sweet. how much did that fucker run you?
probably way more than its worth. :1
also, what class in SCCA are you running that with? im gonna laugh when the guy with half the power passes you cause he spent his money where it counts.

i have an old Z also but im using the rb20det...all rb26 internals fit int the rb 20 which is like buying forged internals almost...and also you dont have to buy a single turbo conversion..you already have it...better yet you can buy 4 rb20's for the price of 1 rb26 :y....it works out better that way 1200 for the engine and the other couple g's go into it...check out hybridz.org they'd love you their

here my next project after my civic is done...i have headers bigger MAF coil and a front air dm waiiting to be installed..its a 75 O0

i agree i worked at nelson ledges road course during a scca event and i saw an 800hp gto and a few lingenfelters with nitrouse going at it....you better buy some crazy ass suspension to keep up with them guys...better yet toss in the gtr 4wd system then its a fair game :6 :6

Re: RB26DETT INTO MY Z
 
im already in a shitty class (ITE) with a bunch of vetts and 911's

The car already has a bunch of crazy suspention mods with Wolwoods all the arround.

So i got the suspention and the breaks I just needed the Engine.

I m running a Rb25 trans witch should hold up to the power and there a dime a dozen so if ti blows up I dont care il just buy antother one.

Im running twin hks gt2530's so lag wont be an issue.

the 2530s are insane on the rb26. a buddy of mine sent his to JUN to have reworked, the car is insane. dont push it over about 450hp or the tranny will go kapooh.

i would have put the money into a driving school.

Who the ---- are you :l
It's not about who can afford what on here .. it's how you build a turbo kit using either home made or cheap parts.If you don't know that by now , you have severe problems

not exactly what they can afford. RIght now, I could easily afford some top notch ----. full race, SMP, etc etc...I choose to still run used parts and ------ rigged ---- I pull out of junkyards.

on the other hand, good luck with the build. Seems like you have a pretty set goal. The 26 is abotu the only skyline motor worth a ----. I would highly recommend thinking about or building a tranny. -also a OS clutch is a prime choice. if you need any parts, LMK.

i think his clutch will hold enough power. its an hks twin disk.
