Engine Rebuild For Rb26dett

[GTRKat]

Hey Guys,

Firstly, please let me know if there is somewhere better that I should have posted this. I threw it to the local Canberra one but haven't had too many bites yet!

Now, I am sure this is out there somewhere but I have been searching for ages with no luck! Basically I would like to rebuild my GTR at some stage. I want to do a full rebuild, mostly for strengthening so I can get some more power out of her and so I know that there are good quality parts in there and what stage they are at. I don't plan to wait until I break it, this is something I want to do in my own time when I am ready and when I am prepared (well hopefully this will be before I break it!).

So basically I'm just after a full list of parts that are required. I have seen various people's posts but they don't go into huge detail. I'm not after opinions on brands or parts at this stage, just a lost of parts themselves. Will research into certain bits as required when I find out what they all are. Figure I can slowly start purchasing and accumulating stuff

Any help will be greatly appreciated, I'm the first to admit that I don't know shit about this sort of stuff just yet, I learn as I go!

Cheers,

Kat

Damn, I was having withdrawrals with the forums being down. Was hoping they'd be back up and I'd have some fresh helpful replies today! Surely someone has something to add here

Depends on the budget, use and power of the car

eg. You dont get rods, if your not chasing over 400rwkw.

etc etc

You are better off throwing your post in the "Forced Induction Forum"

You will also find plenty of prior posts about the same subject.

Ok thanks will try the forced induction as well. I've spent bloody ages trolling through here and the GTR UK forums too but can't really find specifically what I'm looking for.

I'm not after anything stupid in terms of power. Currently I have only basic mods such as pods, boost controller, power fc, exhaust (all Apexi) along with some coilovers and suspension work and some Garrett 2860R-7 turbos.

It's only going to be used for driving around and some track days. I'll be happy with somewhere around 300-350kw at all 4 wheels if my turbos are capable of handling this. Otherwise would still like to go ahead with the rebuild with the view of changing the turbos down the track.

I just want to be really prepared when I get this done and I'm a bit clueless at the moment!

Another good idea for when you are doing a rebuild is to have the rear Hicas removed, rather then having it locked off completely, unless you are happy with the GTRs rear end play. Keep in mind for the GTR it is pricey to have the engine removed, so it is better to get everything done at once that can be done. OH! and a absolute must is to have upper oil galley restrictors put in, that alone will solve the bottom end being starved for oil (if you do a fair amount of drifting, a oil pan baffle would be a good ides aswell), aswell as a after market crank collar (Tomei?) for the sump.

I've heard of a lot of people having the rear Hicas removed or locked off... I shall look into the benefits of doing that but up to now I haven't had much of an issue with the rear end play.

Yes I'm hoping to do this properly and do everything at once while the engine is out, including getting the head ported and polished. No drift plans as yet but that doesn't mean that it isn't going to happen! Thankyou for your help it's all very much appreciated!
