Well my N1 RB26 just died, not sure what exactly happened, but the outcome is a broken exhaust valve on cylinder 6, which has munched the piston and damaged the combustion chamber, upon stripping the engine, i have discovered that while the bore was unscathed of damage from the valve, the block is cracked.

500-600hp will do that i guess.

Now im still unsure of what path i want to proceed down with the engine build, do i get an already built one and then sell off parts from my old one, just buy a bare block, source a new JE piston and fix the head up, etc

So guys, show me what you have and then ill start making decisions on what i available, and what path to go down, $$$ of course are not something i want to throw away, so i want to do it right and once.

I guess that why the previous build was done with an N1 block, purely because they are stronger, didnt help me though

I too was thinking n1 block for my new build, but you must remember an older block has been through more heat cycles and making it stronger.. I've yet to decid either

Partial grout filled block.....sorted ;)

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
