fentin_fury Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well i am more of a road race - Solo 1 type - and built my Z more for that purpose but I am going drag racing today. I will post times so you can all have a smile at the end of the day. On another note I am going to build a spare short block. I want a stroked - 2.8l. I debated the RB30- just to much work in my opinion to swap out on a weekend. My question is has anyone here tried the Brian Crower crank? I like the Tomei kit - and my Tomei components I cannot complain about but they are not the least expensive option. Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Good luck today! Have lots O fun with that RBz. BTW, what does the BC parts cost for this 2.8 kit? Any info links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentin_fury Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 The BC "kit" consists of his crank, eagle rods and CP pistons. No real kit - that worries me a bit. I was checking out JGY for prices - and they are now carrying Tomei parts. I have had good luck with these guys. ohh - and if anyone has a RB26 block with girdle and squirters - I am in the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janaka Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hmmm wish I had known a Z was going to the track today I woulda tried to join you in the LSZ that said I hope they prep the track so you can stick a launch! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentin_fury Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Well i went - and tried a few runs. I get a lot of wheel hop/spin - shakes everything quite badly. Yesterday was quite cool and wet - but here are some time slips. I have not done this before so no making fun . I am the faster car in these three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREW RBZ Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hey Quentin...nice run!! I was also at our local track this weekend. Also had quite a bit of wheel hop for some reason...didnt do it last time at the track. The track was brutal...it was too cool and they didnt prep it at all. Here are my times: 1)60foot: 2.24 12.11 @ 123.3mph 2)60 foot:2.22 12.23@ 124.2mph 3)60 foot:2.3 12.5@ 123.1mph This was on drag radials,..tried launching at all different rpm but the car just spun through the first two gears. Also...I too am thinking of building/purchasing another bottom end. One of the options I have considered is going with a RIPS 3.0 litre bottom end. From the email reply I received from Rob it looks like a stock (not forged) 3.0 litre bottom end would run around $4500.00 NZ dollars (including shipping!)...which is about $3600cdn or so. The price quoted is for his 20th anniversary in business and upcoming 40th birthday celebration!. Thinking about it pretty hard...this guy knows his stuff and the torque would be awesome. Keep in mind that this is for the bare bones block (no oilpan/oil pump etc) with crank/rods/pistons suitable for an RB26dett head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your 60ft down you'll be in the 10's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentin_fury Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 drew - pm'd you. I was running on R888s. 245/45/16 on the rear. I could have turned up the boost but that would have broke something for sure! I was running at 20lbs boost. Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
