rb26 rebuilt engine with exceptional attention to detail

Hi,

I've had my r33 rb26 engine totally rebuilt including head.

Unlike many rebuilds, nothing has remained untouched and all screws, metal parts, springs have been cleaned, polished, electrocoated.

Some components have been sandblasted and painted or powder coated.

All machining work performed by orger who worked on the r32s that ran in the v8 championships.

New end spring plastic brackets were machined for throttle bodies.

The motor has not been started and sits in a RWD 300zx.

The project has blown out and while in no rush, I'm considering selling and SEEKING EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST.

Engine owes me over 30k, so will say asking for 30 and open to reasonable offers.

Located near chadstone in VIC.

Please no low ballers as you will be ignored :-(

Stick with the project mate. Unfortunately you'll never get your money back for what you've spent so finish it off and get some enjoyment out of it!

What sort of boost/bar is this engine designed for? I spent $14k on my engine and no one will buy it. Just keep it! Never get money back on engine builds. The engine is worth 10-12k worked.

Hi guys, yeah selling anything is an undesirable experience these days.

Reasonable offers are within reach of asking price.

Prior to starting this build thought long and hard as knew it would be expensive, but as most have experienced it somehow always blows out.

I also looked high and low on here and the web for 12+ months so know that what i have is special and wont be replaceable if i sell this so in no rush.

Motor and parts are capable of big power but i went for injectors that would supply more than enough initial power. 

If you look up my turbo setup on youtube its very impressive on an rb26.

So while listed for sale as many before me will attest to, not overly excited about selling it, but will if price is right.

Cheers

Paul

Currently not listed anywhere else nor have I been pushing to sell it. That said open to reasonable offers.

Not interested in splitting up motor, but will consider selling motor without hotside or clutch..

I've seen a lot of builds and only 1 other motor was to this standard.

Not only is this built for power but every single piece has been cleaned, polished or re-coated making it look new again.

Hi, the motor has not been started as still needs to be wired up and needs a custom sump for its RWD application.

Its sitting in a z31, so would be much cheaper and faster dropping this into a GTR. 

Its capable of much more but my end goal was around 550-600kw. Current injectors will apparently give you around the 400kw mark which build will do with ease.

There have been no shortcuts taken on this motor as there was no intention of selling it.

Cheers,

Paul

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
