hi all

Is it yours or somebody elses?

 

are you sure that is an RB, its hard to tell but it could be an sr20. I know they use sr20's to drift because they are lighter.

 

Thats definatly an RB motor. You can tell by the size of the valve cover and the fact that its tilted. The SR is smaller, smoother, and sits evenly. I have actually seen both swaps in person. I think the SR is too small for the Z, but the RB is perfect.

 

There's a company i've been in contact with that do RB26DETT swaps into 350s. Cost is about 20,000 for everything to get you to about 600 rwhp.

 

That would be sick. Still, I would much rather have a Skyline to go with the RB.

 

honestly, I like the looks of the 350 more, so this option is burning in my head hehe

 

batlground engineering in atlanta did a RB swap i think, it was posted back early last year.

 

$20,000 could net you a VQ43

 

it is cool and different but for 20gs? ehh i duno...if u wanna go fast for alot less than 20gs just do a tt setup on the z...

 

gotta remember reliability also

 

have the site for the company?

its been done a few times....ZELE in Japan even did the FULL drivetrain (ETTESA AWD and all)!

 

I wonder how that monster performed with AWD? AWD is heavy right? I'm sure it had enough hp to compensate though.

 

i think it was super street (mabey import tuner???) this month i saw a rb26 in a Z! full drag car!!! someone with a scanner should post that pic in here! hint, hint,

 

Is this the Z with RB26DETT you are referring to?



This is the Xtreme Motorwerk Z. http:www.xtrememotorwerks.com

THATS THE ONE!!!!!!!!!
