Already spoken for. and as far as following the bandwagon.... if that band wagon goes 8:50 @ 160+ .... yea I'm gonna follow. SO FACK AFF!!!! ;-0

Well looks like plans have changed again. Just scored a 5.3 truck motor for 400 bux with 40k on the ticker. looks like I will be moving to the dark side ;> May have some 2j stuff up for sale shortly. Biggest thing will be the powerhouse 2j to powerglide adapter setup.

Well looks like I will be going LS after all. Just scored a 5.3 truck motor with for 400 bucks with 40k on the ticker!!! will be picking it up tomorrow.

That was my other choice. Just came across a 2j setup that was more cost effective for my situation.

Not sure yet. Will more than likely go with a set that does not require any head work.

Well part 3 is coming to a close. I got the motor rebuilt and made 710rwhp on the old school Greddy T88 and 24 PSI. I posted a video and literally less then 12 hours later it was sold. received the deposit today. Part 4 will be out this spring and will consist of a 2jz NA-T mated to the same drivetrain in the orange Z that the RB was. Currently I have the block assembled, The head has been modded to accept TT electronics. Need to order cams and springs. assemble head and bolt down. I also have the powerhouse Powerglide adapter. Its going to be a fun build. as I get pics I will post in this build thread. For now if anyone knows of forums that deal with NA-T conversions post them up. also and good facebook pages that list parts for sale would be cool.

HAHA yep I agree. Don't plan on having that many blocks lying around as spares. But heres the deal. I can sell my setup turnaround and finish my rear suspension, install parachute, build 2j to make more power then my rb currently sits (means going faster) upgrade my current ECU, and still have 2K left from the sale. I love RBs don't get me wrong. just don't have the cash to sink into a drysump system. If I spin a bearing on the 2 j for the same reason (oil starvation) I can go grab a motor from pick and pull for 150 bux, then slap all my stuff on it and be done. In fact I plan on having a spare short block for racing season.... and on the off chance I do hurt it. I could literally in one day have the motor out and replaced. Cant do that on my budget with an RB. That's my reasoning. redoing the setup is easy.

Not to mention another 6 psi!! 2j will do well also. and the biggest thing is I can have 5 short blocks sitting as spares for the cost of my last rebuild.

Yea it is. its still relatively conservative on the timing and is still pretty rich. there's probably another 75-100 is just leaning it out a bit and putting more timing in.

Yes.... But probably the last time it will run in the car. I got a deposit and it looks like its going back to its previous owner to go back in an r31 skyline. So the end of the Original RB26 260 Z may becoming to an end.

Cant figure out how to post videos..... made 710hp and 516 ft-lb Tq on 25 psi. look me up on youtube under username stonehac to see the videos. I also have some posted on facebook

Im using the same pan. I also noticed the same things. Although my pickup mating surface was not bowed and sealed up pretty nice. I didn't see in your review... but I have heard from several others that some of the holes don't line up. The only ones I had to enlarge were the big ones with 2 studs. I also has to trim some of the welds back for the bolts to sit flush. I personally think it was an awesome deal. I got it direct from CXracing here in the states.

Should be good now.

Before the build i wasn't even starting to build any boost till 5500rpm. Now I'm getting 10 PSI at 4600 and full boost (12 psi right now) at 5200!!! Im, hoping with some more tuning i can get it going a little earlier and N20 will be a thing of the past ;> https://youtu.be/3z_CA2RI2R0

Well considering I can go to just about any of the five pick in polls in my area and grab a long block for a hundred and fifty bucks... That's cheaper than in RB

I know I know. It's all in the interest of cheaper speed.

well finally making the leap to the 2j side. rb is if sale. only reason is I came across a steal of a deal on a complete 2j that I couldn't pass up.

Granted this has a different down pipe but here is an example of what i mean by more angry. Exact same build, only difference is gas type. Gas (106 unleaded) https://youtu.be/A42jkjinJO4 Vs e85 https://youtu.be/qu_HpSQ6rms

Using bosche 1600. When i say angry i just meant its louder and more loapy. With e85 it seems to run quieter and idle smoother.

Well got the 91 Oct tune close. 18 Psi feels real good. the reg gas sounds so much different then the E85. Much angrier at idle.

It goes either way.... comparing stock to stock is apple and oranges. to get a rb25 to what a rb26 can do with just a boost controller kind of evens out the price point. If you get into pistons rods and head work start out with a cheaper rb25 as with comparable mods I have seen rb25s put down some serious number's. but lets understand that neither are cheap. I know this is an rb thread and I bleed RB, but I have said it many times. if it ever fails catastrophically I'm going GM 4.8 with twin 76s

Drag racing a street cruising. Should see in excess of 750 to the wheels. in a 2300 lb car.... that is fun.

Updates?
