I know it was a shitty ass post but i kind of ran out of time, rb26 over sized to 2.7L forged pistons stock rods new bearings, metal head gasket head studs, the head is ported and polished ferrara valves hks springs retainers and 272 cams cam gears, stock intake manifold custom exhaust manifold for twins t3/t4 turbos greddy oil pump ati damper electromotive engine management 1000cc injectors, the motor is in a s13 body i hope this answers everyones question if you have any please feel free to ask.

any more detail on the turbos and manifold arrangement (waste gates etc)

I will get the pics by the end of the week and post it, and guys dont be haters if your car does not make that kind of power hahahah.

mate i think its more the fact of common sense, y stinge on rods in a 650rwhp engine? forged rods aint expensive, and do u really wanna be pulling it down again cause its broken one ?

i think u have saved money in the wrong area and the internals r more important than a better intercooler or stuff like that, cause that stuff can be changed later without hassle.

each to their own, and good work as i said :(

I can just see it now.. the media going crazy about a car bomb terrorst attack.

Just stay away from the main city's and our schools!

What if it does (nearly) and we are still haters ?

EDIT: Sorry if that sounds cold, but man can you blame us from the vagueness of the info given, the construction of the initial post, the failure to forward any concrete evidence, supporting information etc. Not to mention the skepticism over your choice of rods, by myself and others.

Props to you if your the real deal, just way too many dickheads around to believe shit like this off the cuff... back it up, or shut it up, thats what i reckon.

KW told me he ran a rebuild n1 engine all nissan std part to a 10.3 with the twin trust turbo set he runs know for sometime before sell it to a motorkana dude (you need to be made some serious hp to run 10.3). His belief was the std engine is good to around 750bhp and the first thing he talked about braking was the block not the rods.

pete

ps i run forged rods for piece of mind

no offence but i will back my shit up alright since you runnin your mouth off but the question is what do you have to to back up with besids a big mouth and a attitude, i know my initial post was shitty and i said that and i also know it is hard to believe stuff like this off the cut but damm give a guy a break here i said i was goin to post it before the week is done then we will see who is talkin shit and who is not.

r stock rods capable of over 650rwhp without failing???

awesome results none the less :D

post dyno sheet :happy:

how do u find the ati dampener? how much are they worth new? where to get em from? any details appreciated mate

I will get a price on the damper for you there is a website you can go to it is www.atidampers.com i am in the us so shippin was not too much, but it is worth gettin the damper i have seen proof of that especially when you are makin 500 plus hp.

There is a pattern here.

Random person who has barely posted if at all comes on here with a thread stating 11ty bazillion rwkw with no dyno sheet, pics or list of mods done.

25 keyboard warriors hang shit on him.

He counters with a few scant more details which contains a comment of a stock part that most people think should be upgraded - eg injectors, rods.

The whole forum hangs shit on him for using that stock part saying his motor will blow up any second now.

End result:

The newbie who has spent many hours and $ on his Skyline thus generating some knowledge tries a few more times but the lines are drawn and he fades away.

Possible solution:

We can't pre-educate the newbies so we have to expect their behaviour and cater to it. Perhaps in a more pleasant manner. Obviously forum slamming is fun but it doesn't add to the community assets.

Have a nice day. :P

Quite a few of the reputable workshops in Australia have told me correctly prepped stock rods with suitable rod bolts will hold quite alot of power and 9000rpm without a problem (as long as youre not hitting 9000rpm all day every day).

I know of a RB26 running 520rwkw in its street driven trim with stock rods, has never had a problem in its life. The only failure of the conrods you generally hear about is due to oil related issues, not the strength of the part itself.

In saying that though, for $900 you may as well chuck a set of Eagle rods in it for a bit of extra safety.

And more importantly he should learn how to structure sentences, not just have 1 long sentence which ends up reading like blah blah blah

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
