Rb26 Powered E30 M3

[SSM]

So, I have done some more things

Painted the blasted parts in black wrinkle paint. Started off by polishing the RB26 letters, and had some slilcone on them so the paint would not stick.

Painted

Mounted the AN12 breathers

Then, I started to build the downpipe. I started this friday evening and did not get f**king anywere. My mind did not work. So I called it the night, and just watched some tv series instead. So today I started fresh and it all came down to me quick, so after a couple of hours I had buildt the downpipe.

I then wiped some dust of the engine bay and mounted the painted parts to get a look at what the final product might look like.

Sits pretty low in the bay. Good for lower center of gravety.

That is all for now. There will be some weeks before next update. Untill then, take care and stay tuned for the next one. Tanks.

Amazing build, loving how well you document everything!!!

[AMR33]

Great work mate. This is coming along nicely.

[Ados31]

loving this, something different that's for sure.
I'm a little bit envious at the pace of the progress though.

Can't wait to see this completed, kudos to the effort in the build.

Smashing it! I love it.

I'm putting an RB26 into an E36. You're doing great!

Looks so nice.

I me very surprised you are using those coils though. Hope they work out ok

Why? After all I have read about coils. These seems to be the one with least problems.

Such an awesome combo of the car and driveline. Beautiful E30 to start with too!

Certainly looks like you have done your research in regards to the oil control issues on the RB26.

I got some things done with the car this weekend. Not that everything can be seen on photos. I removed the engine to put on the remaining parts in the oilpan. And sealed it for this time.

As usual, I start off with a coffee break!

The air filter I will be using.

And the filters for the catch can

Got some silicone radiator hoses for R32GTR, but I do not think they will fit.

Oil drain for the back of the cylinderhead arrived

And some fittings. AN10 and AN12.

Fitted the head drain

Welded myself an AN10 for crankcase ventilation where the drain for the rear turbo was before.

Got the ATI Superdamper torqued to spec and the waterpump pulley. As well as the complete TBS and intake bolted up with gaskets.

Flywheel and clutch mounted.

And that leves this for the next time I'm traveling to work on the car.

Using the RB25 gearbox, and it is leaking from the front and rear shaft. Car almost catch fire yesterday because of it.

It is now drivable and finished. Been testing yesterday and got some minor things to take care of.

Got some oil leaks that is nr1 priority.

[AMR33]

Damn sorry to hear! Hope you get that fixed

So is that an RB25 Gearbox from an R33 GTS-T?
