flatrate Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 So Still RB powered at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 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.

flatrate Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Sad, looks to be making some good power, especially for being thru an Auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 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.

stony Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatrate Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you need 5 spare engines, your doing it wrong. I think the only reason you had issues was from Oil surge.. Fix that and your golden.. My motor has done quite a few passes, LOTS AND LOTS of street rape and daily driver duty over the last 6 years... its made between 420whp and 800whp its entire life, i have only had 1 issue with it ( due to my awesome tuning skills) lost a cheap cometic head gasket. I guess being that your already setup with an RB, i just don't understand the hassle your going to go thru swapping power plants.. Might be a little cheaper but worth the hassle?? Not in my eyes!!! But i suppose i'm Biased i have a hard on for RB engines.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramagedained Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 That's exactly why my car will get a 4.8/5.3 to make power. I did the hard/expensive way on my last car and vowed to never do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 That was my other choice. Just came across a 2j setup that was more cost effective for my situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpndave Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Sweet! Let me know if you need a hand with the wiring or flash on that engine. And, I would LOVE to stop by sometime I am that way and see your car! I'm working with John on a full set of 280YZ/SubtleZ fiberglass parts for my car now.

1969honda Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Stony is that the one I saw last night in Sunset on KSL? Looked like a pretty good deal from the pictures, can't wait to see where this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
