[polishstorm]

Hey Guys...

I have an RB26 in my R33 and would like to find out if its an R32 or R33 engine.... What are the tell tale signs between them?

Cheers

AFAIK R33 have Plastic timing gear cover. R32 have metal? Could be as easy as that but I dunno. I have R32 VSpecII so it's black plastic for me

balancer is totally different.

I dont know what either balencer looks like so I can really tell that way lol... Also mine for some reason has RB25 tappet covers. But I think the timing cover may be a metel one...

Are you sure it's an RB26 and not just a 25 with 26 timing cover?

[polishstorm]

No its just the tappet covers lol... the block does have RB26 stamped on it and all the other hardware is RB26 such as multi throttles and such
