Well, with 30k Euro in the block, crank, head alone, you aren't going to get there with the $4000 euros left in your 50kAUD budget. Shit, your not going to even have an engine. Still need rods, pistons, All bolts/fittings valves and valve train gear, dry sump system, manifolds, turbo, gates.

Thats before we get to clutch, GB, shafts, diffs.

Budget well and truly busted.

e30K is $44k aus.

now calculate redability of parts. shipping, price of living you are pushing it to the very least $75k AUD.

labour

tax

aussie car dream boats who over charge on EVERYTHING

now, we are in the $200k AUD mark already.

Lol didn't know AUS was this expensive.

Iet's stop talking about the $$$$$ as I already have the quotes here which are around 50K for everything . No need to jump in and go offtopic for this. Engine rebuild is max. 30K. Been quoted over and over. It's not that expensive. It's not a R35 GTR. We are talking here about a R32 GTS4 with a rb20det.

Don't forget all those fuel pumps!

Hang on. You have already been told what it will cost. So therefore the spec of pretty much everything must be known. So why are you asking questions?

By the way, a 1000HP RB20 is probably doable. It's only the same as a 1300HP RB26.

BUT IT WOULD BE SOOOOOO POINTLESS. There is no point. What could you possibly do with it? A 1000rpm power band at 11k is going to be sooooo much fun to drive.

That same amount of money, spent on good cocaine and hookers would benefit you so much more.

If you already have a quote, what in f**ks name are you hoping for here?

You are not going to achieve 800kw with a 30K euro motor, at least not more than once. Australia is expensive, but it's perhaps 10-20% more expensive, and I bet we do RBs better (and probably cheaper) than anywhere in Europe.

It's not a must to reply.

no comment again on this.

Yeah,

Lots of stress on the body when you're putting out 1000hp....especially in an older & fragile R32 chassis.

Chances are the panel gaps will get warped.

To achieve 1000hp with an RB20, you're going to need to stroke out the block to 2.4L (go with I-BEAM conrods as they can be lighter yet attain the same strength as a heavier H-Beam) and cement fill the block for high boost application,then strap on twin HKS GT3040 turbines, convert to solid lifters, full E85 conversion and fuel system to suit, modify the cylinder head as necessary (including a set of drag spec camshafts) and optimise port design etc etc, and lots of other stuff.

Done.

BMW got some manky 4 cyl 1.5L iron block to hold 1500hp years ago, reliably too, they got at least one race out of them...

I say go for it. Post results.

wow. . . send me the money(aus dollars not euro monopoly money) and i will get a nice 25/30 engine for you(engine only), whack a rb20 cam cover on it and no one will know

google the britten motorbike, he made all the parts at home, you could make a new head for the 20 which would be awesome, if you stroked it down as zebra says you could copy the design of a hayabusa head

don't worry about the panel warping thing, if that happens just paint it orange and jump in and out of the windows ;) golden

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
