rb26 rebuilt engine with exceptional attention to detail

Hi,

I've had my r33 rb26 engine totally rebuilt including head.

Unlike many rebuilds, nothing has remained untouched and all screws, metal parts, springs have been cleaned, polished, electrocoated.

Some components have been sandblasted and painted or powder coated.

All machining work performed by orger who worked on the r32s that ran in the v8 championships.

New end spring plastic brackets were machined for throttle bodies.

The motor has not been started and sits in a RWD 300zx.

The project has blown out and while in no rush, I'm considering selling and SEEKING EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST.

Engine owes me over 30k, so will say asking for 30 and open to reasonable offers.

Located near chadstone in VIC.

Please no low ballers as you will be ignored :-(

Stick with the project mate. Unfortunately you'll never get your money back for what you've spent so finish it off and get some enjoyment out of it!

What sort of boost/bar is this engine designed for? I spent $14k on my engine and no one will buy it. Just keep it! Never get money back on engine builds. The engine is worth 10-12k worked.

Hi guys, yeah selling anything is an undesirable experience these days.

Reasonable offers are within reach of asking price.

Prior to starting this build thought long and hard as knew it would be expensive, but as most have experienced it somehow always blows out.

I also looked high and low on here and the web for 12+ months so know that what i have is special and wont be replaceable if i sell this so in no rush.

Motor and parts are capable of big power but i went for injectors that would supply more than enough initial power. 

If you look up my turbo setup on youtube its very impressive on an rb26.

So while listed for sale as many before me will attest to, not overly excited about selling it, but will if price is right.

Cheers

Paul

Currently not listed anywhere else nor have I been pushing to sell it. That said open to reasonable offers.

Not interested in splitting up motor, but will consider selling motor without hotside or clutch..

I've seen a lot of builds and only 1 other motor was to this standard.

Not only is this built for power but every single piece has been cleaned, polished or re-coated making it look new again.

Hi, the motor has not been started as still needs to be wired up and needs a custom sump for its RWD application.

Its sitting in a z31, so would be much cheaper and faster dropping this into a GTR. 

Its capable of much more but my end goal was around 550-600kw. Current injectors will apparently give you around the 400kw mark which build will do with ease.

There have been no shortcuts taken on this motor as there was no intention of selling it.

Cheers,

Paul

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
