that kinda looks like somebody trying to morf a z into a supra... any more pics ?

corvette, a v-8 z is cool but dont fool yourself... your gonna need 450-500 rwhp to hang with the big boys. those 4 banger silvia (sr20) are strong when built right... there are also alot of stealth swaps... the are several 180s and silvias with 500hp+ rb26 jamed into the bay. an old friend of mine has a 20 B side port turbo in his second gen rx-7 pushing 600+ rwhp.. and i agree they are freakin crazy ;>

wow dude you could build a preety bad ass turbo v-8 for that.... if you have to have a rb shop around there are others out there for less then that. shoot for that i might do it for ya... i could fly over first class. stay for a week or 2. get you and engine tranny and mounts and ship it back and still have made some cash. Seriously... thats too much for and engine. if you have that much to blow do something like darius did. think his motor might have been a little more then that though on a side note if anyone out there is willing to pay that much for this engine for there Z i might be able to motivate myself to get some imported from a couple of friends. let ne know.

i may be wrong but i believe volume of air either forced in or sucked in (NA) is what will makes power. so even though its the same displacement... bigger valves or more valves, big cams, bigger turbo (more volume not PSI) is what makes the difference. the hard part is matching all this stuff up so it works good. if its running a restrictor they are trying to limit the HP. If they had a bigger throttle body on it it would allow a larger volume of air to move thru the manifold making more power. .. DO i have my terminolgy right guys?

i would if i was there. maybe in 3 years or so. heres the thing your looking at at least 1000.00 in shipping alone. 1 cubic meter by one cubic meter is what youd need to ship everything .. which by the way is the smallest you can go. you can go smaller but they will still charge you for the cubic meter

i have some pics added and some more info (not much) if anyone want to post it on there page let me know ill email it. it a word doc. I dont have the puter skills or patience to figure out how to post it on geocities I know that pretty bad

i dont know about well written i tried to put it up on my web sight but it wouldnt let me cut and paste ... and i didnt feel like retyping ; I will continue to edit it and when it looks like there is nothing else i can think of ill try to get it on the web somewhere

How to swap an rb engine into a z First you need to figure out what engine and performance you want… The rb-20 motor is a 2 liter turbo or N/A motor both are considerably stronger then the L motor The rb-25 is basically the same as the 2.l but has more displacement and can be modded to handle more HP in its stock internal form. A friend of mine took a stock N/A rb25, threw a turbo on it and ran the hell out of it for a year and a half at very high boost levels before he put a hole in a piston!!!! Car dyno’d at 430 RWHP on a chassis dyno The rb-26 DETT comes twin turbo only… it is a detuned Japan touring car motor. With simple upgrade like a chip , intake, and exhaust you can be well over 300hp. The bottom end is built to with stand 600hp before needing upgrade forged pistons and rods. This motor is considerably different then the 2.0 and 2.5. The only thing that is swappable between the 2.5 and 2.6 is the block and that has to be bored and some other mods done to fit the head. If possible you want to stick with the 2.6 block especially if your going to build it up for a lot of power… the 2.6 block is a lot stronger Ill start with the rb-26 swap as this is what I did. I purchased the majority of the parts from one shop on Okinawa (HAAS) and got a pretty good deal on everything. Here’s what I got Rb-26dett, trust FMIC, r-33 GTS-T 5 speed tranny, r-200 LSD, drive shaft that I needed, and a bunch of other stuff I ended up not using. 3500.00 Things I didn’t use… stock computer, stock wire harness, stock oil pan First thing I did was remove the GTR oil pan , installed the pickup / oil pan from the z-31. Then I installed the z-31 motor mounts. I installed the motor with tranny bolted up. We then took the stock mount from the L tranny cut it up and welding it back together. Then cut and shaped the chassis part of the mounts and bolted everything together. Once everything was in place where I wanted it we tacked it in, then removed everything and welded it all up. It wasn’t till later that we figured out the drive shaft would fit without cutting it ;> I was told this but had never seen it done so I wasn’t sure. From this point it was a matter of fabricating all the stuff to make the engine work. Other parts I bought from different sources… Exhaust (Kakimoto) I ordered this thru Matt at motorworx on Okinawa. http://www.motorworx.tv/ I bought the GTR down pipe from the kinser auto hobby shop USMC then had it modified by matt to fit the 260z install. basically cut it in half then welded a couple of bends in it to fit Fuel pump I bought off of ebay … bosche 600hp injection pump. The oil pan and sump I got out of a Japan spec Z-31 rb20det 300zx in a junk yard. the front of the oil pan had to be cut out and lowered to clear the bearing retainers in the 2.6. The block has a spot for a rear pickup but it is not drilled out so I had to use the front port on the 2.6. This meant I had to make a custom oil pickup that went from the front of the motor to the rear. If you use the rb-25 block this is not necessary, in fact everything from the Z-31 is bolt in!!!! I purchased the SDS EMS thru matt at motorworx…. I can not say enough about matt… he is awesome and very meticulous… if he wouldn’t do it on his own car he wont tell you or do it to your car Labor I did pretty much all the manual labor like installing the motor, tranny, diff, and a bunch of other stuff associated with a body restoration;> Matt at Motorworx did all the welding on my car…to include the exhaust, down pipe, intercooler in and out mods, and piping He modified my fuel tank pickup to a –8 for better fuel delivery. He also did the SDS install, and setup. Which without changing anything the car ran a best 11.138 @ 121!!!!!! Ok to summarize… with all the parts above everything bolts in You’ll need to make tranny mounts, and all the associated welding for the exhaust and intercooler piping. From there it just like any other swap. The motor sits a little fwd with the z-31 mounts so if your looking for optimal handling you’ll need to make custom mounts to set the motor down and back a bit. You’ll also need a custom drive shaft. I didn’t think the GTR drive train would fit in the car but it will…. but this places the motor so far fwd the radiator has to be mounted on the other side of the core support!!!! But does give the car AWD ;> The rb-20 is an ok swap but only provides minimal power upgrade from a turbo l-28 The rb-25 is a bit better and can handle more power with its stock internals. The rb-26 is the ultimate in reliability and performance…. This motor can be built to 600+ HP and be driven to work everyday with a full exhaust. (no earplugs;>) For anyone considering this mod if you’re in Japan or Australia or have a lot of money go for it…. Anywhere else id go with v-8 or Toyota 2jz TT which is a very similar in performance to the rb26 my 2 cents .... any question ?

try datsun... then sort by highest price and then its the first one after the featured items

email me your questions and ill try to help stony7@gci.net check out my web site

man that is the third time he has listed that.. all teh other times has met the reserve. must being haveing bad luck with deadbeat bidders?

ive heard of guys putting the r-200 LSD in teh front of the gtr i guess its stronger then the stock gtr front diff not sure about the rear

alot more then i wanted to. If i were to do it again i would look for a rolling sheel that has a cage in it allready and needs no major rust repair. the drivetrain from intercooler to r-200 LSD cost me 450000 yen or 3300.oo US. add another 1500+ for engine meanagement. 1000 for custom exaust,(includes labor at a very freindly rate ;>) dont get scared now.... the entire project is around 20 K now but should be around 13-14K due to a expensive body restore.... check out my web page for the before the bodywork pics !!!! never been to the other page you mentioned always go by stony ;>

Corvette, Hows it going over there in okinawa? you done or watched any of the racing yet? you should be whoopin up over there with the v-8 ??? hey did you say you were in the air force or USMC?

as far as you know are the electronic speedo sensors all the same as far as how they work?? im wanting to hook the nissan one up but not sure how it works.

i knowticed in the t-56 install that the t-56 has a electronic speedo sensor.... has anyone hooked this up to a autometer electronic speedo? does it work?

not sure if the shape is different but is for sure bigger. the inside of the face gets bored out... this is the only part i woulndt be able to do .... this is why i was considering just buying a new face but then id have to redo intercooler pipe to use grommets instead of the stock bolt up method

hmm not too sure about that . The controllers he's talking about actually meter fuel according to rpm and booste levels. if you wire in one injector off another youd be rich at idle just right for a very short time and still not enough fuel under certain booste conditions.. not too mention resistence issues . AM i wrong????

WOW talked with turbonetics about upgradeing a t-28 compressor (GTR) and rebuild on my turbos and they quoted 700 per turbo!!!!! I was expecting about 1000 for both this is what was planned..... upgrade compressor wheel to a super 60, and bore out stock compressor face to fit bigger wheel , new balanced metal turbine wheel clipped for better flow , and total rebuild, Ill have to price parts on this that just seems alittle hi for something i feel i can do. I guess it always seems that way anyone have a better cheaper way ? any cars out there have bigger then the garret t-28 as a stock turbo? I think (not sure) i could buy 2 new compressor faces, wheels, turbine shafts and rebuild kit for less then that If not oh well off they go to turbonetics

rebuilding a turbo is relatively easy ... 70-100 bucks for a kit depending on turbo.... you have meake certain the cartridge is clean... replacing the parts is self explainitory <<

unless your increasing the compressor size and getting better flow the stock opening will work fine.

Hmmm not sure on the MPH thing but if you open the case there are set of numbers on the ring gear... you just divide the 2 and that gives your rear end gear. if i could remember the numbers id give you an example. just take the cover off and turn the diff with something till you see numbers. i thing there is a / in there somewhere cant remember been a while ;

Nevermind!!!! Called R/C and verified the tips are repairable they are in fact replaced as part of the cleaning service and the metal to metal cleance is not an issue . they come back with new o rings too

Is there a clearance between the injector and the rail???? I was fit checking my new injectors and found some were kind of a tight fit even before o rings were installed second question... Like a dumba$$ i dropped one and cracked the plastic tip on the spray side of the injector Is this repairable? I planned on sending them to r/c for cleaning and flow check anyways im praying this is repairable
