Hey forum just popping in to attain some info from the experts. Just wanted to know what id=s the max hp to be expected out of a rb26dett engine? Looked and searched the forum got 400rwkw but that wasn't confirmed, so I just want to know what the awkw figure would be just with bolt-ons. Gonna get myself a GTR and just wanted to know what I can do to the stock engine power wise that will make it last as it will be a daily driver I was looking at say 373 kw at all the wheels can the stock engine handle that?

300kw is beyond the limits of stock internals

you should get it built if you want 300kw

theres no upper limit i guess, how much money do you have, gtr700 makes 1100hp i think

Money is here and there (meaning scarce)after I get the car might have about 5000 left for whatever upgrades that can do, but can always borrow some money to get the car where I need it to be and I am not in a rush so it doesnt all have to be one time. Its completely stock so 3000 probably going on intercooler, pfc, and exhaust. What I really want is a gtr that has 500 horses is that enuff hp to do burnouts and 360's?

dont get a GTR to do burnouts and 360s

helis will kill the stock motor due to oil starvation and youll be in no position (presumably) for a 10k rebuild

Just get an exhaust, power fc and tune, some cam gears and a timing belt change (if needed)

Theres close to 250rwkw without raising a sweat

The factory intercooler wont need to be changed

if you want to do burnouts and 360's get yourself a RWD car.

You can go about 300kw on the stocker engine after that things are gonna go sour on you. get the basics, and have ur turbochargers checked, if they go bang on you then youd be up for a expensive build. but look at your finances first, you cant have a killer car and eat out of the dumpster.

Daboss, a GTR isnt for you. $5000 will only half cover the engine rebuild. Let alone the other 10k you'll need.

The maintainance costs are far beyond what you'll be able to afford, and would eat up the 5k alone in a couple of years, if not sooner

Especially if you wanna rape and abuse a motor.

There is no chance in hell the RB26 will crank out 400rwkw if you just wanna do burnouts.

I'd give it a few weeks of that treatment and it would be dead. Even @ 300rwkw. No stock RB26 will live a long life on the limiter.

Most track GTRs with 300-330rwkw eventually shit motors be that 1-2-3 years of use in such a manner... actuallly.. none have lasted to my knowledge

Ok thanks for the input guys, wow guess the GTS-T is the way to go. :) really wanted a GTR though. So what would I need engine wise to produce 350 awkw in a GTR?

Do not want it just for that, Just wanted to know if I wanted to cut loose from time to time if I could with a gtr and how much awkw would it take. Just wanted the ultimate performance car that would give me the most out of my dollar and that would rival many of the evo's, supras, rx7s and mustangs we have over here basically on a stock motor.

Supra hands down, forged internals, you can make 400+RWKW on stock engine and gearbox no probs and there are heaps of example i can give. Unbelievable cars that are extremely underrated, try to get a newish one though 97,98 or even s15 isnt to bad as its light cheap to mod and maintain compared to 6cyl and will give you all the sideways burnout action you like, whilst also being reliable conisdering its a 2001mdl compared to 97 etc

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
