ITT: Powerful RB26, inside a DMCC S14, Porting and flow-benc

[archaeicbloke]

Yesterday I went to a local fabrication shop (AVFAB) to see what they've been working on for the upcoming season, and get a glimpse into some of the work they can do, like most of you I'm always looking out for who's gonna be able make stuff when we need it.

Anyways, I ended up doing a write up on it cause things got really interesting as we got into the story of how these guys are turning a simple S14 into a DMCC drift machine, oh btw... they're using a built up RB26... and converting it to a big single turbo!

I also got a chance to speak with an expert on porting and flow-benching heads (TK Raceheads), which was really interesting too!

you can check out the whole story here: http://skyline-life.blogspot.com/2011/0 ... nd_16.html

I also made short video intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWHctRX7Amw&hd=1

and heres some cool pics from there also, Just thought some of you might be interested!







For those wondering, "ITT" = In This Thread....

I really like the way these guys are taking on the challenge of getting into DMCC, it really gives a true sense of community and reminded me of the fun times at the track, and all the amazing energy that comes with it. Glad to see people coming together to help each other accomplish their dreams!

good lord, is that the end of a valve rammed into that piston like a saw blade haha? that thing went grenade bigtime!

hhahahaha yea pretty awesome damage, those are just pistons and valves Tom from TK pulled out of old motors before rebuilding them... I've never seen a piston melt like that before tho eh? lol

Some one on another forum told about those messed up pistons, apparently each one has a unique story.... A B16 miss-shifting his down shift --> ~12k rpm = that piston + valve.
VR6 tuned lean = this piston.
