Rb26 Rebuild

[steven22]

So what should be done?, new oil pump, new turbo's so most likely an ECU, new fuel pump.

Anything else I should look into?

[TTT]

LOL.. there goes that budget..

[steven22]

I might add, the turbo's were only taken off to get at the motor, they were externally inspected but not taken apart. Unbolting them shouldn't do anything.

Is everyone here presuming that they were taken apart?

What I want to know from this is why piston 6 melted and has this happened to anyone else.

Also what else should i be asking AVO to check, so far I want:

-air/fuel ratio checked

-injectors checked

-airflow meters checked

-fuel map checked

-ignition timing checked

-power run(may as well)

$6000 is good value.

My rebuild was $9000 as follows

CP forged pistons

Eagle H Beam rods

Tomei Metal head gasket

Tomei sump and rocker cover baffles

Gates racing Kevlar timing belt

ACL Race series bearings

Nissan Gasket set

Reconditioned head and reset valve clearances

All machining, balancing and blueprinting

Remove and reinstall, strip and reassemble

I personally believe if you are going to keep the car and modify then do the best build you can within you budget.

I will definetely keep the car, its a nice car, it may not be as quick as all these guys getting around in their gtst's running 800 pounds of boost with so many guages in the car people think your driving an airplane.

Quite frankly, and I'm rambling on now but, I like how the guages arent 100% accurate, I like how its only got 17 inch wheels and I like the fact that when you race it against something and it wins, and dont get me wrong, it wins alot, you can say that a gtr will beat [insert car], not a gtr will beat a porsche 911 turbo no worries, dont worry about the 500kw's at the wheels or anything. I'm sure that I will catch the "mod" bug eventually, but at the moment my stock gtr and I are gonna spend some time thrashing some vl turbo's and preludes with big drift wings you can hang powerlines off.
