...sorry for the small highjack.i had a rb26 in stock form it made 267rwkw then the turbo broke and bypassed the head and found a new home on my piston's and started main course on my sleeves.to make 350kw on it i would say turbo,exhaust mani,wastegate,gasket and arp bolts on the head and you will have to sort out a aftermarket oil pump to keep that hungry head happy.so all and all rb26 is king but to expensive to build.for that reason a 25 is a better option.but hey that's just my 2cents..back to the topic at hand.congrats with your build!many many happy miles!godzilla wrote:can i throw a spanner in the works here.What would the cost be to get the 350kw with a TB26dett if i was to say pay 22k for the motor and 6k for the fat box(rb25) ??? juts a question to the guys that know what the costs would be.id have to add the sump in there aswell t make the 4x4 sump change.

Yes, its well proven they dont last long over 1 bar, think u might have maxed out the injectors too. 1.4 bar on ceramic turbo's, pump feul on 440cc injectors........ wont last longsmoothedgp wrote:Stock injectors,1.4bar.no meth nothing.i was stupid to push those turbo's so hard but its school fees.no point crying over spilled milk or turbo's in this case.

tiny tiny update
my gear lever was really really loose due to a worn bush going tino the gear box from the lever.
changed it with a nissan v6 bakkie bush (same size) and WOW all i can say is it made a world of difference. now i can really feel all the RB goodness, what an awesome gearbox, so precise and close, love it
really happy with how its running

ya, that little part made the HUGEST difference in the whole feel of the car, so much better
the RB gearbox is really really nice, couldnt feel it properly at all before.
the bush i removed was about 1 third of the size of the new one, it was almost at the point of being so worn that it would just fall of basically wasnt even doing anything.
all sorted now tho

good some new (used) goodies a couple days ago
needed wheels ever since i did the engine swop and came across these which are the exact style i wanted just not the right width, they 7j, so gona get the rears widened to 9j to take some 255's, got the wheels at a good price, so all in all with widening etc will work out alot cheaper then getting a set of wheels imported and so on.
here they are:
also got an oil temp, oil pressure and boost gauge to help monitor my rb's health and running
when i get some time later next week i'l install the gauges, not sure if i wana dash mount or pillar mount or what yet, then gona send the rear wheels to hi tech mag repairs for widening on monday (unless anyone knows of a cheaper place)
will post better pics when they on the car
new goodies are always so exciting
p.s after these upgrades next is z32 brakes all round and coilovers(not sure on which ones yet)
