Hi there,

I just bought a RB V12 J3. Can anyone tell me anything about this motor. Like are they easy to tune, how is mileage?, what's the best way to break them in etc etc. This is my first RB motor so i'm looking forward to it.

Also what pipe is best for this motor?

I am rebuilding and blown rb c6 for a buddy.

Pretty sure after inspection that novarossi 221p parts will fit.

Can anyone confirm?

If a 221p is what I think it is and it's an older C6 then I believe it will work.

It part from this motor....

I've looked on the web site but can't seem to find any info for a V12 J3. But i could find a V12 R3. Have i got my wires mixed? Can someone please give me any feedback at all on these motors what ever they may be R3 or J3

dont no about the j3 but on my rb r3
the 2630 is a good alround pipe but thirsty
i run the nova 2601 also the rb 2604 and the nova /max 2602
all work realy well...
ive also run the sirio 2611 with good results
i cant seperate them they all seem about the same on power and fuel
except the the 2630

Ok so it must be the R3 then. I bought it for AUD$250 but i am actually picking it up on thrsday so i don't have it yet. Are they any good?

I'm going to have to get the right pipe so i might stick to getting one of those rb ones except for 2630, thanks for that

Brad,

I will make some assumptions knowing where you mostly shop and say that you are actually getting an RB J3, not R3. These motors are based on the original V12 and are a solid mid level performer. If my information is right these motors were a special order for the Australian market so I don't think you will find anything on the RB site.

Pipes to consider.....

RB/Nova 2630, but you need to match this pipe with the right header. Don't be too scared to get one of these.

RB 2604 is another good choice as is the 2611, which is a sirio based pipe.

Once again, knowing where you shop speak to the boyz about an ATS pipe. Cheaper and it will provide you with some good results considering how much racing you do and the motor you are purchasing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Chris this has cleared things up for me. Dave said it was a J3 but when i couldn't find any info on it i thought maybe he got it wrong, you know what he's like
I have one of the ATS pipes so i will give it a go when i get it tomorrow, can't wait

Thanks

Last weekend the 1st place in A level and A final took the RB R3 stock with Xray NT1 stock car here in Greece at the Gas Open the most famous event with 13 Xray in A final....

Nice one...

Ok so i finally picked it up. It's the V12 J3 speedline. I'm waiting to get the NT-1 so i can put it in that

Can't wait

so you got the xray congradulation as for the engine it sure is a fast one...

Nah not yet but it wont be long now

The motor looks good can't wait to see the power it puts out

i got a RB r3 and i need a back place screw set. the part number is 01700-085. i have looked on multiple sites and i cant find. the only place i seen it is on ashfordhobby but they are out of stock. can someone help me with a link to where i can find one? is their an other screw set that is compatable?
