In my opinion the rb26 head is overrated. obviously the engine itself is better that an rb25 but everyone pays to much for these cylinder heads. the VCT on a 25 head kicks ass to! my 2c

In my opinion the rb26 head is overrated. obviously the engine itself is better that an rb25 but everyone pays to much for these cylinder heads. the VCT on a 25 head kicks ass to! my 2c um where am i wrong?? lol whats what i said got to do with what u just said :/ oi man.... rajab arent building my 26/30... and, the 26 head is not overrated, its just costs a little bit more than the el-cheapo 25head, which is "a dime a dozen" but yeah it is costing heaps :/ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

whoever thinks you can build a reliable, tough vl 26/30 for 20k, your pulling yourselves/ ive spent almost that already and it still needs bottom end, cams, head ported, paint, brakes and suspension... i have no doubt that i will end up spending 50-60k.. but thats because i want it done properly and everything to show standards. and i want something thats gunna make 500rwhp+ easily on the street and withstand a caining day in day out. its not a cheap game, and trust me i wish i didnt like cars cause i tell you what i'd have me a phat house.

there all sht motor the 26 would be 20 years old including the build/test time and look at her still killing it!!!! it seams most of the jap work shops (hks et) have finished with 1/4 for the mean while either that or they feel they have nothing to prove anymore hks 180sx 7.1 et fastest rb/rb26dett in the world

the japs are focusing on time attacks nowadays

yes u are correct tiger its got me fked why but as i said maybe they feel they have proven them selfs

rb24 is the best. i want one. Almost same displacement as 25, so decent torque, and most revs from shortest crank; revs x torque = hp

is that the rb20 with the 26 crank in it?

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah you can never budget with this becaue it will always blow out. 26/30 isnt a cheap thing but i think i speak for everyone when i say that we all know its the best nissan combo there is. the head isnt over-rated at all.

sorry 7four7 you are incorrect till it runs faster then 7.1 it is 3rd best the 2.7 or 2.8 stroked is the best rb but will cost plenty!!!

lol sorry mate. not talking about full drag setup. boostns 8.6 or whatever is good enough to keep me convinced that the 26/30 is the go Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

whats the advantage of an rb26 head over an rb25 head then? also not bringing into account of the manifolds, turbos etc

lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

solid top end, so if you want to rev it, you can...

haha I was all most going to write besides the sexy rocker covers

i want the last 5mins of my life back but on a more informative note anybody considering prices or drive in/out conversions might find this useful http://www.advancedjapautoimports.co...nversions.html (http://www.advancedjapautoimports.com.au/Engine_Conversions.html) RB26DETT Engine Conversion Into : RWD Configurations : VL Comodore , R31 Skyline , S13 Silvia , 180sx From $7500 Drive In Drive Out Inlcudes Engine , R33 Gearbox & Labour that looks extremely reasonable Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

all these cheap ebay motor and import yards that are giving stuff away is a sham! all these 35,000km engines that are out of the car on a crate ready to seal what a joke trust no one or nothing in the importing game unless you have the import paper work stating how many km she had once loaded onto the ship dont buy it simple!!! and if importing a car get a container that can only be opened by you has "tamper proof tags" that u open then the car goes to get cheeked best way to go but at the moment it is so cheep to by a car from japan just be very careful pm me if you are not sure about your import
