Unfortunately, I don't know where to find the dimensions of the RB series engines. Being a motor that never officially saw US shores, may be tough to find. All I know are the displacements, which you prolly know by their names <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Hopeful:
THE RB series engines were basically made popular by the Nissan Skyline GTR, top end sportscar sold only overseas.

Breakdown of engine codes:
example VG30DETT

VG = engine's name essentially
30 = displacement, 3.0 liters
D = Dual overhead camshafts (per cylinder bank). Left blank for SOHC engines, and I've seen a V for variable valve tming engines (SR20VE)
E = Electronic fuel injection
T = Turbo
T = Another turbo

ttt

anyone?
i understand where the rb's come from, that they were skyline motors, that the rb20 and 25 are r32 and 33/4 beasties respectively, that the 26tt is a gtr motor

i am looking to see how terribly it would effect the balance of an s14, i'm just looking, and trying to increase my knowledge base before i do something stupid &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

The RB20's I believe were found in R32's.

The RB25's are GT-S's rather than GT-R's
