Item: RB26 Engine

Age:Approx 100,000kms

Condition:Good

Price: $4000 or ono

To Fit:GTR or conversion (What car)

Location:Perth, WA

This engine will be removed from my R32 GTR around the 10th Dec. So you can here it running, have a look at the oil pressure and the overall general condition before that date. I will be carrying out a compression test before it's removed.

Since importing the car in April 2005 I have done around 10,000kms on the engine. Unsure on the exact amount of km's but general condition the engine and paint starting to flake off the plenum would suggest around 100,000.

The GT-SS turbo kit was installed in July last year and has approximately 5,000kms on it. An Exedy 9 Puk extra heavy duty clutch was fitted around May 2005.

The engine comes complete minus the following parts:-

Injectors + Rail + Regulator

Dumps

Wiring Harness

The alternator, power steering pump and aircon compressor are not included.

The cam belt was replaced prior to the vehicle leaving Japan (the speedo read 3,500kms, now reads 19,100 ish).

With a fairly safe tune the car made 404 rwhp on 19psi using a D-Jetro computer (not included in sale but can supply the map).

Please no low ball offers (they will be ignored) and I am not interested in swaps or breaking it up at this stage.

Freight can be arranged country wide. My suggestion is Air Road Direct. I paid roughly $300 to get an RB26 freighted from Brisbane to Perth.

In Johns defence - not strange at all to want to Just swap engines, even if there is nothing apperntly wrong with the one you are taking out (especially if you are going the next step up in power). It means you can minimise the time your car is off the road. Having an eninge ready to go in can mean having your car off the road for just days, rather than weeks (or months) if you are to take everything out - have it all stripped, measured and machined and then chase the parts you need to build your "tough" RB26.... (or RB28 for that matter)

sorry... just my 2c :nyaanyaa: (going through a similar transition myself...)

So the reason for the new RB26DETT?

Strange to just "Swap engines"

Have you had the compression check done yet?

New engine is an HKS 2.8 with everything done and then some. I didn't want the car off the road for an extended period so I bought a 26 that had spun a bearing and got that one rebuilt.

Compression test will be for peace of mind of the buyer and I didn't want to sell someone a dud. Haven't got the guage yet but will post up results when I do.

Thanks

Thanks Jonn

PM me with the results, as I'm interested in the engine.

Can you also find out how much shipping would be to move the motor from Perth to Sydney (Specific post code is 2518)

Thanks

Air Road Direct quote is around $335.

    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
    • Cut sump up and extend. Win win 😂 
    • All, What's the recommended torque for the 1/2 head studs for RB30 twin cam conversion with RB26 head?
