RB20e with all the fruit. Narrowed rods, polished ports, shave 10mm off the deck, de-counter-weighted crank, lightened pistons, copper head gasket, titanium valve guides, quad valve springs, sheet metal air box you name it. THEN jam a toyota supercharger on it. should easily make 65rwhp. 70 if we push it

That's tough luke, Omy's, only 3yrs???, i thought back then you had a 2.7, or 2.8 kit, and some apexi RX6's etc,you were going to run methanol etc, you username was the same, and you car ran 10.8 or something with a glide and a stocky Rb26 with hi-flows?? in the car originally. But that was way longer than 3yrs ago cheers darren

rx6's are a type of blitz brand turbo. usually run as twins on 6 cyl, but have seen run as a single on smaller capacity 4 cyl. not sure if there is a current modle of rx6 turbo out now, but most i have seen are older modles. usually good for around 1000hp on a full house rb26. the old school v-max gtr from japan is one of the more famous cars to use them.

Can't remember the specs, but I remember the 600hp fiqure it was pumping out. I don't know how it keeps together with that much power.

I think Alan Rajab is the man to see if you want to know about the Ultimate RB as his next engine that's destined for the Racecar next is outa this world... Ill give you "All" a hint and let the cat outa the bag a little, im sure Alan wont mind as it's going to be marketed anyhow to the RRD lineup of product's once it's finished... For quite some time now, Alan has been working with very high profile well known Australian Engineering company in designing and making the Ultimate RB, the soon to be completed RRD Race Series RB30 Racing block... This is not a normal RB30 block that's been tuffened up, this is a "Totally" newly designed block, it has been designed to withstand boost pressure's of around 4 bar and probably beyond if desired, it has also been designed to withstand very very high RPM's, (12k+ RPM im told), it comprises overkill size stud's both top and bottom, with a killer newly designed main's cap setup, it's also designed with the GTR owner in mind and will have full provision's there for everything to go in a GTR aswell and already he has 1-2 big name GTR owner's that have expressed great interest in this project... Oiling area's been changed around a fair abit and so has the cooling side of thing's and it's all for the better i might add, Basically it "Will" rival a 2JZ for strength and we are excited as all **** for this thing to be finished and fired up... It has a billet crank of larger capacity than 3ltr's it has Titanum Rod's which have been custom made for this thing, They are lighter than the Alloy's but are waay stronger than steel's for repeatability, It has a fullhouse drysump system, the head on it's own is a work of art and would possibly be one of the most expensive head's ive ever seen on a 6cylinder, it really has to be seen to be beleived...Turbo, well the boy's at GARRETT have helped tremedously and all's i will say is it is "LARGE LARGE LARGE" done to what RRD have specified... Alan has spent up Very Veery big over a long period of time and the sponser's have contributed tremendously toward's all of this so a massive hat's off to them, i will go on to say the HP quoted will be a conservative 1300hp to start with, and note the "to start with bit"... That engine will be looked upon once the development of the SOHC setup has touched 7's which where hoping is not to far away... Backing this in the Racecar will be a Fullhouse G-Force clutchless 5spd manuel gearbox which Alan already has purchased a fair while ago, he has everything else to go with it so it's ready and waiting... Waiting on the competition to heat right up and then it's going to get really entertaining and will only get alot faster from here... Steve Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
