stony Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well i must been away from the car too long again.... getting the itch to go turbo V-8 Any guesses on what the going market would be for a 700+rwhp rb26 complete setup from intercooler to 2 speed powerglide would run? I have an idea of how much i would ask but not sure many people would pay attention to it. not real interested in a part out either. IF i do this it will be a yank everything out and buy all my V-8 stuff in one shot. i DO NOT need another 3 years down in a build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Gonna be a tough sell IMO. Good luck with the sale man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexPie Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 agreed money is tight nowadays, it would have to be a steal rather than a deal. Good luck with the sale! IF you sell. on a side note I saw you're located in Syracuse next time I'm up in that Area I'd love to see your Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Most higher hp are going rb30 block 25/26 heads. If that powerglide was streetable that would be cool to have. I hear the stall has to be pretty big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZT-R Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 You cant be a RB moderator and not have one in your car, not only that but you would have to change your profile icon. Do you know how hard that is going to be, that might take minutes, which i doubt you can spare. Save yourself the trouble and get a rb30 block. Instant torque. If you do go this route let me know and i will split shipping with you for 2-4 blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Comparables on the market suggest $17,500. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/103437-big-bad-pro-built-l28-turbo-drive-train-with-all-supporting-systems/ 700/500 = 1.4 1.4 x 12,500 = $17,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeoster Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Stick with the RB IMO since you are so far into it anyway. It sets you apart from having "just another v8". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Ha yea I got it but just another v-8 But a turbo v-8 with 1100 HP rolling to the store for a rock star aren’t very common as far as I know :> I don’t think anyone will be willing to pay what I need for the setup anyways so nobody needs to worry about unnatural aspiration dying.

ZT-R Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Have you considered a rb30 block and 26 head? Make much better torque, who cares about Hp, torque wins the races, hp gets the glory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Twin turbo VK56 would be nice and wouldn't be just another V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Twin turbo VK56 would be nice and wouldn't be just another V8. Anything with 4 cams in it dosnt sound like it would be very cheap to make 1100hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
