It's just a little turbo

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

[DJ]

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

[GTRADDICT]

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

[Supraclean]

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

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.

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

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?

[leeaspin]

^^^ Yup!

[gtrjon]

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

[leeaspin]

Went to lordco today and then hopped back into the car and started it and a huge cloud of blue smoke came out. Came home and did another compression test and cylinders 1,2,3,5,6 all had 145 and cylinder 4 was 85 piece of garbage rings! Looks like im gunna do a little rebuild

[leeaspin]

Should I just try to go big with the motor as is and get some bigger injectors and rail, fpr, pump and standalone? See when it pops? haha it could be a test to see how much hp this motors good for with low compression

[gtrjon]

the aem v2 is nice. i was thinking about it but the tuners that are somewhat local perfer the pfc. if i was going to go aem the only place i would take it would be psi in portland. also im with dj my original plan for the car was going big single on the stock interals and boost it til it breaks. but i did a compression test before i started and had 60psi in two cylinders. with your compression test consistent accross the board i would just boost it til it breaks then go with your build from there!

[leeaspin]

If I were you, I wouldnt get into all that right now.Enjoy the car as it is .As long as the motor is healty you should use it the way it is.You can modify lil things at a time but I wouldnt suggest going out and dumping 15g's+ into your car.Thats what I should have done in the first place.

Compression test isnt really the results I wanted...each cylinder is 130-135psi so i'm going to do a rebuild. This way I can say I built the motor aswell (more bragging rights :P)

thanks ^ took me about 11 months but its finally coming to a end! im stoked to see another big single build i forgot to add a ecu! i went pfc djetro. its older technology without some features like launch control, boost by gear, altitude adjustment but its cheaper and tunable!

Probly get an aem v2...they seem hella legit. Looks like you have quite the build man! cant wait to see dyno sheets/ video of it! The build probly wont start till closer to the end of winter. Still have a couple debts I need to pay off first . Car may not be done for next year so maybe the following year. Right now just need to find a garage for it so I can start pulling the motor and start doing insane wire tuck. Want my bay to be as clean as DJ's was. Alot of work but worth it in the end!

May this money pit get started!

Anybody else have input on the engine build?
