are you talking bout chris smith ax53b he said he just worked on an engine that made that sort of power.

[ax53b70p25]

its actually Chris Milton of adelaide engine developments, and yes he has just meta-laxed an n1 block and heads, pistons ,rods etc? for me and assembled it to formula1 tolerances, and he has told me i can rev it to 11000rpm it is an rb26 still and produce around 1100hp. all was rather cheap as i am good friends with his son Sam.below is a photo

oh the spl t51 should be ok or i may have to look at a t88 but i dont want too much lag.,.....

i wholly recommend chris milton as an engine builder

thats a s#&tload of grunt! Is it for track, drag or.......... street??

on a side note, i'm aiming for a reliable 600-700hp

I was planning on using the tomei sump baffle kit, wanting the best protection for the motor.

I've read on here that some members use an extended sump with baffles, should I be doing the same ? Or is this just overkill?

[GTR1993]

Im using the hi octane setup, hopefully its good...

no definately go the baffle and also get a tomei oil restrictor fitted to the block just some extra insurance rb's dont EVER like being starved of bearing oil. they hold alot of oil in the heads when revved hard.

F1's rev to 20,000 rpm.

51's will still have plenty of lag on a 2.6.........did you consider going 2.8 or even 3.0 litre, more cubes = less lag.

what bottom end and sump setup you running that can handle 1500hp?

[GTR1993]

Its chris milton engine developments, adelaide engine developments are different and located like 10-15 km away.

for 1500 hp id be going dry sump for sure....

[nos man]

for 1500hp i would ditch the rb26 and go for a jz

but did someone say t51r spl?

yes i did consider an rb30 but i want it to scream, i will most probably settle for a Garrett 3037 pro(No smaller) thats about 800hp with 80mm gates ,my r34 gtr has hks gt-rs' and that pulled 343kw on willal's dyno but i cant rev it too hard 8500rpm on standard motor with 270 cams and injectors, power fc and boost kit with z32 Afm's . with my 32gtr I want heaps of mid range all the way to 11grand, i wonder what that will feel like on mallala's twisty turn 1. in a 1200kg r32 GTR, i spose the motor might last a little while longer with less power ,but you're right the 51's will be lag monsters, its really a tough choice, any suggestions?

dry sump for sure.

yep, check this............unless you're interested in straight out drag racing alone, this may be a better solution for the street over a 51 or especially an 88, lol

Monster Twin Setup

thanks, will call them monday.

Not sure, but some quotes i've been given were astronomical!

What price is astronomical?? Has the engine actually given up yet...

Also consider putting a sump baffle in and the oil restictor in the head like the others said.

Have they told you what brand bearings,pistons,rods they like to use in the quotes?

I would source all your own parts like dangerman 4 said..and would want to see them going in the engine.
