stony Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks, I think it has a little more in it. we will find out in about 2 weeks at the last night of the season. Made some rear suspension adjustments that should keep the front down, because even though it looked cool IT WAS NOT ;> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Couple more from another camera. This is what it sounds like to run out of gas ;< And here's what 750 to the wheels and a shitty burnout sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatrate Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Fuel pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Oil pressure took out #5 and started on 2. Thrust bearing wasn't looking to healthy either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 I'm assuming it's been that way for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatrate Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 So why was oil pressure dropping?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 My guess is the pan and pickup. its just a stock rb20 300z oil pan with a modified rb25 oil pickup. On launch all the oil is sloshing back and for 2 seconds it picks up air. Will be working on a better pan/pickup. and adding a accusump.

stony Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 SO the day has come.... Do i stick with the rb that costs 2500 to rebuild or do i go with a 2j? Pros of 2j. 1. Can support what i"m doing now on a bone stock long block....Yes it can i have seen it done. 2. If for some reason i blow it up i can go to just about any of the local pick and pulls and get another long block cheap. 3. lots of local support. 4. Stock rear sump oiling system can support 1000hp drag application without mods. Cons of 2j 1. Initial expense if swap. Other then that cant think of anything else pros of RB 1. Cool as ****!!!! 2. Can make good horsepower 3. Brand matches car (Nissan, NOT THAT I CARE) 4. Can be sold to fund the entire 2J swap Cons of rb 1. Huge lack in support in US 2. Major mods needed for rear sump applications for Hi HP drag applications. What am i missing? I'm currently gathering parts to rebuild the RB then I'm leaning towards selling the setup turnkey including AEM with current tune (750RWHP) once rebuilt it will have a new crank, rods and thinnest HG possible to increase CR. This will help with power down low to spool turbo and hit Stall on the converter. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I lean more heavily to the 2jz camp as it's a proven stout and reliable engine right from the get go. The turbo and intake set up is more well suited for the S30. The RB's sound is glorious though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatrate Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Your gonna find a 2JZ turbo long block in a junkyard?? Maybe an NA version. Parts for rb26 aren't anymore expensive than a 2JZ or much harder to get from my experience. Rb26's have made 800whp on stock pistons rods.. look at boozstedz's 300zx I don't think it worth the hassle.. but that's just my opinion.

stony Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yes turbo NA. Head flows better then turbo head. They are a dime a dozen in junk yards. When you say parts aren't cheaper id agree until you consider i can get a NA longblock at any pick and pull for 150 bux. Basically i"m talking a NA 2j longblock with good stuff bolted up to support 800 whp. if it blows...( i have a buddy that ran a junkyard block all the way to 1200whp before it bent a rod) break it down go get another long block and be back up and running. No rb26s in junkyards around here ;> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 A buddy does a mod to install the cam sensor and deletes the distributor. Don't get me wrong i'm a die hard RB guy just cant afford it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Here is my buddies Mk3. he used a turbo head in this install but was using a stock junkyard NA shortblock. thing lasted years before it let go with the help of a 300 shot on top of 45 PSI from a 88 mm turbo.
