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.

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
