Enjoy!

Why would you think this is overkill? These engines aren't that powerful (they have reasonable hp and not alot of torque) although the power to weight ratio would be good with one of these in a Z.

I would love to have a skyline motor in my Z:love:. Only thing is I bet the engine swap would be a b*tch.:sick:

I have this engine 1/2 in my 240

not a lot of HP? 250hp 298NM running off 7psi

[That Ozzy Guy]

Ivan, I worded it carefully (reasonable hp) so that no one bites my head off. I know what these engines are capable of as I've seen it first hand. All I wanted to get accross was that this engine is certainly 'no overkill' and that it is a reasonable swap. As for torque, they lack a certain punch in that department. It isn't an 8 after all and you just don't expect that much brute force from them.

[Ivan]

sorry

[That Ozzy Guy]

Hey man, no need to be sorry. It's all good.:classic:

So when does the second half of your engine go in?

[Ivan]

panel + paint then new break / clutch / fuel lines then it's engine time

Hey gang, so what is tis engne? An inline 2.5 litre six wth turbo? that sounds like great fun, esecially in a Z...more power!

Cheers,

Dave

[That Ozzy Guy]

Yeah you got it spot on there... 2.5L straight 6 with a turbo

[Ivan]

yep, the only other thing to add to that is DOHC. mainly used in Skylines

There are a few in this family, RB20 (T or N/A), RB25 (T or N/A), RB26 twin T and RB30 (T or N/A)

These engines are capable (if you have the $ and the insanity) of high hp, I have seen many RB26DETT (out of the Skyline GTR) produce 1000+hp the best I have seen was 1350hp

[N5572B]

Thanks. DOHC means CROSSFLOW HEAD!!! And turbo...how hard to adapt a 5 speed in place of the auto in the ad? Nt that I have $1500 for an engne...that is more than my entire budget a the moment but...(drooling on the keyboard) turbocharged, DOHC, crossflow head...definately MORE Power. Definately sunds like a great transplant in a Z.

Cheers,

Dave
