I Want More Power =[

[Fryday13]

Ha yer I do like the 4wd and as much as my dream car is a series 2 coupe just not practical for now

One definitely good thing learnt from this is there are certain motors for 4wd, I would of otherwise probably bought the wrong type So essentially another option is the top half of stagea motor plus intercooler etc?

Does the extra 100cc in the 26 make any sort of difference or is it an engine for different purposes?

26 can be used, but requires a bit more stuffing around, wouldnt bother with an RB20, in standard form they only have a hand full more killerwasps and lack low down torque

Cheapest and easiest option is the 4wd RB25, and you can use the coin saved over buying a 26 on a bigger turbo etc

By the power of Grey Skull thats smart thinking

The RB26 has solid lifters and twin throttle bodies etc etc etc. It is a different engine really, and if you do have one it will take way more thrashing than a RB25 could ever take. Its usually $4000 just for the engine and no turbos.

I know the RB26 has the same amount of work as the RB25 would, minus the pipe work involved, its needs some small body mods. Ive seen it done, the chassis rails are the same in a GTS-4 as a GTR same goes for engine mounting and gearbox case. You can literaly drop the RB26 into the engine bay. All you need to change is the clutch, ecu, wiring, and intercooler and exhaust. But like everyone is hinting, Its a lot of money compared to a RB25, where im sure you will have as much fun either way.

I did buy a RWD engine when i was rebuilding my GTS-4 and i used everything internal which was no problem but seriously there is no way in hell i would go through what was needed to use the block. Its a totaly different shape. Just remember make sure its a 4WD RB## what ever!

I wouldnt be so sure about that.

Many more popped RB26s around than 25s

and they have 6 throttle bodies not 2

Solid lifters mean precisely shit unless you want to rev it to 10k

Ports are the same but 26s have slightly larger valves and have 12mm head studs instead of 11mm

Oil system is identical

you could do a 300rwks Rb25 for the price of an old shitty standard Rb26

Yeah , better value for money in the end.

I always thought it was a twin throttle body x 3? I don't mean just 1 throttle body if thats what you thought. Probably right in saying people pop RB26's because of the restriction in the oiling system and cooling system on them not alowing to much more over the stock power? I can see how a RB26 needs a lot more money spent on it.

Everyone wants to REV to 10K? i know i do. Problem is there is to much info to talk about these things like this just over the internet, everyone needs to get a there hands onto these things more often. If someone was rebuilding there car on these forums i would drive right to there house to get stuck in with them.

Fryday13 - have you thought about looking into getting an engine sooner than you think and buying an engine stand and working on it over some time out of an engine bay ..... if you have space? Everyone i know has done it the engine bay way and would rather the engine stand now.

Yer ive looked into it briefly and I would love to im just afraid my knowledge would be lacking and I havent got the money now sort of thing. Space is definitely something I could get though

Neos have solid cam followers too,

the max you can go with the neo heads, add ferrea valve springs retainers spring base locators, max 10.8mm lift cams lathe 2-3mm off bottom of cam followers
