For those that remember, my RB26 rebuild is done.

[SootyR32]

Now I just have to drop it in. It's taken 10 months for various reasons, one of those being cash.

Anyway, off the top of my head, here's the build:

Nismo N1 block, brand new from Japan, bored to 88mm

Wiseco Forged Pistons, 88mm

Standard crank

Standard rods shotpeened and balanced

race valves and springs (can't remember brand)

1.6mm 3 layer Metal Head Gasket (once again, can't remember the brand but same as used in NASCAR)

Black metal bearings, meant to be 10 to 20% stronger (again, the brand escapes me but Larry perkins uses them)

Head ported and ground

Cams still stock but will be replaced soon, as for the turbo's

WOLF 3D VER. 4 ECU

Labour has been free except for the porting and boring, yet it has still set me back around $12,000 so far.

Hopefully we'll drop it in this weekend.

Oh, by the way, brand new Exceedy 3-puck race clutch as well.

Also, as I used a stand alone head gasket, I have a standard head gasket for sale which came with the full RB26 gasket kit.

Loads better. Even after the rebore its got heaps more meat than a standard block. Plus it has more finning on the block itself. I didn't get a full N1, just the bare block. I have reused my own oil/water pumps, etc.

[PHATR32]

how much did the block set you back?

[SootyR32]

It was just under 4 grand, though I think the retail is around $5000.

[PHATR32]

Well, at first I'm hoping (after running it in) for around 250 but I'll replace the turbos, injectors and fuel pump before I start trying to get it back to what it was (320) and higher. Would love to see around 400rwkw by the time I finish.
