RB STYLEz... What would you do??? AND some "cool" pics...

[ctnewman]

I dont post here much... but i have a question...

What color should i paint my motaR? It is all apart right now for a "head gasket and bearings":

Motor LOOKS LIKE THIS:

But i was thinking

Block: Black or ford BlueValve Cover, Plenum, Timing Cover: Black? Polished? Blue? White?

Car is red. Engine bay is black. Id like to paint the car white someday.

I think a blue block with white components would be hott. I dont give a **** about the outside of the car. But i slick engine bays...

behind a CLEAR, YES CLEAR, TIMING COVERI am using these cam gears: and the timing belt is a baby blue color:

I am going to polish all the aluminum parts that dont get painted. Anything not getting a color will get black.

There is nothing sexier in this world than a fully polished RB26 . I'm talking about the valve covers, coil pack cover, and front timing cover, as well as the piping.

[intrexin]

holy **** what are you planning on doing with that beast!!!

[ctnewman]

SHOW OFF!

lol. any of this **** look familiar??

[Sil240]

WOW!!!How much power you looking to make???And how much did you spend?

[ctnewman]

WOW!!!How much power you looking to make???And how much did you spend?

limited by turbo (gt3040r) and transmission (rb20det... lol) 600whp would be ok...i made 409 last year, stock motor. But that was untuned and only revving to 6500.

i spent too much... lol

SOOOOOOOOO no opinions on what to paint?

[Wulfgang]

I kind of like the flat black powerdercoat look myself.

[rb250sx]

Hey Newman, i would paint the valve cover white with block black. but dont take too much time doing it, i want to see this thing run!

heres a pic of scotts 26 with the clear timing cover if you havent seen it.

[DETurbine]

Nice setup...with that money why not build the block?

I like everything so far. I would think that your motor would look the best powder coated silver or polish it.

[JonPowell]

lol. any of this **** look familiar??

That triple plate looks nasty, I put a twin plate on an RB25 and it was ALOT OF FUN...not really.

I think white would be cool...black block, white valve covers...

BUT

I think that something REALLY off the wall would be cool also, maybe a neon lime green?

No dont do that! HA HAwhat about....Gold, like Top Secret gold?http://www.linney.org/topsecretengine.htm

[Sky240PWR]

wow that is a clean RB26!!,I'm getting the clear timing cover for my RB25.(i know they don't make one but Nengun says you can make the rb26 fit the rb25)......I would just paint it the color of the car.

build the blocK? Are you talking about resleeving? Polishing the block? O-ring? I may O ring, but i doubt i will polish the inside... i don't have the energy... And resleeving is unneccessary...

How? I am _very_ interested in this. Email me if you would like.

[Shocker]

way to awake this from the dead......... buy a 26 clear one and find out! im sure it requires cuttign and re drilling of holes.. might look like a pita when done.. but try and see.

[l0nestar]

Well, I am really looking for one that I do not have to modify, or if I do, I would like to see somone elses who has done it.. let them 'test it out' I would rather not spend the $ on it, unless I know that it will work.

600whp on a Rb20 transmission??? have fun with that..... You'll be going thru more RB20 transmission's then Micheal Jackson would with lil kids....

its not the hp that breaks the trans its the torque from the motor.

[Cornloaf]

i like gold - like the N1

Let this go back to sleep ctnewman sold that setup ages ago in parts. He bought a lotis or so he said. He just did not have nissan flowing in his blood I guess. Why do all that just to quit and sell it off for 11k or something like that what a waste of time. What ever flots your boat I guess.
