Hi,

Most will probably say what the f**k are you doing.

but yes, i do want to convert my rb26dett to a 26de.

Reasoning: just finish the build on my 32gtr, and i want to enjoy that. however, i still have a standard rb26 sitting around....along with a standard 72' datsun 240z...so that should clear it up abit more.

I dont ever plan on selling the s30 and im tossing up between keeping it original l24 or going rb. my reasoning towards the rb conversion is that since i dont plan on selling it and keeping the L24. i might as well go all out...

What kind of things would need to be done to convert the standard rb26 to a na screamer. im awayre of the pistons to up the compression. but any thing else?

imagine this...

a RB26DE, with super high comp, with HKS V Cam (optional if you want any low end), stupid duration cams, 6 flutes and a redline at 10k in a 240Z...

brap brap brap brap brap brap

but say if you skimmed the head all the way to a 10:1 surely it wouldn't be "that" bad right?

10k redline N/A ITB would be sick.. and stupid as long duration cams, but of course will need some form of VCT to give it more poke down low.

i would honestly rather keep the Z n/a. and what better engine for it than the rb. i dont really care about the power, my gtr is there for that. Im all down for the screaming high revs bouncing off trees when i go for a drive. i think it would be better if i just na a rb26dett rather than buy a 1 of 200 autech rb26? last i heard they were goin for 6k...IF you can find one. LOL. rb26/30 na would be affordable.. jsut swap over some parts n vwoahlah. (ok maybe not that easy) but within reach. ive been trying to source a autech rb26....not happening.. =\

i pm'd him. hopefully he replies. im hoping to go to his workshop since he is fr sydney, and check out his work. his build showed it got 170rwkw... which isnt much. but from a FR car that weighs 1000kg and an engine that can rev over 9k. mmmmm

Why not RB25DE NEO ?

Why not RB25DE NEO ?

Great option.

It's never going to be a power house like a turbo motor. But this would be a great option. Cheap motor, set it up using headers and ITBs. No need to even open it, besides cams. Enjoy the noise and cruise in a awesome sounding and looking car.

Leave the power to the R.

DO IT

skimmed the head because the 8.5:1 compression will suck donkey cock, bring it to like 9.5:1 or even more if the pistons don't foul the valves.

then mod the intake plenum and install 6 flutes, bring the rev limiter up to 10k (I'm sure it will spin easily to that safely as it's now making 1/2 the power)

then whack on some retarded long duration cams...

brap brap brap brap hahah

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
