Do you guys know how the RB26 block holds up after sleeving?? and what horse power would the block handle after sleeving :goddam:

Depends on the quality of the sleeves themselves and the machining quality. As for power I have seen a sleeved RB26 make 1300 ps.:cheers

Technically Keir Wilson + John Munro have got sleeved blocks, Keir's reported over 600kw at the wheels. Althought that's a bit off 1300ps.. Wonder how John's doing with his new methanol guzzling dry sumped motor?

DB, wins a chocolate frog for the right answer :rolleyes:

Yes, the OS 3 Litre engine has a sleeved block, but much more engineering involved in sleeving all six & running a spacer plate due to the longer stroke. These engines are a work of art. Would seem simpler to me (if just looking to fix an RB26) to just buy a new N1 block & be done with it(thats what I have done on my street GTR)

As far as my "methanol guzzling" 3 litre goes - it has only guzzled about 1 litre so far - just been started to bring up oil pressure. The car is waiting for a few finishing touches ( as the $$$ allows - bit limited lately), but will hopefully be fired in anger before the end of the year.

I read, heard, dreamt(??) that you balanced the brand new engine prior to running it?

Was this not already done by OSG?

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
