RB26 Short Motor $2800!! Perfect rebuild kit for an engine suffering the dreaded spun bearing saga or just somebody wanting forged internals for a steal!

Price includes Engine Block, Long Nose Crank (>1000kms old), Precision Motorsport H Beam conrods (http://www.precision...otorsports.html)and Arias 86.5mm forged pistons only (no ancillaries / sump etc).

The engine block has suffered a very small split inbetween No 3 and 4 cylinder which has been repaired using Irontite. Initial indications were a few drips of coolant under the car after shutdown, then the repair was carried out and it hasn’t leaked since. I am selling simply because in the race application I use the car for, it will not last the season and hence I need to replace it. Engine is still in car and running, interested parties are welcome to hear it running if need be.

Cheers,

Andrew

willing to separate and send crank only to sydney

Hi mate,

not at this stage, the engine is still useable in its current build state. I would if I have buyers for rods and pistons.

Is it possible to get photos of the repair? Leaking only water? Thanks

Ben,

Here is an image of when it first leaked. This was when hot and cooling system pressurised.

Hi -

Engine is still in car and running - will not be removed until bottom end is sold. Would still prefer a buyer for the bottom end complete, however if I were to split it crank $950 rods $700 pistons $700. Will not be splitting or dismantling till all is sold.

Cheers

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
