Raw Brokerage - Blue 700hp RB26 Build Thread

[Coolwhip]

Hey guys,

Figured I would make a thread to share some of our recent work we've done for a customer that had a 700hp RB26 requirement. He wanted a show ready motor that could take daily abuse. On with the pictures... :whip:

The wide body R33 GTR rolling on VS-XX's that we're building it for:

We started from an already mildly built long block we had shelved to begin tear down:

To start dolling up the motor we powder coated the valve covers to match the rest of the engine accents and keep the theme of the car...

[K_shan]

I'll be seeing the motor in person tomorrow when it Arrives at my home.

Btw I'm the one building the car for john. I chose RAW for the motor and parts supplier because they have a great reputation and even better products.

To achieve the power goals desired the route chosen was to ditch the twin turbo setup and go with a single turbo manifold...

Full Race ProStreet Twinscroll Top Mount Response Manifold - Raw Brokerage - Your #1 source for GTR and RB parts! (http://rawbrokerage.com/Full-Race-ProStreet-Twinscroll-Top-Mount-Response-Manifold-FullRace-RBManifold.htm)

I know you guys are going to ask, "why didn't we use our in-house manifold?" Well simply put we were in on a time crunch and the recent changes to our manifold design wasn't going to allow us to have it ready and tested for delivery. Since we had Full-Race manifolds in stock it was a no brainer :doh:

Well we sent the twin scroll manifold to our ceramic coater for some of his handy work... the ceramic coating is to keep the temps down in the engine bay, keep the exhaust heat inside the manifold for better performance, and for that oh so pretty finish :D

More fuel was required than the 440cc factory units so we turned to our injector of choice for these types of builds, the Injector Dynamics 2000cc injectors:

Injector Dynamics 2000cc Injectors - RB26DETT (http://rawbrokerage.com/Injector-Dynamics-2000cc-Injectors-RB26DETT-ID-2000-RB26.htm)

As well, to get the fuel through the new 11mm injectors a twin feed Tomei fuel rail was an instant match:

Tomei Top Feed Fuel Rail - RB26DETT (http://rawbrokerage.com/Tomei-Top-Feed-Fuel-Rail-RB26DETT-253002.htm)

With the machined hats and the precisely made rail....

and with those goodies installed to the motor...

Installed are also twin blue TiAl MV-S wastegates and we ceramic coated the twin scroll T4 turbine housing of the billet series Precision 6466 turbocharger to suite the build:
