I'm reading this and cannot believe it. Awesome work guys. Makes you wonder why people fork out for greddy plenums, big HKS turbos, aftermarket exhaust manifolds, aftermarket this and that and still get no where near a 10 second 1/4.

Do you sell the motor as a package? If only you had contacts in Aus so we could get our hands on one.

Thanks for the info RIPS, I am a bit speechless too, but I spose you guys have been doing it with skylines a bit longer than us here on the main island:p

do you guys have a website?

2fardown, I would imagine it wouldnt cost more than 3-400 tops to send an engine across the channel.

Think I will check out that link now:)

2fardown and Steve, its good for us to finally prove you don't need a huge checkbook to run 10's. An identicle bare engine to the one we run is NZ$3500 for a 2wd and NZ$4500 for a 4wd, this includes our "not yet disclosed" tricks to keep it all together.

You then just add a turbo NZ$2000, and injectors. Cheaper than a rebuild on a RB26, lots more torque, more power and if you pop it its probably only going to cost 2-3k to fix it......Rob

..errr no ! Most cars will need aftermarket internals just to get into the 11's.

The boys at calaisturbo.com would argue otherwise :D

Hi everyone im totally new to the site but just wanna share my two cents. RIPS has the right idea here. There are alot of people in Australia that pull those sort of power figures with stock internals. The main reason that people change their internals is cuase they want their car to run with higher power figures for longer. And like was said earlier as long as detonation is kept under control i dont see any reason why a stock bottom end cant live with those power figures for many kilometres. PS: just an example look at the car on www.rh9.com.au that thing has stock internals and is making some awesome power figures

FitzTech, although I agree with what you are saying, I am not as amazed about a 4 year old RB26 bottom end (I dare say with less than 40000 k's on the clock), compared with a tired old RB30, non-turbo no less, bottom end. Very impressive.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
