RB26DETT 240SX, HCI Magazine Project Car

[underground]

Hi guys,

I am with Underground-Motorsports.com, a 240SX/Silvia performance shop in Little Rock, AR USA. We are currently building a 1998 240SX with RB26DETT for HCI Magazine as their 2004 Project Car. The motorset is due to arrive in two weeks and we are trying to get an idea of what mods would best suit the motor to obtain 600rwhp. I am aware that the stock internals can handle alot of power, but I'm curious as to what the first mods to the engine should be. Cams, rods, pistons, etc?

From our studies so far, our two biggest challenges are going to be keeping traction and chassis flex.

Because there is little information on the RB26DETT motor on American websites, I am hoping you can give us a suggestion of some basic mods we can do to the engine immediately upon arrival. I know that this engine can handle well over 1000+ hp, but I don't think the 240SX will.

I will begin posting pics of the swap soon to keep everyone updated on our progress.

Any help you can give would be highly appreciated.
