Power On A Budget

[Lithium]

i must admit if you gave me a 2000 model Rx7,GTR or Monaro to choose from I would take the RX7

Combine the best of two of the above to make something suitably ridiculous?

lithium wins ....

[Lithium]

Haha I dunno, I was thinking about putting that other car in there as well. Actually I know, 7litre RX7 for skids and the motor in the other RX7 in a GTR for AWD skids

[Hanaldo]

Still?

Yehhh... You can have your pushrods. GT42 2.7L RB26 with 300-shot NOS wins all day everyday in my books.

Expenses aside. I'd rather the 26. Just look at that thing

[ido09s]

haha, big bottles no throttle!!!

No2 is used by those that cant make power any other way hehe

[Lithium]

Still?

Anything you can do, I can do better...

Keep the insane 26 in a GTR Though to be fair I have considered hunting down an FD with a blown motor and throwing my spare RB25 in it because of that exact car and how awesome an FD sounds with a tuned RB in it

[ido09s]

Blasphemy!!!!!

[ARTZ]

exactly just look at it..bits hanging off it and out of it everywhere, is a mess the V8 fitment is very neat and civilized in comparison..both cars would be just as mental to drive.. But while The v8 looks big, mean, fast and civiized the 26 lookslike a scrappy kid ready to throw a tantrum...

The only thing special about the RB26 is the car it was built for, without the GTR its just another motor

[ido09s]

They both look pretty average to me lol The ideas are there but the care just hasnt been taken

They could both look quite special but they just look like its all been done in a backyard shed..... chances are they probably were lol

[GTScotT]

Dont tempt me for the new car..

I have access to an LS1 and an R154.

[ARTZ]

should of put the LS1 in the 33 ya goose

[ido09s]

Damn bogans, dont forget to put an RM Williams bulls head on the back window either lol I could probably dig up some Mack truck mud flaps if your keen as well

Nice spray job on the underside of the bonnet there!

Yeh just like E85, turbochargers, and superchargers.

Never understood that 2F2F way of thinking.

If that's what you're into, it would be real easy to cover the RB26 in plastic as well. The V8 looks cheap to me.

If the RB was just another motor, Rips wouldn't use it in his drag cars. There's a reason the V8's won't let him into their class despite him being at a disadvantage. Just sayin'...

Funny you should mention RIPS, guess what he's up to now?

Just sayin'

Lol yeh I've seen it. So much awesome.

You know what, I don't even know why I'm arguing lol. I love all these motors. Comes down to personal preference; I would choose the 26 not because I believe it is the best engine ever created, but simply because I'm an RB man.

There was a link to it in a thread here, shall try to find.

*EDIT* Dammit I can't find the thread. Here are his build pics though:

there is no denying the RB is good, but its no better than an LS..

And yeah neat factory look or "Sleeper" fitment is what im into..

there is no way you could drive that RB Rx7 on the street for long without getting pinged ..
