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!

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
