Project s14 RB26dett

[BigPar]

actually, forget everything people have told you and sell me your engine for $500. It's incomplete and worthless, you should just start over.

[monkeyofdrift]

don't give up Evobill, you'll show us all!!! give us a 1200hp 240sx!!! J/k, tobe frank with ya, I'll call up those Osaka guys and get my money back or another engine, they sold you an haft @$$ engine, for that price, I would of gotten a turbo kit for the EVO. evo's are sweet cars man, don't know why you getting a 240 with RB, when you can have good running evo with sick amount of HP, or a rusty 240sx (you know it's true guys ) having to worry about the car overheating. i mean If you still want the RB26, I'll gut that engine and redo everything.... I mean everything, after your done with it pour some holywater and pray it don't die on ya, good luck bro!!! remember, it takes time to build your dream car, don't stress over it.

[Evo_bill]

Thanks for all the heads up guy's

I did all the work to my evo myself, made 320 awhp @ 22 psi spent less then 2kI already sold it because the car is way to damn exspenive, so I sold the car and bought a house, and now I want another car;). But to tell you the truth I'm sick of 4 bangers.... I want something that no one has around here at the same time only the cheaper side, no 30K + parts.

Evo was fun, but I was afraid to really beat on it, because it was new and the parts anrnt cheap.

Nothing is wrong with the motor so far as I can see, they didn't give me mafs but not every place it looks like does, I'm calling them on the MAF's and TT pipe though and I'll let you guys know what they say. I took the coils and ignitors out to check spark plugs and do leakdown test. I got a triple disc clutch osgiken race clutch... that was setting in the engine. so hoping its not worn.

[monkeyofdrift]

come on now evobill, The RB parts are the hardest to find and the one most $$$ not if you buy all ebay parts. then you'll really get what you paid for. that's too bad you sold the evo, great car. well anyhow, I don't know what esle to say about the engine you got, I'd try calling osaka for a refund, if not you can make that motor into a sweet @$$ coffee table, or sell it for spare parts, or rebuild it. (would cost more or even for a nice decent RB26 clip/engine) in the end you get what you paid for.

[0wn3r]

converting the trans to rwd?? not that i'm aware of. do yourself a favor, while your on the phone with the guys at Oaska, tell them you want to trade your GTR trans for a RB25 trans. just tell them they sent you the wrong trans. make it sound like they were the ones that EFFed up.

don't listen to this person.

it can be done, but it's really considered a waste of time/money when rb25 transmission should be bought at the same time of the rb26 motor.

if you're going to keep this engine and continue to invest, i would honestly consider reading through alot of posts over at racebread for more info. i personally wouldn't post unless i felt like making myself look like a retard. the people in their know their rb26's extremely well... i'm sure gawdzilla can tell u.

the majority of people in this and some other forums honestly just don't support rb's because they are too stuck on the cheaper sr's they bought.

dont listen to this idiot either parts are available everywhere from retailers, open your eyes!

[lucky7]

dont listen to what i posted?? seriously man. you most likely want an RB25 trans. i dont understand how i was offbase??

all i said was that i wasnt sure about converting the awd trans to rwd. suggested a way to remedy the situation.

[monkeyofdrift]

dont listen to this idiot either parts are available everywhere from retailers, open your eyes!

lol, besides Ebay, Phase2motor, EnjukuRacing. where else can anyone get RB parts??? at a good price, even if you listed a website I'll bet the parts for it would be $$$. what I'm trying to get at is, parts for the RB26 isn't cheap.

[240sxr33]

Buy pfc djetro no need for mafs, and for the tubo pipes just put regular Y pipe.Do you have 240 or you're still looking to buy it?

Good luck on your project.

I've talked with a tunner friend and We'er going use emanage ulitmate with a map sensor. He uses emanage all the time with 350z and makes 400+ hp besides its a nice cheap fix, I've talked with oaska and they said make a list of what I'm missing (except mafs) and email them they would send it to me.

I also have done a compression test first so far, I'm going to do another tonight.cyl1.155 psicyl2.175 psicyl3.155 psicyl4.170 psicyl.5176 psicyl6.176 psi

so, I've got a good motor on my hands. now time to start ripping it down and see what type of crank collar issues I'm looking at.

What is the max HP out their for stock turbo's?

[CursedGTR]

I have seen stock turbo's max out at about 400HP. I did about 380 ish on them but I also went through three sets of them just because I wanted to see how many of my extra ones I could blow. I blew every single last one of them. Anyways, it was fun, and a bit of a learning experience. I did have all supporting mods to do this except internal engine mods.

The transmission thing can be converted by a little bit of reading and a welder that is worth a ****. I have seen plenty of GTR missions in S Chasis in Japan during my 7 years living in Okinawa. However, alot of people like the 25 transmission because it is EASIER nothing less nothing more.

If you are realistic in the money you are willing to spend and you spend a little time shopping for deals you will find them. Crower will do a custom Stroker Kit for it at about 5500.00 complete. I bought forged pistons and Pauter Rods for about 2100.00 for the set brand new. I did not get a back door deal, I simply just called a company and ordered it all. I ended up not even using that kit so I cannot talk about the results. I found plenty of machine shops willing to knife edge and balance a crank for 500.00 or so. Alot of stuff becomes avaiable as projects change directions and people sell off stuff. You can usually pick stuff up and have it rebuilt or if it is a hard part just take it to a shop and have it checked by a pro. The resources are there and alot people just don't use them because of ASSUMPTION vice FACT.

I think we should all be adding to solutions and not adding to BS. name one time, all of you guys all had the money up front to pay for everything you wanted to do at once. That crowd is very few.

i hope you are slapping yourself here...

i'm trying to keep cool here about what you said, but straight up you should not have made the post you did. You're telling this guy to try to scam a shop out of hundreds of dollars who honestly sold this guy the right stuff.

THEN, You ALSO say you don't think they can take the AWD transmission and convert it to RWD which is also bs. OK, maybe you didn't know, but if you didn't research it, then you are just doing what CursedGTR said above:

[Evo_bill]

My uncle is going to help me out with modding the rb26 transmission. He works with people who can make anything with cast aluminum, so I'm going to give them the transmission and try and help direct what exactly I need cut and re-welded.

what do you want as cheap, free parts !?!?!? skyline oem parts can be bought ....Courtesy Nissan, Raceeng, Project Nissan and more.... ebay dont count they're used parts do you buy critical engine parts used hmmm....?!?!?

Evo_bill: you may want to drop some oil on the pistons, since you're doing a cold compression test, they may not yield the hightest #....but with those numbers you'll be fine.

Thanks, but already drop in a little oil in each piston and the psi held gets better.... I'm getting my garage ready for phase 2 taking oil pan off and valve cover.

Is their any way of telling what year motor I have? I know its from a R32 and I've also heard people talking about an H4, H5, H6 eich in the head, under the valve cover. H# being a code for manufacturing year. ???

[the_momo]

you should just call the importer you got it from. that would probably be the easiest. to my knowledge the rb26 from any r32 is exactly the same anyway. but im not 100%sure on that, so yeah.

give them a call

[the_momo]

btw i love the evo. friend of mine just bought her new xi in white. doing a buschur full exhaust on it this weekend. then who knows. sorry to hear you have to possibly the best car to have as a dd.

[Evo_bill]

well for one Buschur - basicly ssautochorm quality, they suck, you need to weld it on and it sounds like ****, and its over priced. I recommand AMS items, when it comes to Evo's.

2nd, whats a DD?

3rd, whats differents from R32 26 and R33 26?

e this post but I need more info.

[the_momo]

really? sorry you had bad stuff with buschur, i had a lot of stuff from them from past dsm projects. never anything bad. oh well. not my car. oh and dd is daily driver. thats what i wanted but i couldnt afford it at the time of my last purchase, so i got my srt insted. not a proper replacement, but its fun.

either way, if it needs to be welded on, thats no problem. but ill be sure to complain. no company should sell anything that cant be put on without just hand tools. ha. like that would ever happen.

you are very very far off base. the word 'scam' would be something completely different.. i was reffering to working something out with the shop. scamming a shop out of $$$$$$'s. . yeah. shipping is expensive for businesses............. . seriously though. customers can get their way almost all the time. believe me, rules can, and often do get bent all the time. saving face, making yourself look good. ive had more than enough experience on the buisness side to figure this out. in reality though, i really dont need to explain this to you any further. point is you're wrong, and youre making what i said out to be something completely different.

as far as the awd trans thing. i said i didnt know. i didnt say, 'no, it cant be done'. here, ill quote it: Quote »converting the trans to rwd?? not that i'm aware of.[/quote] you really need to settle down. stop jumping on everbodys shiit.

i cant believe i just spent the time typing all of this..

anyhow, sorry to steal your thread Bill. its allllll yours again.

[74260zt]

Just pull the front bellhousing off the awd trans and swap it onto a Z32 (90-96 300zx) 5 spd trans and you'll have yourself a trans that is the same as a RB25det trans on the inside.

There are quite a few posts on this exact subject if you search for them....

Good luck with your project!

[themadscientist]

I am curious why the RB26 swap seems to be so scary for people. Other than the need for a RWD pan what's the problem? Is the back turbine right up in the steering shaft or something? Hell I can pull an RB pan out of a scrap metal bin if it will get you up and running.

[Evo_bill]

the pan is no problem... its the tranmission and refusing to pay another 1000.00 becuase they know you need it.

btw, I've heard z32 transmissions don't really fit, the shift is on the back of the transmission besides I can't even find one. I wonder what nissan sells them for.

it's more than an oil pan...

[RBMonster]

^^^ What he said. You need mounts, driveshaft, radiator, fans, I/C with piping, wire harness, engine management, custom downpipes (unless you use McKinney's), exhaust, Transmission, oil pan, and on and on.

This is stuff I've had to collect or have made, not to mention ANY upgraded parts (turbos, fuel system, oil system, blah blah). And as stated, RB parts aint cheap. I would say the swap isnt "easy" but it can be done. My advice is if you are really serious, take your time and do it right. If you rush things and hack it in.....you get the idea. I've had to ask lots of ??? along the way, and I don't even have the RB in the car yet. Just be prepared to come off your hard earned $$$. The RB is a sexy platform, but she'll really work your wallet too

[jspec603]

Hey! I hope you get your RB swap done soon! I've decided to go ahead and start putting parts together for my 2jz swap... Who will be done first??? hehehe Watch out...when you see that blur go by you on I93 you'll know my swaps finished!! haha ttyl, see you at the shop. Tom
