I Think My Motor Is F**ked

vspecv: Intersting: can I ask what the determing factor is in making the RB26 that much harder to get in/out?

probbaly one of the most time differences is an engine can be removed from a gst with the gearbox dettached, this is much more difficult on a gtr.

we dont even bother now, we usually remove the box first and then the engine, dropping the whole lot with suspension is another way, but not our prefered way.

gtrs are just a lot more fiddly and harder to work on.

also u have driveshafts, intercooler hoses, most things are harder to get to, starter motor, bellhousing bolts etc,etc..put simply gtr engines are a pain.

rb25 and rb26 are worlds apart in labour hours.

to remove and refit a gtst is around 6-7 hours, rb26 is closer to 20

Whoops!! Sorry, my bad :tomato: :Oops:

its really how damn tight everything is that makes it a pain too, starter motor, top gearbox bolts etc, and of course the transfer case, front drive shaft etc.

$1500 seems quite reasonable for 15-20 hours work from a decent workshop

If you are later on down the track looking at a daily driven 250rwkw or more then rebuild the current RB25 with a set of forgy's.

If not and youd be happy with up to around 230-240rwkw every day then get your self a second hand RB25, throw it on the dyno and check out the fueling/ign. timing and all should be fine.

R33 Krazy, let us know how your leak down/ compression tests get on, my car did exactly the same thing, thought it was a piston/ ringland. Did a compression test, turned out to be mint, all my issues have been turbo related~

Bolted up a RB25 turbo and fixed everything-

i think it sounds like turbo seals myself from personal experience with your symptons

[R33_KRAZY]

i like ur thinking...puts a on my face.....but i still got it booked in 4 the test newayz...just incase...thanx 4 all the opinions guys..much appreciated...

also if i jus get another stok turbo.. wat would be safe boost levels 2 run at so as 2 avoid this problem again...

10psi is fine i would say, as long as you keep the fuel upto it.

[R33_KRAZY]

cheers cameron.....hmmm does ne1 know y this has happened 2 my car....or would it jus b cause of the tubo's age..???

[cameron]

Have a look at the side of the engine - turbo side (at the back were cylinder number 6 is) were the exhaust manilfold joins on, see if theirs any oil running down the side of the block

Strange question seeing as we don't know what's ACTUALLY happened yet. Wait until the professional has had a look dude.

[R33_KRAZY]

cameron....nope just had alook an there is NO OIL watso eva......is that good..?? plz say yes

[cameron]

haha yeh sure is... that hopfuly means your internals are good and no broken pistons...

But we'll wait till you get a compression test done

[cameron]

If you have oil like this then its broken

[R33_KRAZY]

yay..im gonna jump up an down 4 joy at the moment.....hehe there's not even 5% of that oil there....
