While your at it, just go buy an SRT4 welfare rocket, cheaper and faster if you compare costs. Or you can do like the rest of us and make the RB better for the love of the Skylines!!
    I highly doubt you can pickup a 750 HP motor for 8900 bucks SHIPPED. Just adding up the cost of parts to get there, the core of the motor itself, then forged pistons, forged rods, a stroker crankshaft (They are 2.0L stock), ported head, cams, etc, etc. The only 750 HP cobalt I know of is one that's been converted to RWD and had about 30 grand sunk into the motor. If you could buy a 750HP crate 2.2L motor, there wouldn't be ANYONE buying 540's or 572's because you could make the same or more power for basically 1/4 the price.

    That's almost 1L more than an RB26. I'd like to see something like that.

    the deck height of the rb26 is around 7.4 and the rb30 from the r31 skyline is around 9.075 so 3.6 is realistic from an RB30 based stroker

    ive read it on another gtr forum
