Rollz94 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hello everyone. I'm on the hunt for a ae71, I have found one in Adelaide however it has a rb30 in it. Does anyone know if the engine mount points on the shell would have been modified to fit the 31 cross member...? Reason for this question is I want to put a 20v 4age in its place. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Q Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Depends on how the conversion has been done, it's likely that the engine mounts from the crossmembr have been changed. Be very carefull though as they may have chopped into the transmission tunnel, firewall and other things to make it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19914afc Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Should just keep the 30 in there if a good job has been done, put a turbo on or a rb25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Should just keep the 30 in there if a good job has been done, put a turbo on or a rb25. I tend to agree with this as well. Sure there are plenty of acceptable arguements for not doing it, but if you are buying it already done, i bet it would be fun to drive.

It's_AUDM_Yo Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 + 1 for just keeping it RB if its been done half decent and could be reasonably fixable. even a RB20det. RB30s are junk there power out put is barely better than a 4age. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28kRg0LwrAo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Keep the 30, put a turbo on it and be happy with over 300hp at the treads with a few other minor mods. Edited January 14, 2013 by Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's_AUDM_Yo Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 That was mainly just to show that its been done. It didn't look like he was trying to slide or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
