Yeah, a VQ would also be a great choice. I've seen a few VQs lately with crazy amounts of power.

Ls Swapped 240's and other crap are funny. Yap yap yap about torque blah blah and still get beat by my lil ol 1.3L small street port 13b. stock turbo boosting 12. Sigh Ls Is crap! That would be the worst engine to put In a GTR. Obviously the Sr and Ka-t suggestion were jokes.

You want a badd ass swap thats gonna take some deeeeeeeep pockets. Drop a 26b In the bitch 4-ROTOR Powa! Awd 4-ROTOR. hmmmmmmmm

Chrischeezer · 02-04-2010, 02:37 AM

Man so retarded.... ergh you know that you cannot compare rotary litre size to piston litre size. In a true comparison of chamber size and combustion throughput, 1.3 litre rotary is equivalent to a 2.6 litre piston engine... Just so you know..... That is only in terms of a 2 rotor 1.3 litre.... You are obviously sizing up much more when you go 20b or a 26b.....

Fucking stupid ass consumers play with shit and then expect it to be covered. Lame ass owner in my opinion.

Oh and any crying about the cost of that engine? Its a fucking hand built engine to extreme specs. Oh and dipshit was crying about the fact that he leaned the shit out of it and it went boom. LOL of course it can handle high horsepower if you don't lean the daylights out of it with the wrong fuel curves. LOL

Agreed, he modded the car so he should have known what he was getting himself into if something were to go wrong!

And the price of the engine that he was going on about is justified if you've seen the work that goes into it...What a bloody tosser this guy is...

Yes I do know that. 3 combustion per rotor = 6 just like a 6 cylinder. I was mainly talking about the torque figures. my 13b has lack of torque and ls engines have alot of torque but still get shitted on. I don't like ls engines. That's the new ultimate fan boy swap.

*slider2828* · 02-04-2010, 11:39 PM

^^ For realz? How much torque and HP... I would love to see dyno graphs of your 13b.... Just remember new LS engines would last probably a lot longer than your 13b that overheats, eat oil, emit crap in the air and eventually blow an apex seal.... what is the typical rebuild of a modifie 13b? 30k miles?

I know a guy that just had his blown Supercharged SRT-8 Jeep motor covered...under insurance. Dealer said F-U but he told the insurnce company he hit a puddle, it took in water and blew a hole in the block.

Anyway...RB FTMFW - V6s are for Camrys and Hyundais

Seriously. These idiots spend $100k plus on shit they have no idea about just to shave .0001 seconds off lap times and they probably can't even drive worth shit.

The cost of entry is the only discount for the GT-R. Maintenance costs are similar to owning a lambo porsche or ferrari.

I thought this was interesting. The GT-R engine costs $55k and the tranny costs $20k. The car lists for $85k. So would the car without a tranny and motor be only worth $10k? haha

if the owner was a cool guy, he would have worried about fitment and left his engine alone.
also roof rack.

nismo_nate · 02-06-2010, 08:55 PM

Nobody here gives a fuck if you have a rb26, with your analogy that you have used it would seem you have the mindset of a 12 year old, grow the fuck up they obviously moved to a v series for a reason. Having a shitload of weight forward of the front axles isn't exactly ideal for handling and i would guess that the vr38 would still walk your rb easily

Chain rattled? I was joking around in agreement with mbers who tossed out the RB swap comments. I would be insane an I'm sure I'll see it at TAS one year.

Considering I have all kinds of seat time in the R35 it isn't walking me any time soon. So seriously don't act like you know... LOL not that I care or even will respond

VNG704 · 02-07-2010, 09:32 AM

LOL, if only dealerships paid when we break things, they wouldn't be nicknamed stealership. Why are people saying the engine cost $55k?

in all honesty, 55k for a new engine is ridiculous. search for a totaled gtr and you take the engine out, it will be less costly. or you can be bad ass and put an rb26det for a lot cheaper than 55k and still have the same power or more if you wish to do so.

My 13b has never overheated.eats very small amounts of oil. I got a front clip from japan with 78k miles on the 13b turbo. S5 and that motor lasted a good 3 years. I had basic. Safc,fuel cut defense,3 inch dp to 3 inch straight pipe.stock turbo on 14 psi. It was street tuned. I don't know the dyno numbers. but hey neck to neck with a c5 z06 shouldn't be slow now should
It. Motor Is still running btw. It's sold and the guy Is running a gt35r On the same motor now. Ls swapped cars are not that fast Unless they are modded. and have the right gearing

You see just a lil old rx7 with exhaust. and big tires In the back to keep from spinning too much No ports Or anything

Same power? The only way you're gonna get the same power is from a Ztune rb26 or spend some serious cash on tuning.

Z32TT-R · 02-16-2010, 08:05 PM

yea basicly theirs really no point to modify those cars if anything just fix up the exterior alil and thats it

mike mutha fucken essa....that's all I have to say.

LS bandwagon...more like smartwagon. Who wants to rebuild a track car every couple events....

I love everything about mazda's except their reliability and their steering angle....

O/T RB30 block, 26 head, big f**k-off turbo, forged internals and a decent professional map = big bag of win and anything from 600bhp up.

Home mapping when you know what you're doing (Nistune, megasquirt etc) = win. Home tuning and guessing settings/tolerances = big fail.

A mate has almost finished his one. At 0.8 bar, base map and stock internals it was 451bhp. The bottom end wasn't set up properly afaik and its mullered. Hence the forged rebuild. Hopefully will be looking at the thick end of 700 elephant power as the daily map with an option of higher boost for track work. Went out for a ride on the base map and it was savage!
