X30 block with y26 head

(1/5) > >>

olm:
Hi, I have a Y26se engine and I wold like swap to x30xe, but, my engine has low milleage, and used x30 has high milleage, so I thought that use a x30 block, with new rings and bearings and use my heads with new gaskets, how would that be? Compression Ratio?

Doctor Gollum:
Waste of money, either fit the 3.0 with all the 2.6 electrical (sensors/coil packs/throttle) and call it done. Or if you are determined to spend money, by a crate 3.2 and fit that ;)

Bit of a moot point though, seeing as you're on internet rather than earth, so you won't be able to drive it ::)

Kevin Wood:
If you put 2.6 heads on a 3.0, you'll end up with a dangerously high compression ratio, IMHO.

Fit the 3.0 as it is with the 2.6 ancillaries and loom. Mile4age doesn't really trouble these engines.

Daz did this to my cousins 2.6 when the bottom end went , 2.6 head on 3.0 block and it ran sweetly with no ill effects

As Kev sugested above, Daz fitted the 2.6 plenum and other DBW bits to the 3ltr block and ported head from Obi  ;)

And yes, it did go very well  :D :y
