HRMMMMM 179 grey motor vs RB20E

[bkc]

Thank you to all.

But there is no useful information! !

In seriousness, wait!

epolly. yes the VR38 is a superior engine. For starters the RB26 was designed in the 80s. VR38 about 20 years later so there has been a fair bit of change during that time. The VR38 is apparently developed from Nissans Le Mans engines so it does have a racing pedigree too. it makes 500hp standard VS RB26 280hp. it has a better oiling system. more torque etc etc. so yes it's a better engine.

Bugger it, I may as well say something border line controversial.

Most of Nissans Le Mans engines sucked wang. Infact their efforts from the mid eighties were a border line joke.

There, I have said it now.

HRMMMMM 179 grey motor vs RB20E

hahaha 179 is a 2.8 red motor.138 is the grey from the old humpy's etc

173 is 2.6 red motor

There's a 202 in Perth with a turbo hanging off the side making in the region of 470rwhp!!

P.S. I love the generous use of engrish in this thread.. makes for mucho giggles while sitting at work

You could always just go and buy the current issue of Wheels magazine.

ask in 20 years if the vr38 is still producing than it a better motor , if all the new gtr`s blow up 1000 k down the road than can u say it a better motor just because it has a bigger number on a piece of paper

[89_SIL]

Your mum > both engines ..... goes harder and has a superior lubrication system...

[JBird]

VR38, all alloy with magensium timing gears, titanium this and that, better oiling, bigger capacity etc. etc. I'm sure if you made the engine uncompliant with current emission laws it would have a fair bit left in it.

You can't compare. The retail on a crate motor for one of those would be exorbitant.

Also there is a guy in sydney, Mark, out at St Mary's that has a 202 turbo powered LJ that runs 10s. He's currently chasing 9's, that thing is a monster. I've seen the pics of his cracked/blown blocks and they would make you cringe. Lucky their around $100 for a replacement block lol
