The 3 litre block was only available in Aussie made Commodores IIRC, Not much chance of obtaining 1 in the US. I can see the yanks thinking WTF is an rb30.

RB30DET is a hybrid motor. You take the low compression RB30E block and use the heads from a RB25 or RB26 and their turbos. The draw back is the internals are not a strong and will not rev as high.

Yeah I know that. Fairly common knowledge. If you get an ET block the internals pretty strong unless you wanna get massive power. All the drawbacks you have mentioned are easily addressed when building the engine itself (forged pistons, head work ect) so meh.

And no way I would use the turbos of a 25 or 26 lol. Why go to the effort of building a 30 and throw tiny turbos on it?

Sub'ed Great work so far, keep it up. I had a 1jz in my supra before I came to love my 8. The Jz series are great engines.
