Hey Guyz

I have my RB26DETT Godzilla engine up for sale. After my project has fallen through im left with this awsome piece of craftsmanship. Originally it was going to be put into my ever first car, a VL commodore. But since money and time problems have arised i have not been able to finish it. This engine has had the works in being reconditioned.

The engine has been bored out making it just under 2.7L with brand new Aries forged pistons. All gaskets and seals have been replaced down too the oil cap seal.

Brand new sparks, ignitioncoils, timing belt, crank gear and much more.

Recond pumps and polishing.

Most of the reciepts have been kept having spent close to 6 grand in recon and parts. The engine block and head work was done by Hi Tech Cylinder heads in Malaga which included bore, acid bath, pressure test, and port 'n' polish of the head.

This engine has taken about 8 monthes to be completed having everything done precise. This is one powerful engine and would be suited for any conversion.

Please recognise the effort put into this engine and its potential.

Engine comes with a custom made sump for rear wheel and the standard for 4 wheel drive conversion.

engine also comes with a full workshop manual in cd and printed form

Price is $9,000

contact me on 0421859091

cheers

Shanon

PS i only as of now have photos of the block and head back from the shop. I will get a final picture ASAP

it will basically just bolt straight in!!! just bolt your gearbox on the 26 and it should be ready to go. im not to sure about the ecu but i was going to be getting a 25 harness to go on the aftermarket ecu (Wolf 3D) so you might have to look into it unless you are going aftermarket. to be honest the aftermarket ecu has more potential and you would be able to go much further with the project.

your application would be the best suited for this engine as the extra stuff that is needed you already have in your car.

as i said before it also comes with the custom made sump for your rear wheel drive which is a lot lighter than the 26 with the front diff on it.

pistons are the main upgrade, the block has been bored out, head ported, brand new high quality gasket and seal set, everything else has been serviced (i.e turbos, pumps, etc) because there wasnt anything wrong with them but i wanted everything nice and clean and in optimum working order.

i talked to the guyz at the shop and they basically said the standard rods are the exact same strength as any other aftermarket rod out there. maybe a difference of 1% so there was no need to get them. this was from there own experiance.

i was going to change the crank and cams but they were fine as well and there wouldnt be anypoint changing them. instead they serviced them also.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
