My Rb26 engine

[doxximus]

thats ok munky isnt trained either, he wets everything in the house

[funkymonkey]

so how did you find out how to do all that fancy stuff?

/me ignores dox...

[DJ_L3ThAL]

nice job bro, gotta call ya soon to bout getting that part of ya

[Guest INASNT]

no....Apart from the flowed head i am getting i do everything myself...right down to the block boring....so the money you guys pay other people on doing stuff...i get to spend on the parts...i would be interested to see how much work some other people do themselves....i find it interesting to learn about stuff from actually doing it yourself apart from just paying someone or reading on the internet....My mind is a like a dry sponge!I look for stuff to absorb and hope other people can also learn from the things i have learnt...this is why i aint usually at any functions or partys ect...i can always be found in a workshop or machine shop somewhere......usually playing with something out of the ordinary!

I would love to do that also but if i spent time doing that i wouldnt have $$ to do it coz i wouldnt be at work. Catch 22

Spare time ie days off.

[predator]

you needs lots of time to DIY but the results are worth it..

my goal is one day to pull out an RB engine and put it back together I've done it for the rest of the car so don't see how the engine can be that more complicated Its all nuts and bolts afterall, not rocket science..

Good work anyhow.. learning to do it yourself is the best thing about owning one of these stupid-ass cars

[JAGR33]

Y u going for hardcore internals and then only twin 2530's???

Y not twin 3037's and make those internals earn their keep

INASNT: Maybe troy is going for something more responsive and rather than outright power!!!! Do I see a Mine's GTR in the making????

[ylwgtr2]

I am after a good strong reliable engine...thats why i used those internals....the car gets cornered really hard (twisty fun stuff....not so high speed)thats why i am thinking dry sump...I learn my stuff from trial and error ....some books and the internet can be way off but also some people i know also have knowledge that i have gained access to and learnt off...and you would be suprised on who these people are.....a peice of one persons mind and a peice of another and put it together and you got a good bit of info...however storing it can be a problem sometimes ;)however some people dont know about a certain thing you ask them and they guess but not telling you they guess and more often than not...they are so far wrong its not funny!This is done sometimes due to people being embarrest to admit they dont know (and some of the time they are from popular workshops!)I have alot of respect for very intelligent people that say "jeeze i really dont know about that" Bottom line is we ALL learn new things everyday but unfortunatly some people dont want to share them....some of us do....i dont know that much but what i do know i am willing to share!I enjoy motivating people hence my posts/pics...they are not to show off or anything else...i hope they are welcomed!I learned a hell of a lot from the builder of this unique engine...sorry for the speach

[predator]

is that a quad cam v8 with a supercharger? that next? looks monster!

[ylwgtr2]

hahaha yes its quite impressive isnt it?Its a jaguar V12 with 2xXJ6 heads fitted...its is an absolute work of art....billet cam cover,billet inlet manifold,billet sump..its breathtaking

[predator]

..you're right though - if you think you know everything then how are you going to learn anything new.. life is a constant journey of the mind

[doxximus]

yeah cant learn anything without mistakes, and plus you get more of a handson feel for things once you try it yourself

[paulr33]

for those interested its a trust clear cam cover (featured in first pic) for the rb26

[paulr33]

i think

[funkymonkey]

yeah a few cars have em now, they sold like hotcakes in japan when they came out. Din know they were Trust tho.

BTW troy u still lurking around in Brooklyn? might come by n say hi.

[predator]

yeah.. i was thinking a clear cover one to show off my fancy blue trust timing belt and camgear but then i thought, whats the point i got a stupid intercooler piping in the way. Nice on a GTR though!

[aybee]

its it just the angle in the photo, or is two of the three access "holes" in the clear cam gear in the wrong place to access the screws?

[EnricoPalazzo]

The clear cover is only there to look pretty, not to adjust timing. Adjusting the degree of timing on cam gears, is a precision intensive change, so i wouldnt want anythin in the way when doin it.

[inark]

ur a wise man troy and i always enjoy reading ur posts with the stuff ur doing and like u say learning stuff (and to drool )... i hope when its all done i can see it all in the flesh

[funkymonkey]

bags first dibs on a ride in it around the backstreets of brooklyn
