My LE 87 rb30 VL :)

[nasty1]

I hate you!! Mine's only a series 1, but I looked at so many and they were all shit, so I had to settle with second best, well, I settled for the dog's leftovers, Auto, non turbo Executive

The only reason I haven't turbo'd mine is that heaps of people who have converted theirs say "You have to do this, this, and this and bam there you go" but then other's who also converted say "nah man you need this, this, this, this, few of these, this this and maybe this, oh and this and this" and something that can be done for $800 by Joe Blow, becomes a $1,500 thing for Joe Doe.

shit turbo conversion for $800.put me down for ten conversions lol.

Hurry up and turbo it 87rb

hmm, ive heard that u get a t piece from the oil sender, i did that for my old tg gemini and ran the oil return down the dipstick LOL and kept the dipstick in the bay, pull hose out check oil put hose back dodgey but never failed. and some turbos dont need water so you can get away with just oil lines, the rest is a piece of cake.

stop crying and turbo it,,, i did the conversion 2 years ago and still going strong. hahah

PICTURE TIMMMME. red did the ignition timing and its spot on, i checked it with a timing light after but still wont tick over so doing cam timing next, i turned it off one day and it wouldnt start the next day and kept front firing.

[vn_v6]

setting the ignition timing on an rb30 without a timing light

turn the bottom pulley (Crankshaft pulley) till you see a series of marks, there will be a little marker on the timing cover, line the first mark up with this little notch. your are either at top dead centre, or bottom dead centre, i placed a screwdriver down the spark plug hole of cylinder one and slowly turned the bottom pulley, if your at top dead centre the screwdriver gets pushed up, dodgey, but it worked for me! i checked my timing after this with a timing light and it is spot on 0 degrees!

undo your dizzy cap, there is two phillips head screws, your bay should look like this after you get it off, dont take the leads off if you dont have to, saves u mixing them up.

now undo the bolt holding the dizzy to the head, and pull it out of your engine, you will see two dots on the gear that goes into the head, one deep one and another one to the right of it and slightly above it, and youl also see a line, what you do is you turn the dizzy to line up the shallow dot with the line on the dizzy itself. (mine is lined up on the wrong dot in the photo)


now when you put slide the dizzy back into the head, line up the line on the dizzy to the casting mark on the head. then gently push it in, the dizzy will turn about 1/4 turn as it slides in.



if you have done this correctly and your engine is at exactly top dead centre, this is the position your dizzy should be in. say hello to 0 degrees timing

[nasty1]

if you only took dizzy out why are you messing with base timing for?

and you can take leads of its a two second thing to put them back into correct position as the cap is numbered

[vn_v6]

i think the cam skipped a notch as its pretty loose. and my cap isnt numbered

[vn_v6]

what else could cause the car to run the not run after and front fire out the airbox? its getting fuel, spark and has compression seeing it ran before.

[vn_v6]

stripped out the interior today, cleaned the carpet gave the seats a good clean, suprisingly didnt find to much crap under it all. going to be fun putting it all back in tomorow! re did the dodgey wiring to the rear speakers done by previous owner. removing the lpg next weekend hopefully to

[vn_v6]

have been busy for the past week, finally found some time to tinker with the vl, havent hit the nail on the head with why its not starting anymore, but im waiting on a gates timing belt, a turbo mani, and a t3 once it starts, LET THE FUN BEGIN
