Chev Skyline

Well i picked my 33 Vspec up yesterday and am yet to sell the V8 33, so i have two different extremes in the garage, The torque of the V8 is just un beatable the rb26 cant compare to it, but then again its apples and oranges....

The V8 is awesome, different and original, turns heads and also better as an everyday driver with much more usable power, oh yeah did i mention its still for sale...

yeah, so it is a little sacrilegious. but having driven a couple rb25s and many a worked V8, the torque delivery seems far more instantanious & brutal in the V8s. dont get me wrong though, i love taking my little rb20 past 7000rpm. and i'm not so sure of this carby business though

i agree that turbos are a great way to increase torque! he should bolt on a couple of rb25 turbos onto it, then give me the keys... buwahahahaha

Well it goes the other way too.

Some guy in perth (f*** knows what car) old V8 type is removing his modified V8 for a 1000hp nissan engine imported from Japan. Its for the 14 mile ofcourse but it shows that the RB engine is well regarded...even in the V8 world.

Torque is overrated ...u can have a million pounds of torque but without rotation it means squat.

Want torque ...get a tractor.

How often do you tow a caravan down the quater mile?

I'm calling shenanigans on this one, any progress pics?

[cul202]

you dont like torque dan....? j/k

cant like a 1000hp motor unless you like torque a bit...

to make 1000hp at, say, 9000rpm that engine would have to be making close to 790Nm@ said 9000rpm, which is a reasonable amount of torque.

the main thing i was thinking with a big ol 8 in an RB car would feel alot faster BUT not necessarily BE alot faster just from the way the torque is delivered.

cant really see the point in this conversion myself but its good to see people flying against the flow sometimes

Can you imagine the Chev owners who are cussing about their pride and joy finding its way into a fancy Datsun!

Could be wrong, but if you want to make god power, then RB are great, if you want to make big power, then it can still be done, if you want to make huge power, then id rather be starting with a little more swept volume then 2600cc.... that said i love the sound of a 6-cylinder on song at 8,000rpm

[Danzil]

hehe torque is good mate.....but so are revs!

1000hp nissan engines usually rev past 10000rpm (Marios GTR redline exceeds 12500rpm) Imagine standing next to that howl!

I know what u mean though..good to c ppl try new things. Good on ya!

But...

Long live the RB King

I'd love to see a nice blower strapped to that 350.

Cubes + forced induction = ultimate win.

[Prospector]

this will be a nuts car man....

think of how heavy the commodores are, and how quick they still can be...

take that power and knock off the kilo's its a weapon

I drive alot of chevs... i know... i love both

Corvette Quad cam V8 350ci with 415ci stroker would have been a nicer option but about $30000 worth of engine
