Difference In Rb26 Appearance

[BlackRBS13]

Visually how can you tell the difference between an r32,33,and 34 RB26DETTs. Mainly what is the difference in colors of the different motors. I am about to order an R33 RB26 and i wanna know how to make sure i dont get a 32 for the price of a 33

Engine number is the best way, there are visual differences but can be changed to look like the later model, its harder to make it look like its a 34 because of the CAS and exhaust cam, Much easier to make a 32 look like 33 engine though .

Get the engine number and post it in the NISSAN FAST thread, ask nicely and someone will look it up for you

Yes they are black , like i said before only minor differences in appearance and can be changed so you cant tell, like oil cap, cas etc....the main one is crank but you cant see that . Just check the engine number , then you will know for sure .

I've read that R34 motors do not have an ignitor at the back of the head as they are incorporated into the coil packs?

Correct and the CAS won't fit the 32+33's unless you change the exhaust can as well .

I think blackrbs13 is only concerned about 32+33 engines. I think he has been told he is getting a 33 and he wants to make sure he doesn't end up with a 32.

Cheers Jerry, received loud and clear

I remember reading in one of the import magazine that R34 cams are a good upgrade for R32!

Yeah i mainly was just trying to learn how to verify that motor i am getting is a 33. I asked about the 34's also mainly because you see RB26's all kinds of different colors in magazines and I thought maybe some of the stock motors came in different colors. So I was just asking for the sake of information. Thanks for the input though guys. I am gonna try and get them to give me the engine number before they ship it so i can check and be sure.
