Did the same conversion in mine but mines a r33 4 door but the rb26 was worked, forged pistons, acl bottom end bearings the works. I love it, i rekon its the best thing ive eva did to the car,i put a 34gtt gearbox in, lots of wheel spin and fun. :thumbsup:

For sure the rb26 is a great engine conversion for any Nissan I've seen them go in 260z's would have been nice if Nissan had made them 2.8 or 3l from the factory but they are still a great engine at 2.6

HKS V-Cam!

:thumbsup:

Got the car up and runing last night fixed the few issues it had and test drove it. Test drove very good even at 8-9 psi moves nice. Will get it on the dyno and tune it up

Nice, post up dyno chart when done.

Finally got the car onto the dyno only had enough time to get some prelim tuning done up to 10psi as the client wanted the car back so didnt get enough time to install the boost controller.

Here is a video of the car on the dyno, as i said earlier that we used the RB20 gearbox and as you can here in the video the 4th gear syncro is worn and has seen better days.

Enjoy some RB sounds on the dyno.

The new E1280s from adaptronic is pretty sweet isnt it? even the old boxy version was pretty sweet for basic applications. The new one will probably replace the d-jetro PFC in our race car soon for a bit more R&D

Hey Trent

It's a nice bit of gear for the price far more advanced then a dejetro for a track car you have all the nice little features plus the ve tuning i started out with the e420c without ve then upgraded the firmware to ve and was much nicer.

Have you played with and mega squirts?? A mate of mine in qld swears by them the new ms3 has got some good features for a dirt cheap ecu the only downside you have to stick them together but a few place in the states put them together as a built unit.

Been playing around with your favourite ecu tonight pnp wolf v4 on a 33.

To be honest I Carnt go past nistune for any Nissan I really love to use them.

Ahh fair enough good excuse. Would like to get to the states one day check out the cars we are heaing to japan in October after Bathurst tho.

We are going to try do a full Vic season next yeah in the 31

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
