L31 with KA heads, but then I skimmed the thread myself and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"woahhh...WOAHHHHHH......" were my exact words.

"im pretty sure this, im pretty sure that"....who gives a shit if an RB can make more power or who can make more torque...shit throw a twin turbo LS7 in the bitch and call it a day. the purpose of the build im sure wasnt to save money...im sure it wasnt even to beat an RB...it was to fabricate your own motor...basically...
that shit is sick and original
