flatrate Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Why do people think you need to send a engine across the world to be built properly?? I'm not understanding this at all.. Stay internal pickup wetsump. Find the gremlin!! Stick to the necessities.. There is enough info out there, i'm sure Rob will help guide you anyway you want.. People are make 500-800whp+ on stock block RB26's for xxx sake, stop reinventing the wheel guys... pistons/rods crank collar proper assembly and a good oil pump is all ya need to make reliable horsepower Obviously you have oiling issues, i would be removing everything, restrictor's plugs etc etc to ensure this one doesn't end up like the rest... Have the blocks mainline checked...i could go on and on, but any reputable machine shop building an unfamiliar engine should be ensuring this is all within exceptable limits.. Your oil pressure being as high as it is... that's an issue weather you agree or not.. more isn't always better.. sucking the sump dry worries me... all that extra stress on the crank and pump for no reason.. I'd like to see you stick with it.. it just wouldn't be as cool with a 2J in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanuki Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Curious on the cage why you cut the diagonal bar and kept the harness bar solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatrate Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I would have swapped main bearing number 6 and 7. But what do I know...

EF Ian Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nice, hope it all goes well. Such a cool looking engine. I like the datalog and ant-lag swtiches, might do this on mine. Are you running AC or are you just using that panel to control the stock setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZT-R Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Well the Rips lasted a lot longer. Unless noise and metal is usual for first change. 2.7 miles/9 minutes of running time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
