As nice as it would be to be able to purchase all nitto gear mate trying to get a decent engine built on around 15g

[gtr32zilla]

Ive so far purchased cp forged pistons,spool rods,acl bearings,arp studs all round,jun oil pump, just need ideas on cam duration/lift and valve springs also what turbo to run with to get the most out the 26.

[luke gtr]

all good.

id love to be able to afford their gear too.

maybe one day.

maybe not.

theres a thread currently discussing pretty much this.

cant remember exactly where, bit some were saying you can get a racepace engine(yours rebuilt by them)for 10k incl parts and labour.

may be worth freighting it?

do you need turbo setup?

do you need fuel system?

now we know a rough budget, what do you want/need and what power goals are you aiming for?

twins or single?

[luke gtr]

alot of people say go with -5s.

can crack 400kw and pretty responsive.

tried and proven.

will need a nice big set of dump pipes when installing though.

[gtr32zilla]

Be interested in looking into that thread if you happen to come across it.

Im hoping to get enough help through this thread from past experience builds so i know which direction on parts selection i should take on getting good power from a budget.

Am looking at getting rid of the twins and going single so turbo choice also would help.

I think Dan of ERD fame may still be building engines, and even if he isnt he is the person to talk to about building an RB. I think he is still on here as Elite Racing

[polishstorm]

I was under the impression that Dan was not doing engines and ERD anymore? Health Issues Maybe from what I recall?

[Mr.H]

Jack Brothers will do the machining....best around by far. DONT GO MENDAMS!

JHH Engineering @ Timms Court Underwood can do the rest for you....they can most probs' do the machining as well.

Jesus creepers Luke! RRR block itself is rare as hens teeth yet alone $10k+ to procure .

be better off just getting N1 block from Just Jap cost like 2.6K.

[Beelzebub89]

Not to mention a million dollars on a build and then put a t51 on it? Precision, Forced Performance or one of the new efr turbos from borg warner for sure.

[NYTSKY]

PM fatz. He has an engine and turbo kit ready to go for the money you are willing to spend. All top shelf stuff too.

Dan is still building engines as a sort of private on the side setup, from what i gather, but ERD itself is no more.

Probably a lot less messing around only doing engines.

[NYTSKY]

That's no good. Hope he is doing OK.

Has anyone heard or used a place called PLR engine reconditioning in brendale as Ive got my motor there but don't know much about what there workmanship is like.

[Shazz]

Have heard nothing but great things about PLR.

[gtr32zilla]

Thought so very knowledgeable guys and pointed me in right direction of components for my targets.
