N1/nismo Complete Motor

[kg]

G'day,

I'm looking to buy a new rb26 package like an N1 motor or nismo motor. I want to get it straight from the Jap factory with the upgraded oil pump/sump. Alternatively if the price becomes an issue I will look at buying a stock rb26 from Nissan.

Has anyone done any of these options before, if so can you let me know of your experiences. I want to get a brand new motor asap,

Thanks for any feedback, KG

G'day 2GU UP,

Thanks heaps for that, I will call them tomorrow and find out what spec they are etc.

Thanks again, KG

imho you'd be FAR better off to have something built for those moneys. you could probably build a n1 spec block with all the fruit for less money....

I can only think of 2 reasons to use an n1 motor.

1/ You are building a hge engine and want to start with the absolute best

2/ You have to run a standard motor due to race regs so this is the best you can build

What about the gearbox in these things? If we're talking about a motor that can go to 650-700HP your already pushing the gearbox a little beyond what it can handle, meaning your gonna need to get a holinger. Why not go up-spec factory?

im sure for 12500 you can build a 1000hp engine...........

[djhatton]

for 12.5k you could have stroker cranks and wild internals man....

1000hp for $12500

i dont think so

[djhatton]

1000hp for $12500

i dont think so

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

neither do i.... but 12.5k engine would be very nice nonetheless!

Wonder if that new N1 engine comes with turbos?

[Dahtone Racing]

djhatton - yes it would be, very very tough

ferni - i cant see any intake or exhaust parts in the pics

i think they are just a long motor

[djhatton]

theres a bloke here in canberra - greg tarlington Pro Engines. he's got an awesome reputation around canberra thanks to his strong builds. word has it he's going to be doing OS-style spacer plate 3litre rb26 stroker kits. forged/balanced everything etc etc. i'm not entirely sure what money he'd command for a combination like this, but he'd be a good place to start with your 12.5k methinks!

Surely you dont expect turbos , plenum and all the bolt ons for $12.5 k Andrew .

You just get the long engine with waterpump as you see in the pic but dont forget its all brand new !

Yes a rebuilt engine can be almost as good as new but most times its not , it depends on who does the machining and who puts it together .

There is no way you can built a 100 hp engine for $ 12.5 , you just cant buy the parts for that ,never nind put it together as well ..

[GTR032]

I know you can just get the N1 Blocks..about $3500

[Penfold]

WRXHoon - give me $12500 & ill supply a 100 HP engine

R34 Getrag's handle 700hp no worries (provided you don't hammer them on gearchanges and do massive launches all the time). However the conversion to a Getrag for an R32 or R33 will set you back around $20,000. (including a custom made Nismo tailshaft which can take 6 months to make)

For a GTR 5 Speed, PAR can do a strengthened gearset for $6100 ready to bolt in. 1 ~ 3 straight cut, 4th, 5th helical cut. Dual synchro's in 3rd and 4th (like the late R33 GTR boxes). The boxes are still easily driveable although you will hear gearbox whine from straight cut gears.

That'd be your best option IMHO to strengthen up your gearbox for big power.
