I Just filled up my car for the first time with the rb26 in and only got 235 kms out of the tank!!
i was shocked my fuel consumption halfed from the rb20. Im still running it in so i wasnt thrashing it. Im running a microtech ecu, is something wrong? do i need to retune or is this the reality of an rb26 running 310 rwhp ?
Yeah i knew buying a GTR would be cheaper mate, i weighed all that up before the conversion. I did up my own car coz it was just what i wanted to do. Your mates car must absolutely fly!
hey adam. haha yeah it was bit of a surprise me as well. Just when i decided i wasnt going tot spend anymore money on the car too hah!
yeah we'll catch up soon mate. Gotta show ya, its a real handful
haha that makes me feel better! i just filled mine up for the first time since gettin the 26 and i burnty 1/4 tank for only 50km! i think it needs leaning out some more!
i did origanally by a rb25 with a twin turbomanifold setup sleekman. and i did think of a few of the combinations you mentioned but my mechanic just had this rb26 sittin there all ready to go so it was just too tempting.
Peter Grey In Gidgegannup did it for me. Top skyline mechanic. He used to race them and knows them back to front, inside out.
whats your real name? how do ya know my bro?
HAHA thx Lauren
he bought a car. Ended up buying off someone from here, i cant remember who though.
Its a white SII done 80,000 km, nearly dead stock besides bigger front lip and 17's. he paid $16500. Its very tidy.
Yup, deffinately smokin some good stuff! haha
Car Is amazing to drive now, i cant believe how much more torque the 26 has. even off boost it is different car.
So far the 20 gearbox feels good. The redline oil got rid of all the little crunches.
My only issue at the moment is the fine tuning of the microtech. Its been running mega rich and using a bucket of fuel. Cold starts where a bitch but that seems to have been fixed now.
Im thinking i made a mistake going for a microtech over a power FC D-jetro. But you live and learn.
Cant wait for some dry weather to really be able to try it out. at the moment i cant even hit boost in 3rd if the roads are wet!
remix your car looks sweet. what ecu are you using? How many kms to a tank are you gettin?
The last job wayne did for us. Not sure if thats any help as you want advertising but they do all that stuff too. He is pretty cheap. This job was less than 300 our price
Wayne from linear concept is a really good bloke. Has been in the industry for
ever and is cheap. His mobile is 0412 958 898. He does all our work at the car yard so if you tell him Ben from Mcinerney Ford sent you he will look after ya.
I reckon it looks really good, but im a bit of a fan of the loud look. Subtle seems to be the in thing at the moment, but individuality is what modifying is about so if you like it, do it.
I wasnt saying the 20 gearbox is as good as the one for 25. I meant that neither are invincible with that sort of HP so may as well use the 20 box coz they are so cheap to buy.
Im using the rb20 gearbox runinng 230rwkw. only drivin it for one weekend but it feels fine so far. IMO its not worth putting the 25 box in coz they still break an the rb20 box is as cheap as chips to replace. Just use the best gear oil you can find.
