Hey Guyz

I have my RB26DETT Godzilla engine up for sale. After my project has fallen through im left with this awsome piece of craftsmanship. Originally it was going to be put into my ever first car, a VL commodore. But since money and time problems have arised i have not been able to finish it. This engine has had the works in being reconditioned.

The engine has been bored out making it just under 2.7L with brand new Aries forged pistons. All gaskets and seals have been replaced down too the oil cap seal.

Brand new sparks, ignitioncoils, timing belt, crank gear and much more.

Recond pumps and polishing.

Most of the reciepts have been kept having spent close to 6 grand in recon and parts. The engine block and head work was done by Hi Tech Cylinder heads in Malaga which included bore, acid bath, pressure test, and port 'n' polish of the head.

This engine has taken about 8 monthes to be completed having everything done precise. This is one powerful engine and would be suited for any conversion.

Please recognise the effort put into this engine and its potential.

Engine comes with a custom made sump for rear wheel and the standard for 4 wheel drive conversion.

engine also comes with a full workshop manual in cd and printed form

Price is $9,000

contact me on 0421859091

cheers

Shanon

PS i only as of now have photos of the block and head back from the shop. I will get a final picture ASAP

it will basically just bolt straight in!!! just bolt your gearbox on the 26 and it should be ready to go. im not to sure about the ecu but i was going to be getting a 25 harness to go on the aftermarket ecu (Wolf 3D) so you might have to look into it unless you are going aftermarket. to be honest the aftermarket ecu has more potential and you would be able to go much further with the project.

your application would be the best suited for this engine as the extra stuff that is needed you already have in your car.

as i said before it also comes with the custom made sump for your rear wheel drive which is a lot lighter than the 26 with the front diff on it.

pistons are the main upgrade, the block has been bored out, head ported, brand new high quality gasket and seal set, everything else has been serviced (i.e turbos, pumps, etc) because there wasnt anything wrong with them but i wanted everything nice and clean and in optimum working order.

i talked to the guyz at the shop and they basically said the standard rods are the exact same strength as any other aftermarket rod out there. maybe a difference of 1% so there was no need to get them. this was from there own experiance.

i was going to change the crank and cams but they were fine as well and there wouldnt be anypoint changing them. instead they serviced them also.

    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
    • Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
    • I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
