My project car

[DaGr81]

Recently i bought a second skyline, i thought to myself i need something that i can really work on, so i went out and bought a 96 GTS car is in excellent condition, now i thought to myself i either do a big turbo conversion or get a gtr engine in there. If i get a gtr engine id like to keep everything stock except the intercooler, boost and exhaust system and fool around with a new ecu. Whats cheaper? What is all ur opinions?

RB26 or a hks turbo conversion?

if you wanna throw money around check out an rb30det conversion

use twin rb25 head (which you have) and rb30e bottom end to give you an rb30det

much more torque, more power and good wide power band, 3 litre should be sweet

rb26 will set you back $6000 odd? you should be able to do rb30det for around the same maybe a tiny bit less and it should be better in stock form

thanks mate, just outa curiosity, how much power can it produce just with a rb30 bottom end and rb25 head?

check out below URL its a 40odd page thread for the rb30 conversion

its been done many times with good results, unsure of rwkw with stock parts

i would say rb26 because of the potential the motor has in a std form.

twin turbos on gtr motor is the go ,great responce and up to ~500rwhp(450awhp/335awkw) with mild mods

interesting .... well i'll be doin some reading up on that then aye thankz mate

rb30 should able to be done at a lot lower cost than rb26 ... as you say 6k+ for rb26 or $+/- 500 for rb30e use the rb25 head you have, then all your support mods, fuel pump, injectors, ecu etc etc, prolly do the lot for under 3k ...

not talking from expenience, just from all the reading / research I have done ...

cheers
