Tombarace14 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 You might want to search around alittle the RB26 in stock form is very capable of making 400 to 600 hp. You might also be suprised about how much the RB26 swap will cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth-Z Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/fr_set-from_top-menu/fr_index-com-eng.html Base price on these seem to be around $12,000 with a 120Yen to 1 USD exchange rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amorfin Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 The Tomei would be your best choice if you had $12,000 just for the engine and another $10,000-20,000 for the rest (just the turbos can be $2,000-3,000, tranny $1,200). If $12,000 is your total budget for the swap, I would recommend not spending more than $5,000 for an engine and transmission in good shape and keeping it almost completely stock. You need to do a lot of research before you buy the engine. It won't be really hard to get the horsepower you want. As I joke with my friend, just by blowing the dust off an RB26 it gets another 50hp . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple B Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 yeah the tomei one is sweet plus you cannot buy a nismo crate engine unless you have uber connections. at least thats what i hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 yeah the tomei one is sweet plus you cannot buy a nismo crate engine unless you have uber connections. at least thats what i hear i think the only connection you need is a full payment upfront. here's a part number for the GTR/N1 bare engine assembly 10102-AA450 i'm sure a complete block has a part number somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
