To all of the 15 year old dreamers out there, It has finally arrived!!!

[l0nestar]

I just saw this up on Ebay..

http://cgi.ebay.com/brand-new-...wItem

There you go, a bare RB26 N1 block, on which to build you 10,000 whp monster. Still not a complete N1 motor, but hey, it is a _great_ start!

</sarcasm>

*yay for 850 posts!*

[l0nestar]

And hokey-smoke! There are TWO available!!! "only" $2500 each! Somebody had better jump on them!

[Shocker]

ohh!! what as steal and waste of money....

[Joe]

BUT OMGARRO its a N1 RB26 engine!

thats gods engine! nothing will ever produce more power or be more reliable!

[240z4u]

I would buy em but I need 3 LOL

[BoostFab]

the bare block alone make 600hp on the dyno, add internals, it will break the 1500hp mark.

[KlanjacOFF]

OMG this is cooler than an SRT-4

I know that a RB26 was craved from the finest metal by Michelangelo himself...but an RB26 N1? I don't know what that is but that sounds like science, and science is of the devil!

god carved the n1 out of a solid iron block, duh!! it's given, hence godzilla......

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWDrop this in with some nice slugs and fastners...and yha .. watch out.If I didnt just pay off my 26 build I would build something like this. If one started out and just got good parts for this nismo engine it wouldn't take that much to complete the build. If it was your first rb swap it would be a long project. I have a whole room of spare parts in my shop from nissans ive canaged over the years.

[Coolwhip]

ah I remember

Moses dropped the first one that was carved.

[Ricer Assassian]

OMG this is cooler than an SRT-4

That wasn't nice.....

[ATpossible]

some months ago i saw the N1 block for sale at nismoparts.com for like 1k less then that ebay auction.

what makes me sad is how you all joke about the rb26 but i guess we could all find engines out here in america and japan for 3-4 grand that can take 600hp without internal modification

Chevy Small Block

[StricNyne]

haha i needed that laugh, but uhmm yeah rhdjapan had the ztune cranks and yadda a while back for some price a little under left nut, but yeah they can keep that block

and who is gonna make 600hp in a 240sx? i think i can count the number of 600hp 240's in the us on 2 hands

but just fyi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_LS_engine

theres an american motor, thats cheaper than the allmighty RB26, that will make just as much power, for cheaper, and be more reliable.

[BoostFab]

another option beside the high powered ls, 2jz, sitll lots cheaper than the overrated n1

[jdmser]

I really don't think the cost of the N1 block is that far out of line. Not when you consider that Summit sells the Boss 302 block for $1779.95 and you can pay $1949.99 for the LSx block. I know this sight has a lot more drifter/road race/autocross guys then big horse power drag guys and a lot of you don't need more than 400 but, around here it seems like 800hp is the new 500hp.

[KlanjacOFF]

That wasn't nice.....

haha, I've actually owned 2 of them Just got tired of dealing with FWD

[Ricer Assassian]

. I hear that, Im looking for a 240 now. Just need to find one for the right price, and with a rb swap already done.

[StricNyne]

shoot me an email [email protected] debating selling my swap if i get the right price

[Racinjitter]

I guess if you can accept that the LS engines use 1/2quart of oil every 1k miles, sure they are reliable. GM claims that much oil consumption is normal, and will not fix your engine under warranty if you complain about this. It is in all TSB's. Not to mention the pcv system woes and DOD problems. There are design flaws of both the RB and the LS series engines. I wouldn't hail either of them the end all godsend of engines.

i dont look up america motors as much as i know you do but i'd say when i was considering a ls1 engine i think i saw prices ranging from 5K maybe 6-7 sometimes if i remember correctly. now used it was like 3-4 on ebay from a crashed vehicle

fyi not all of us drift and only need 400ish power so people actually want the most hp possible and most dont like to spend too much.

we all like "our" certain engines but i try to be opened minded considering all things but i guess if japan had more 5.7L engines they would destory your ls1.

oh by the way that is going off on assumptions since a lot of their engine do 100hp/L or more and yours does 61hp/L

oh and i see like once a month a 240 with 600hp being sold but maybe they are lying. just for you i will change my goal to 600hp instead of 5 so you can know of 3 and i never said the rb26 was almighty

I may not be completely correct on this, but the oil consumption issue was only on the 98 and early 99 ls engines. But like you stated all motors have their shot comings, and they are all far from perfect.

StricNyne, email sent.

[Coolwhip]

my rb'd 240 is up for sale in the classifieds, check it and email me...coolwhip(at)tmail(dot)com

I see it all the time on any LS engine from 97-2008. But the point is moot, as we both agree on.

[Gold Digger]

I love the RB but the JZ engines are far better.

Now, the whole LS engine bandwagon...Kamin, don't forget you had an RB once....

[neonbomb]

OMG this is cooler than an SRT-4

lol silly boosted neon death-traps

[jdmser]

Why are the JZ motors better than the RB? Not the first time I've heard it just would like to know why.
