It's just a little turbo

[gtrjon]

damn that sucks! boost it, break it, build it stronger!

[leeaspin]

^^^ Yup!

Ok so i'm in a dilemma and really trying to decide on what I wana do. I would love to swap in a 2jz and build that still keeping the awd but could be very expensive...or do I keep my motor thats pooched and build the piss out of it? Will not be on the road this summer going to save all my pennies and go all out winter of 2013 ( if the world doesnt end ). Either setup I will be shooting for 800whp on 94+ meth......sooooooo help me decide which way to go. 2jz or rb26?

[DJ]

2JZ awd , good luck and its not worth it.It will be cheaper to sell your car ,buy a supra and build that.
Again you have to consider 800whp on 94 + meth is alot of power.You would need big money items to support that.Motor,tranny,brakes..etc. Basicly a whole new car

[gtrjon]

2jz awd realistically isnt going to happen. ive only seen one ever done. unless you have mad fab skills its just not going to happen. and once you start a build you will realize the jump from ~600awhp to ~800whp simply isnt worth it. number one set back find a tranny that can handle the power for under 5k. i said build the rb spend 20k and hope to get as close to 600awhp reliably as possible. still wont be able to do it with 20k most likely but you never know.

Yea man I would really love to see your car go big single/ meth forged. Build the 26, skylines deserve Nissan engines!

[GTRADDICT]

10k RPM Big twin scroll BG. Keep it Nissan. You bought a Nissan so deal with it lol

[DJ]

Buy Simons (greddytrustgtr) rb30 if he still has it.Definately the best deal you can get!

[leeaspin]

Hmm I don't think I'd ever buy an RB30 after reading a bunch of horror stories...should have a solid year of decision time lol. 10k would sound gnarly

[leeaspin]

Well seeing as how I moved and don't really have a place to keep my car as of the end of march I'm almost thinking of selling the car. Needs a rebuild, cylinder 4 is dead. I have no price tag on the car but if anybody is interested pm me with entertaining offers. If it doesnt go I'm sure I wont mind finding a place for her to stay for another while until next winter.

Ok so I started ordering a few parts for my car for the rebuild....The only thing I'm unsure of is the stock valves. Should I buy new ones or will they be fine with just springs and retainers. Alot of guys get all nice new fancy titanium valves but I've heard a few builders say its a huge waste of money unless your revving the bag out of your engine. Also told me its about the heat they can withstand also. So I'm kinda torn if I should waste the money on upgrading the valves or spend it on something else.

New turbo ordered so my t88 along with injectors and ecu will be up for sale again shortly.

I just spent $1500 on a full supertech valve train with ti retainers n double springs .... N I m happy with nice nice everything went together !

I was at this point in my build. It depends on a lot of factors. Depends on what kind of work you are going to have done to your head, ie port and polish, 5 angle valve grind, etc. I decided against them at that point in my build (valves and the intake manifold were the only stock components on my short block) since the oem valves are sodium filled and are very strong. I doubt you will see any gains with oversized valves its more do you want to spend $600 for piece of mind. I am now ordering a rips single tb intake mani and supertech black nitrated oversized valves tho lol

[leeaspin]

anything rips is just baller....so expensive lol

[gtrjon]

honestly they are really reasonable when it comes to intake manifolds compared to competitors on the market. nismo is 2k+ hypertune is 2500+ rips which is comparable in quality is 1600 to my door fully polished with the runners painted any color and with a 90mm billet tb. Also about above you will never see 10k safely nor will you find a tuner that will push it to 10k lol
