while the rb26 is a decent motor, it is getting a bit long in the tooth now. it is old technology and there is much nicer engines out there that will make more power reliably with less work. and they will make more power down low.

a 6L LS motor with a turbo hanging off each side would go great. would fry the tyres rather easily as well with the amount of torque it would be putting out. or keeping it in the nissan family, even just a VQ37 from a 370Z with twin turbos, or a vq38 out of a r35 would go well in there. both engines would be lighter than the rb26, probably sit lower and further back in the engine bay, and make good power with good reliability.

You raise good points, however I would put forward that the technology in any of the LS motors would still be obselete to that found in an RB26 mainly because they are designed with different purposes in mind.

Also, labelling the RB26 as long in the tooth is in my view a little short sighted, given the motors your using for your comparison are LS series.

I think it is also important to raise the point that any sort of comparison between engines should involve relative capacity as this is often the most important factor when we are talking motorsport classification; which, at the end of the day is what engine comparisons are all about right :P ?

Obviously anyone can integrate any motor with any chassis combination, with wide ranging and myriad modifications making useful comparison between units useless, however, not everyone wants to build a sports sedan but I digress, we are getting off topic !

Please don't take this as a personal attack I just figured I should elaborate on what i said :blink:

Cheers,

Mitch.

V36 Skyline SEDAN with all the luxury featurs + R35 GTR drivetrain with stovetop tail lights :)

I'd call it the VR365 Skyline aka Very Rare Year - Play on Letters and having 365 days a year...

Or the not so cheezy "GTR 4 door" :D

Somehow we put the Wrx motor in the back, should fit pretty easy, and plenty of room for another diff in the front, then we just change the gearbox ratios so it has 5 reverse speed s and one forward and wallah!

Something like that anyway, so let your imaginations fly and if anyone is awesome at photoshop please do what i cant... :blink:

so you want a boxer engine in a VW body hey?

Have you heard of a Porsche?

S13 + La Bomba

= stupid hoon showing off to his hektik mates

and then comes on here posting that his friend

did stupid stuff and crashed but instead its acutally him and

hes to much of a pussy to face it

and rb26 into KPGC10

Pierreee mate u lil frencher i thort i already told yu to give me sum of ur french chik cuzinss,, they can hav a good time wit me in my fuly sikc nisan silvia mate :blink: . ur lack of a modechem of gratitude in the form of chikz wil caus me to go chuck norris on ur ass.

No, i almsot hit a median strip wen my rear end sliped out, i wasnt the one who was drifting and hit a guter, that waz my mate trying to impres a chik, yu big poofter go make me a cordon blur

ohh and again

back with the racism

and serouisly learn how to spell

"chik cuzins thort yu fuly sikc modechem caus wen yu big poofter"

serouisly i can imagine what you look like in real life

some cappa bumbag, champion trackies and a mullet walking around in

a group with all your hektik mates

your a sad flamin mongrel

ohh and again

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
