Hey guys,

Eventually i'll be starting my R32 project car. I'm just researching all my options before i go ahead with it.

I'm trying to decide what motor to use. I'd be looking at around maybe 400-500kw mark. But i don't know whether to go:

- Crazy RB25DET

- RB26DETT

- RB25/30

- RB26/30

- RB30DETT

Who's had experience with these motors? What would be the easiest to get that sort of power out of? What would be the most reliable?

Thanks

Nick

Maybe you should state your budget so you get better answers

i don't have a budget yet...i don't even have the car at the moment. This is merely research. but for example if the 26/30 is the best option i'll budget for that. if the 30 is better i'll budget for that. It'll be a very long term project

for that sort of power you're talking BIG money, so reliability shouldn't be too much of a factor, as you'll have to rebuild the entire thing.

What do you plan on using the car for?

If you're going to be spending massive coin, why not go for something a bit individual? I read of a TT LS3 R34 awhile back, putting out some huge numbers.

I would possibly lean towards an LS series engine...but i would prefer an RB i think

lol, 400 to 500rwkw is a big difference is drivability and cost

My advice? R32 GTST, strip it bare, get the rust out, only put in the parts that are required to make it move and get rego, rb26, eagle rods, cp pistons, jun pump and crank snout, n1 water pump, surge tank with 044, decent valve springs, clean up of head, big cams, to4z for big power or r34 n1's for response, nismo twin plate clutch

Then lots of fuel and tyres.

Easy

400 is my main aim....but if i get to 500 i'll be happy.

Lets just say 450 to be safe lol

I'm still undecided whether to go GTR or GTST too..i'm thinking gtst tho but i'm not sure. mite have that as the power car..and just have a stock gtr maybe...if i'm made of money by that stage :cool:

I want at least 400 as i said..would the N1's get me there? Would i need something bigger?
