- RB30ET VN! Welcome to Part 1 of my BT1 VN Commodore RB30 + turbo conversion. I'm going to go through the process and explain as much as possible as I'm going (hold tight as I tend to over explain when I'm saying everything I'm thinking haha). I've done a lot of engine conversions before but I haven't put an RB30 in a VN before so I'm learning a bit as I'm going.
I'm bringing this forgotten BT1 VN commodore back to life in the best way possible. Its getting a spicy engine to suit the rear end. Tubbed, shortened diff, 325 tyre, coil overs, 4 link. Is it over kill? Absolutely - for now anyway. Make sure you hit the subscribe button to stay up to date!
Welcome to a new video series everyone, I bought an absolute gem (may or may not be a piece of crap) BT1 VN Commodore. It was abandoned and left for dead, will it ever run again? Join me on the journey to bring it back to life and restore it back to a running driving road car. With a hint of race car thrown in the mix.
Please let me know what you think, hit the like button or leave a comment.
Thanks for watching everyone!

I should add, I know a could have used a bolt in radiator like a VL rad. But I have a pile of old Corolla radiators and this is a budget build, it cost me $0.00 to fit this radiator haha 👌
Looks like it was made to be in there with that Holden writing embossed into red on the rocker cover.
Great work Jarrad Go the RB30 looks good in the engine bay. Keep the videos coming...
Awesome work mate. I never knew a VL engine was so easy to put into a VN. It was meant to be 👍
Yeah i have one use vl kframe, radiator and gearbox cross member. Tailshaft is vl front half vn back half bolts together. Manual pedal box from a vs for hydro clutch.
You've done it again, Jarared, so simple mods at a budget price, and no big dollar $$$ tools, also thank you for taking the time to explain what parts you fit to make it all come together, could/would let us know a bit more about the $200.00 eBay Turbo. eg: the company on eBay, the size , who long for the delivery and how you decided to buy that one, as you said way way too big?? AS for buying off, eBay is new to me, thank you. Looking forward to your next video,
Awesome mate, watching this because I love cars and fabrication and have been watching your channel since the beginning. Plus you’re from SA mate. The great state. So I’ve got to support a local👌
Following the journey, and love that i am actually learning things along the way 🤙
I love the videos mate. I'm from Adelaide. Closer to the barossa tho. Iv got a pair of VN tailights I'll be happy to donate to you to keep the budget build in budget
(I noticed it has faded vp lights)
Thanks mate I appreciate it! I do have some other VN lights for it, I’ve been collecting bits and pieces as I find them. Thanks for the offer though! I do appreciate it.
Mint project m8 👍👍👍
Awesome! I'm watching to follow the journey, but it's always good to pick up some extra knowledge.
Primo build bro from NZ
Budget stuff is the best I reckon. Anyone can throw money at stuff but I enjoy seeing the skill, an how ya solve stuff when inevitably dramas appear during the build. Can relate
Keep up the gd work lovin' the dirty 30 build already. Keen to see wt u do with the trans an the wiring - wt stays vn elec/what goes vl.. 🤙
Love the vid bro. Love the build. Backshed builds are the best
Great content mate!
Cant wait to see the top of the line ebay turbo build. 😂
😂
You can get a rb30 trigger kit that runs off cam gear so no need for dizzy
Nice 👍
Love it, as you know my drift car is 30 powered. Im enjoying this 👌
Get a vr commodore radiator will fit straight in and hose locations are very close
Cool vid 👍🏾
Bonnet struts would help 🤷🏻♂️
Lots of progress! 👍🏼 I’m guessing the VN is just a continuation of the VL frame as such, which is why the subframe and everything fitted up? I imagine it would probably not fit straight into a VR/VS?
They actually fit through to VS. essentially the same chassis all the way though haha
Mate put a built RB30 into a VS Ute with Plasma-man 14:10 forward facing Plenum and big Turbo and there was heaps of room for the turbo.
Did he have to manufacture engine and gearbox mounts? I imagine the VS is a different design underneath than a VL/VN? I like the VS model, so I’m interested to know how difficult it would be to transplant an engine like this into one.
@@djnmv pretty sure it bolted straight in but I’ll find out for you.
Cough, cough, RB25 head, cough, cough🤣
Haha, I’m keen to see what the single cam is like. I have owned RB25s before, but then again, Let’s see where it leads…
It's gotta be manual..
