Sounds like heresay to me. Plenty of people with RB26DETTs running more that 300kw (at the wheels) without issue: you just *must* make sure that all the ancillary systems are in place to support that kind of power and all necessary modification have been made.

If your really concerned, source an N1 block which has thicker walls and different oil galleries designed to protect the block from cracking.

Get Zoom, 08/04 mag, has a Phat 350Z 334kW twin-turbo on the cover blue 350Z.

It has an article about RB26 tuning, and they are saying 400kw@rw is what you can get on stock internals, then you'll have to start uping the internals and start looking at some other things as well.

RB26's are very strong engines, it wouldn't be so well known if it wasn't.

Up get take the RB26 over 1,000hp and over 700kw@rw, companies can sell 1,000hp RB26's wouldn't be cheap at best though.

Ha biggest crap i have ever heard.

Teh GTR Block can NEVA crack :)

All serious now, mate there are guys making well over 900 HP and the block hasn't cracked.

Oh and if you go to supra forums dont type the word GTR.

The Supra Boys seem to get a a bit of bullshititis and upset.

Must be because they worked out they bought the wrong car.:)

Hi guys,

I've seen plenty of supras making more power than gtrs with stock internals, they are doing 9s (street tyre) in the US the record is 950rwhp on stock internals, there are countless making 700 to 800hp, I've never heard of a GTR doing this on stock internals or not even near so come back down to earth NISMO 400 R N1, In my point of view the supra has the upper hand as you can do much more to it with less money. Its not hard to see that the market has a wider range for the Skyline/ GTR within Australia as.

my friend has cracked his block...i'm pretty sure he told me he was running 500+whp though.

i have been told to be wary of the engine twisting when making in access of 450hp? i think getting stiffer engine mounts would help. there's also something that looks kinda like a shock absorber which kills or minimises the twisting.

Yes, Nismo makes a series of mounts for the RBs, and there are "anti-twist" bars. Of course the best option would be to get an N1 block...

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
