Hey guys,
I've been thinking(never a good thing for the wallet) and I've come up with an idea of a nice torquey animal of an R32 GTS-t. I don't want monster power. 320-400rwhp would be nice. I think a GT3071R would be suffice for the power output i'm after?
Now I'm sure an RB27DET(name for capacity change) can be build using an RB26 crank & 40thou pistons in an RB25DET engine. Is this correct?
I was all set that'd be a good idea, but then I remembered the RB26 has itb's, solid lifters, better head design and oh oh that sound.
Problem is it will be built cheap, so an RB26 would lift costs markedely.. Although how much difference is there between tired 25s/26s? I'd have to go a 25 gearbox also, so no need to fork out for a 26 cut (i realise the boxes are the same)
Is the RB26 really that much better than a 25? I read somewhere back in the day Keir Wilson was producing 500nm or so in the space of 1500-2000rpm on the 1/4 mile due to the the 6 throttle bodies? that sounds FUN!
Any suggestions/advice/experience welcome!
Thanks
