500hp Atw Rb26

[Flash89]

hey guys. i am wanting to rebuild a RB26. will need a shopping list for what to get to have the engine this power.

thanks

[T04GTR]

rods. pistons. poncams and 1.6bar on a t04z. (505hp)

aftermarket ecu. 900cc injectors and exhaust. clutch and a aftermarket gearset for the box.

Well 370rwkw - pretty much your usual RB26 build.

R33 GTR crank (or 32 with collar)

Stock rods with decent rod bolts

Forged Pistons

Usual pretting/maching and so on

HKS2530 or similar

Bit of a head tidy up

Injectors

AFMs

ECU

Exhaust/Dumps

Clutch/gearbox (if you dont already have)

Probably freshen the diff

Suspension/brake upgrages

Replace all hoses around the motor etc etc.

Your easily looking at 30k spending, if not more.

Plenty of info on ~370rwkw RB26's lots of em around.

[Flash89]

cool cool, its going to be a street driven car by the way

[R31Nismoid]

RWD i take it?

Probably better off going the 300rwkw/GT-SS RB26 route for a streeter IMO.

Mine with 250rwkw is harsh enough, let alone when we wind it up a bit.

The usual forged bottom end; no real need for major head mods - just a clean up when you fit Tomei poncams; T04Z or GTSS or GTRS's; power fc, 700cc+ injectors,bigger fuel pump; oil mods won't hurt and also a decent oil pump like JUN, HKS, Trust etc

There will be other requirements, but these are the basics.

yeah i am dropping it into my GTS-t when ever i get it done. and yeah RWD. with turbo. i am after twin hight mounts.

[NXTIME]

You don't really need twin highmounts to achieve the power you are after, unless you just want them for the sake of having them. My twin 2835's made a lazy 411rwkw on 1.1 bar, but the abovementioned turbos in previous posts can easily make the power you need, which is plenty for a street RWD car.

[Flash89]

really for the sake of having em and just looks awesome

Cheers

ye, i too would advise against high-mount.

While it looks good (depending on turbo choice), its not as functional when there is a wide range of products out there that easily fit your goal, and use the stock gear tahts tried and proven.

Highmounts just means massive cost, for no better gain. And well... 2530's really arent that impressive (size wise), so high mounted from the looks, they would be so-so

Are you after the show aspect here mainly?

[Flash89]

yeah mostly looks and also how many R32 GTS-ts with RB26s with twin high mounts. i find this my way to be different

[Lukaz]

if your gonna spend the cash, atleast upgrade to a gtr. fark 500hp on a street driven GTST. Atleast the gtr will behave abit better, and its already got a RB26, watta bonus!

[T04GTR]

you will fry 3rd with ease

[Flash89]

will a R33 box handle it??

[T04GTR]

not really. up to 450 yes.

[R31Nismoid]

R33 box will take 370rwkw no problem.

Main reason for that is you wont have any traction no matter what you do

You'll be fine IMO in RWD with a R33 box. I raced mine with 370rwkw 3-4 big days (20+ runs each time) and cant say i noticed any issues... but then i didnt have one iota of traction

[Flash89]

any ideas what hight mount setup you can have??

[2BNVS]

twin high mounts would be a massive waste as the turbs would be fairly decent sized (unless u had plans to build an 800+rwhp car), and for street ur mums camry would flog the shit out of u, have no boost till 6k lol... i have seen a guy get custom manifolds made up for smaller gt2870's or something rather to mount them high, (HPI magazine) although it looked funny as they arent that big in terms of size...

id personally go twin 2530's low mount save money on manifolds and have a crazy response set up

[Flash89]

they are internally gated arnt they??
