RB 26 Sleeving

[seeyagtr]

Do you guys know how the RB26 block holds up after sleeving?? and what horse power would the block handle after sleeving :goddam:

Depends on the quality of the sleeves themselves and the machining quality. As for power I have seen a sleeved RB26 make 1300 ps.:cheers

Thanks for your reply, I only need them to hold up to 350rkw cheers mate

1300? in OZ?

Technically Keir Wilson + John Munro have got sleeved blocks, Keir's reported over 600kw at the wheels. Althought that's a bit off 1300ps.. Wonder how John's doing with his new methanol guzzling dry sumped motor?

DB, wins a chocolate frog for the right answer

hmm, surely steve-sst and sydneykid, you both agree that a properly sleeved block is stronger than a standard block :confused:

Some Engines are but not RBs.

That's interesting, haven't heard that about rb26s before, why is that?

Yes, the OS 3 Litre engine has a sleeved block, but much more engineering involved in sleeving all six & running a spacer plate due to the longer stroke. These engines are a work of art. Would seem simpler to me (if just looking to fix an RB26) to just buy a new N1 block & be done with it(thats what I have done on my street GTR)

As far as my "methanol guzzling" 3 litre goes - it has only guzzled about 1 litre so far - just been started to bring up oil pressure. The car is waiting for a few finishing touches ( as the $$$ allows - bit limited lately), but will hopefully be fired in anger before the end of the year.

I read, heard, dreamt(??) that you balanced the brand new engine prior to running it?

Was this not already done by OSG?
