RB26DETT Swap into S14: Vids and Pics!

[underground]

Hey Guys,

I am getting my RB26DETT 98 Silvia back tomorrow after being shipped halfway across the country....

Here's the pics and vids.... www.undergroundmotorsports.com

I am a little concerned as the sound of the motor in the vids sounds a little off...

The motor has cams and some head work....

I don't have any experience with the GTR's, so this is the first GTR motor I've heard...

Something sounds a little off to me... But the shop that performed the work feels confident everything is cool....

Opinions are greatly appreciated...

Sweet

Good to see some people in the USA giving the RB26DETT the respect it deserves

[underground]

Yep, Yep.... But, I am really worried about the engine noises its making....

Can anybody check it out?

[lukits01]

sweet... is that a S15 strawberry face convertion?

What does the noise sound like?

[Chris32]

I had a listen, the only one where you can here it is when it drives off in the car park, it sounded ok to me The shots of it running its hard to hear the motor clearly

No smoke coming out of it, thats always a good sign

Just keep a eye on the knock level on the PFC hand controller

Firstly Underground. Excellent choice mate

In the second vid I can hear what you're talking about. The car seems to have a lot of trouble idling stably. Could be a tuning problem, or fuel delivery problem (doubtful as it clears up when he revs it), dirty/incorrect spark plugs or an air leak. When you get the car I would whack a fresh set of plugs in it (ensuring they are gapped properly) check all the inlet plumbing (from the MAFs to the turbos, turbos to IC, IC to plenum - everything). See how that goes. The engine seems ok though, think of it as more of an ancillary problem.

Enjoy

My car did the same with the PFC plugged,when at idle it would go up and down always hunting.What I did was go into the Idle settings and bumped the second idle setting up to 1270 I think.Have a go at playing with different settings,you wont do no harm.

Nice beast to :aroused:

these is a bit of a rattle in the vids too dunno if its from the car but it sounds very wrong

CAMs could cause the idle problems as well.. and he has..Apexi 270 IN/ 270 EX

try putting new plugs in..

On the PFC put more fuel into it, at idle and see what happens.

I had a similar problem with a Rb25, upped the fuel intake at idle and ran heaps smoother. Also is it idling at 750 - 800 or lower? Also is your exhaust straight through? With a hollow cat ? and how many resonators do you have on your exhaust system ?

and gapped them.

The rattle sounds like the exhaust is not attached properly yet. I wouldnt worry about that. Apart from that the car sounds fine.

[underground]

What plugs do I buy? What part #? Obviously nobody here in the states is gonna know RB series part numbers?

Also, what should I gap them at? Or do they come bolt-in from the package?

If you could, get irudium 8, pregapped tp 0.4~5 mm. or copper plug gapped them to 0.5~6mm

are you gonna paint the carbon panels?

[underground]

No, as Cwings (Sponsor) would be very upset...... Obviously, if I painted the carbon, it would defeat the purpose of their sponsorship...

Take care!
