OzzYNMotioN · 03-21-2012, 08:57 PM

good looking build homie! subscribed for the end result!

Marzo · 03-21-2012, 09:14 PM

dang man, looks like you're gonna have a twin! I'm building a blue type-x with a rb26 as well. I'm running 2860r's instead of a single, how much power are you looking to make? looks like you're gonna finish before me though.

car will eventually get painted as im looking to drive it before i deploy. It should end up making around 700 or so, but i guess we will see come dyno day.

How?

Stoked about this build. Always liked your taste in mods...deff one of the nicest simple S15's stateside.

VAs13 · 11-08-2012, 08:48 AM

BC is doing work.

Sil-Eighty SE-K · 03-21-2012, 09:22 PM

o man that s15 was yours?! ive seen pics of that thing is freaking famous..... downright the sickest s15 ive ever seen.

welcome to the RB26 club.......

Pinggg · 03-21-2012, 09:24 PM

Yes, something actually worth reading. Can't wait to see it done! GL sir.

Sil-Eighty SE-K · 03-21-2012, 09:25 PM

ps.... you might wanna consider a different pump.... the n1 pumps are notorious for issues (as are the stock pumps) I would recommend a Tomei pump. they are by far the best pump out there. If you are dead set of the N1 pump at least get the reimax gear set for it. pretty solid from what ive heard/read.

is this an r32 engine? are you getting a JUN collar fitted? or running r33 crank?

Stock pump works fine. Don't buy into forum gibber gabber. I'm sure this car isn't gonna be a 750hp racecar for a million dollar team. My 26 has tomei cams, hks gt-ss turbos, metal headgasket, arp headstuds, greddy timing belt, and forged pistons(only because the stock ones were moving around to much). 440whp. I track it all summer. If a 26 just came over from Japan with low miles all it needs is decent turbos, injectors, and good software for tuning. The engine will outlast the chassis. Promise. No reason to waste money on "FULLY BUILT YO!".

You haven't had any issue because you're under 500hp. He wants 700 if you read his posts. Therefore the stock pump does not work just fine. Put the collar on and upgrade the pump. You're in there why be a cheapass? It's just going to come back and bite you in the ass.

I'm not buying into forum gibber jabber
I have Been working on rb26s for the past 4 years and have a very intimate relationship with them
I have personally seen stock pump failures, n1 failures, and even a jun pump with a cracked outer gear
Don't try to school me on something I know this well.
He said in his own post he's shooting for 700hp do what difference does it make if it's a "race car for a million dollar team"
If that's the case he'd have a dry sumP

Look at his mod list he's spending alot of coin on forged internals and machine work. Why risk all the money over some silly like an oil pump?
$1500 on a tomei pump is well spent, you can sleep well at night and rev to 10k (balancing and valve train dependent)

What do you rev Ur rb to?
I goto 9k on my RB28 without even thinking twice

proj240sx · 03-22-2012, 01:35 PM

Pretty awesome build outline so far! Looking forward to seeing the coming updates

"How much money you spent bro.. ohh pssh I spent way more then you.."

Yes I see you didn't think twice cause you wasted a lot of money..

tricky_ab · 03-21-2012, 10:12 PM

^^ Agreed. That or a JUN oil pump if you can swing it. Both are recommended. A lot of my GTR friends have used Tomei or JUN models. I personally have never seen a N1 fail but the ones that I have heard about people using have been modified.

Another note:

The rumors that you heard about the few issues the rb26 had are true, but it took full race 700-800 hp skylines in Japans doing race after race to figure out the weaknesses. Weaknesses you will never see because your not even gonna come close to testing the limits by doing pulls around town.

S141S · 08-30-2012, 10:19 AM

is that...

stilmissmysti · 03-22-2012, 12:04 AM

You sir are doing it right

Imarvin240 · 03-22-2012, 12:47 AM

well this looks like its going down the right path! keep it up!

BrownDogg · 03-22-2012, 01:41 AM

Nice build! Looks like you are building this the right way! What Precision turbo is that?

I have the PT6262 on my RB26.

Would you like to buy a D Jetro Power FC for a RB26 by chance!? lol
