SCREW an RB26dett i want this in a 240sx

[Race_Breed_2.0]

I was looking around for an rb30 block and stumbeled across this. They build these motors and sell them, it is a rb30 hybrid. Rb30E block(austrailian) and the rb26 head. They say this motor is making over 720hp on pump gas and is expected to make 900+ on race fuel, and they are expecting 8sec quarter at 160+mph with no nitrous. The cost is about 20k$ wich isnt that bad.

Better plant your money tree. :P

[PhoenixNWH]

I couldn't spend that much on a 240....evar

[redtop240]

Its nothing new. I talked to a guy from aussie about 2 years ago that had one cranking out 600whp on his street commodore.

[PhoenixNWH]

That motor does look freakin sick though.

[slow40]

straight up drag motors. aussies have that shit on lock
there's 5 bare rb30 blocks that just got shipped stateside (north carolina i think)
pretty cheap too...def a 2jz killaaa!

20k on a motor for a nissan .... hmm, i think id rather use that as a down-payment for a Porsche

[Race_Breed_2.0]

I was thinking about putting somthing like this in a hammered ricey 240 just for the sleeper factor, and then RACE TEAM BU FOR TOP END BOOSTED DOMINANCE!!!!lol

[slow40]

camgears, turbos, dry sump cost more than my entire build... :x

you wouldn't have a high res image by chance?

[BigWill3855NWH]

Who would buy that?, even if i had money coming out my ass i still wouldnt buy it. Ripe off, 20k could get you so much more.

[slow40]

you're gonna spend that much on any motor to be that reliable at that hp

[Race_Breed_2.0]

RB30 FTMFW 1100+ hp slight build, Stock good for 800hp

If your looking for High HP and still be reliable you cant beet a V8, I dont care what you say nothing makes more power. Nelson Racing Engines even come with warranties.

[Race_Breed_2.0]

I probably wouldnt buy on but they also have 600hp daily driver motors avail, for like 12k$. I just would like to drive a 240 with one installed thats all

[Race_Breed_2.0]

I would like to Do a VH45de+tt swap if i went v8.

Luxury is for wussies... A 240 has just about anything you could want... AC, power steering, four wheels, gas tank ect... And who needs warranties? Really the only people that need warranties are people who don't know/don't car to work on their own cars. Yeah really...

Thats some serious machine work for an engine. And I only read the 1st page. lol. theres 25 pages after that. Buying a built motor and swapping out the internals if need be sounds better the more i think about it.

[Mitch Detailed]

Buying a built motor and swapping out the internals if need be sounds better the more i think about it.

i'll never buy a "built" motor. they're wayy too expensive and you dont know all the specs for sure. i'd rather build me a motor with my own two hands and take the credit for the whole job. :)

with the right research, you can find out a lot of things you can do to make power or improve efficiency and retain the "reliable" status.

[Race_Breed_2.0]

Lets see machine work........ HMMM Rb30 requires none, Research it, stock rb30e internals are good for 700 hp, rb26dett head fits right on no modification, rig up a harness out of the 240sx and rb26dett and rb30 block and go, you could build ur own for under what an rb26dett swap cost. Hell these motors cost so much because they are built for track and reliability, YES u can daily drive these cars. Hell the company that builds these motors are Fucking amazing. Hit up the site they are in New Z-land. www.ripsltd.com

well it also depends on where you get the motor. if its coming from a high performance shop already, then there shouldnt be a worry. if your buying it from a company that just pulls motors and sells them, then yeah, you might wanna know the condition of it.

but i also dont trust myself builing a high hp precision motor. i just dont have the time, nor the skill to do machine work like that and piece everything together.

but none the less, when it all comes down to it, piecing together an rb26 whereas buying a built rb26 is looking to be about the same price.

[Race_Breed_2.0]

I agree, i just saw these and figured id share the rb30's. Im gonna build my own motor and ppl think im crazy for it. Im going to build an RB20DET- RB24DET stroker, specs prove it will have 400hp just boring and stroking, then im gonna drop my trust T51r and bump it up to about 20psi. My rb20 will be beast.

i just dont have the patience to build a motor like alot of people do. i wish i did. i really do, but i dont. maybe one day i will change

and yeah, i have been tossing around the idea of doing the rb30 also.

right now my choices are
-straight 26 swap and building it
-stroking a 26
-swap a rb30

money is gonna get ridiculous, but its the passion that counts. and like i said above, i may spend ridiculous amounts of money on this car, and then it be wrecked the next day. thats the price we pay for this hobby.

i feel ya, i'm working ass backwards on my hatch atm. building a motor takes a lot of patience, but on the otherhand, i build my shortblock in 4 hours, and my head in 4 hours, that includes measuring the bearings with poor mans plastiguage and setting the lash on the head. i've got about another 4 more hours i'll have to measure to have it ready to rip, mainly v2p clearance and then start adding the boltons... :)

but then again, this is just a motor i threw together to get my car running for IA. nothing extravagant by any means...

yeah, and nothing against you or building a honda, but when i do my build, i want to do it ONCE. do it right the first time and have less down time. my goal is to be in the 600whp range. but if i go stroked or rb30, i could easily be looking waaaay past that.

JUST BUILD THE RB25....... Stroke it to a 2.7 L and up the boost and ull have 500+ hp. If you wanna sell the 25 i can get it sold fast to myself LOL. But the 25 has great potential, better than the 20, but Chris, 240ss his buddies gold s14 has an rb25 with 450+ hp and only has basic bolt ons and a tune.

the b2/z6 hybrid will be plenty reliable for a daily, a functional car is worth much more than a shell...

i'm all about that myself. do it right the first time, never worry about it again. theres an ls block and head sitting at my legs. i'm short on funds to meet my goals right now. 250 whp on a ls-vtec NA, tuned on e85, redlining at 8500, and not scared to run it a hundred thousand miles. some say i have bullshit goals, i say they are underestimating me. :)

[slow40]

honestly would just build the 25 like i said a while back..
but i knew you said something about the hks 2.8 kit which is alot more money than the rb30.

a built/bored over 25 to 26xx cc's is going to be plenty man..
you should easily see 500whp with the right supporting mods

well, my plans are to FIRST, finish the body. the decide on the motor plans and buy a rbXX block. build it on the side, that way i can keep driving the car. then when its built and ready, buy a 240 kouki, and then the built motor goes into skyline and rb25 goes into 240. and im out 100 grand. lol. well it will prolly seem like it anyways
