Now well..........you fill in the rest. what should I replace it with? Rebuild it? RB25DET it? RB30ET it? RB20DE it? Or should I thow in a RB30E and buy a R33?

My spare engine is the one thats screwed. My twin cam engine needs some work on it as I'm not totally happy with it. I wanted to rebuild the twincammotor with a rb20 manifold and t28 (cause it will bolt on). I can't afford to do the turbo this yet. If I keep the car I'm going to need to get the gearbox rebuild as it just doesn't feel right. Bloody autos!! How much does an rb30et go for?

You might have trouble finding one..... normally about $1500-1800 complete.

if your planning on spending all this money, why not do something original and make yourself a rb30det, make it a dual cam mate, using the rb25det head, then youll have a quick car.

if only I had money... the twin cammer has gone back to original owner now. If I could just get a hold of a RB30ET that would be sweet.

Twin cam is too dear to finish and complete properly...... for me anyway. I may in the future, but for now I just need a turbo.
