Complete And Detailed Rb26dett To Suit Vl Or Skyline

I have a complete RB26DETT engine which has been modified to suit a vl (bolt it in and go - all it needs is a tune). In saying this - it would fit straight back into a Skyline with no hassles.

The engine is orginially out of a R32 GTR.

To make it suit a VL the following has been done:

* Custom Modified Sump (taking it from 4WD to just rear wheel).

* New Power Steering lines etc (all custom made to suit VL)

* Custom Throttle Cable

* Wiring loom modified to VL (designed to be hidden)

* All custom intercooler pipeing

* Custom front pipe to cat (2 into 1)

The setup comes with -

* Everything you need

* Vipec Plug and Play ECU

* Intercooler (GTR cooler) and pipes to suit (inc clamps and hoses)

* Drift BOV

* Wiring Loom to suit Vipec and VL (Vipec is the GTR version - looks completely stock).

The engine has been stripped down, checked, cleaned and put back together with all new gaskets etc. Anything that needed to be replaced did.

I have detailed this engine from ground up.

The covers have been smoothed where needed and painted in clear over base custom Silver.

Lots of bits and pieces polished by a professional (Twin Turbo Pipe, fuel reg etc).

Everything else such as water lines have been hand polished.

Nuts and bolts have been replaced with all brand new stainless steel.

Many hours and bucket loads of money have been spent to make this engine look the part and work 100% for a VL. It wouldnt be hard to get an engineers on this as its still fairly stock.

To get the engine alone and make it suit a VL without doing the detail I have done usually costs 7k straight up.

Once dynod these engines in this condition and simple mods that are on this should get around the 220 rwkw - 250rwkw. With more simple mods it can get a lot more without spending BIG dollards.

All the hard work is done for you - its a simple drop it in and go. It was going to be a show/street car with all the right things done.

I am sure I have probably left out lots of info, but please if you have any questions just ask.

No expense has been spared here. You can see from the pictures how many hours has gone into this

Below is a run down of costs that I have spent on this engine over the period its been mine, and you can also see the value for money.

RB26DETT Engine itself - $4500 (have reciepts)

Vipec Plug and Play - $1800 (have reciepts)

Custom Front Pipe to cat - $350

Power Steering Setup - $500 (Have to spend this to convert it to work for a VL)

Custom Hidden Wiringloom - $700

Cooler Pipes - $900

Polished Twin Pipe - $150

Other Polished parts - $150+

Custom Sump - $300

BOV - $200

Total $9550

And of course - that isnt including all gaskets and replacement parts I needed to get, or the detailing work either. Stainless steel bolts and painting etc - that all costs money. Plus hidden costs of throttles cables etc. Plus any labour i may of had to pay - as you can see Id be saving you money and time (LOTS of it)

Engine is currently in the car which is un useable on the road. Inspections are welcome, you can hear it running etc. The winning bidder will need to be aware the engine wont be available for pickup straight away as I will not be taking it out unless it sells.

I am open to offers above 7k. Will also consider a swap for stock RB30ET plus cash my way. I am wanting to put the VL back to stock and sell it.

Any questions please feel free to email anytime - [email protected]

Cheers for looking.

hi mate,

Very slightly OT, but can you explain what they did to the power steering to fit the VL (which is alow pressure system isn't it?)

very well detailed engine btw!

Hi Kent,

From memory there wasnt a lot that needed to be done. Just costs in buying the parts. It has an R33 GTST pump and just new lines made for it. Also, because I moved the battery we had to relocate the Power Steer bottle etc, so its modified to suit that. If you would like more detail, I can contact the person who did the power steering to get a more a better explination.

Cheers,

Matt

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
