Max's RB Build

[ralphsdiorama]

I made some progress with my build today and figured I should finally get my thread started. First off, my names Max and I have an unhealthy obsession with 240s. I had a black chuki in high school that I swapped an sr20 into, the car that essentially gave me the 240 feva.



Last Winter I happened upon a great deal on a kouki and figured it was time to switch things up. mmmmm kouki.



Anyway, I was completely set on a rb25 for the heart of the project until fate gracefully dropped a rb26 into my hands. Short story was: guy had R33 rb26 in s13, had all accessories for swap, most of which work for the s14, great price, sold, in my garage, I cried a little Here are the specs for my build so far.

Specs:R33 Rb26dettRB25 TransmissionStock Bottom end1.5mm oil restrictorN1 oil pumpN1 water pumpoem HGarp headstudsWelded oil panRebuilt head (mostly oem)HKS gt2530sTomei dumpsand more

I got the oil pan, water pump, and oil pump done a few weeks ago. Today I finally got the head on and threw the turbos on. Although I had done an engine swap with the s13 I had never until this point messed with taking an engine apart. Its a love hate relationship with a lot more loving to come when the swap is done. Here are some pics I took of it tonight. Enjoy.











With progress I will post more pics.

oh so sweet, glad to see you joined the dark side... (i think everyone says that when you are venturing into a new arena)... oh well. :\

Looks to be a great foundation for some greatness.

Nice work on notching the oil pan too

i didnt notch my rb26 pan but other then that id say you should be able to make 500whp with a single walboro and minimum 600cc injectors. keep us posted

[ralphsdiorama]

I'm most likely going to go with dual walbro 255s and 1000cc injectors so I can run E85. We have it everywhere out here, might as well take advantage of it

[Darius]

Sound decision. But the walbro might run out of steam before you hit 500hp on ethanol. I'd have to look into it a little further to be sure or maybe someone else has gotten that kind of power out of ethanol and a single walbro??

[ralphsdiorama]

well thats why I said dual or twin walbro 255s. From my research two should be more than enough.

[Darius]

OOPS! My bad. I missed that

this is seriously what makes me love casr, beautiful kouki, the best (in my opinion) Nissan engine swap, if you not counting reliablility etc. its just pure sexiness
