The car has had its 100,000km service, timing belt etc.

The stock airbox has been removed (prior to me buying) and replaced with pod filters. I am getting the stock airbox off the seller though.

Thanks everyone for the info, much appreciated.

Depending on what u want the car to do no point haveing a car with 500kws with stock brembos Quote every 1 else service the arse outa it change all the fluids drive it around 4 a few months do another service ull soon find out what needs to be replaced after a couple months. Help the car breath better, altho the stock airbox will handle 300kws+ anymore than that id be going for upgraded air intake ! Zorst yet again depending on how much power u wanna put out determines the size of it 250kws, may as well keep the stocky 300, 2.5 to 3inch, 400 + 4inch its endless ! No point haveing a $2000 zorst when your only running stock boost, keeping in mind do it 1ce pay the price tho. Plan it alll out then Build a the thing from the ground up mine is going a 300awkw GTR first things first brakeing suspention, no point haveing all that power if u cant put it too good use otherwise fast fours will dominate the heavy skilly around corners, and spent all that money on the excess too get the Skille fixed :( Do it once do it right

      Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
