my mate has an r31 with a worked rb30 in it (still only a 3.0L) and it put down 212hp (158kw) out of 1 motor, then another motor put down 185hp (138kw), and another motor was in the 190hp range.

he's run a 14.0x in street form, and a high 13 with the exhaust taken off at the cat.

if building an NA straight six, i would be looking at using an RB26 with some high quality reciprocating components and big lift and overlap in the cams...

i think you could make more power from 2.6 litres than from 3.4 litres purely based on its ability to rev out to 10000 rpm

still, 3.4 litres from an rb is a mean accomplishment

and with the more discplacment = more torque down low, it kinda balances out not being able to rev past 8000 rpm

but, on the other hand, 10k rpm in a na would be sweeeeeet

sound almost F1 like, or like a gallardo, but with 6 cyls instead of 12 (or is it 10?)

Autech have done this in Japan a number of years ago:

AHAHAHAHA... i was looking at those exact same pictures 10 minutes ago...

looked at the pics and went hang on, those are proper NA headers and an RB26 head... but for $1600 as the current bid price, thats a little steep!

The revability wouldnt be a fair trade for the results IMO, eg, you wouldnt be able to stretch its legs around town compared to something like an RB turbomotor ;)

It would be like driving an S2000

But regardless.......lets see the 3.4 results :(

we cant compare a NA motor with a turbomotor

im saying i think you'd have better results if you were intent on building an NA inline 6 with 2.6 litres capacity.

comparing NA to turbo is like comparing apples with oranges.

ah f**k it, why dont we just get some e46 BMW M3 front cuts out of japan and run those motors...

3.6 litres

6 throttles

high compression

246 kw NA power

my thoughts exactly... in highschool my friend's M3 was the car that put me onto the NA track...

the R&D behind it is just unbelieveable!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
