 As many people know, the RB26 engine is notorious for various problems. I just wanted to eliminate all of those basic issues with it while rebuilding it from scratch. Balancing the parts was the trickiest part of all, since getting the hands on with the RB26 was fairly new to me and 11K, and we needed some help with Mr. Lee. Like A LOT.  Tomei Forged Pistons and Rods, HKS Exhaust & Intake Camshafts, Metal Gaskets, 2x TD05H Turbo Kit, Manifold Headers, GReddy Intake Plenums and etc... Countless parts were ordered and replaced with Mr. Lee's hands, and it costed about V$ 6500 for rebuilding it. And it isn't done yet. The intercooler pipings also should be done and as well as the cylinder head cover needs some work. The transmission clutch, flywheel and most fluids were also replaced. Also, I had to sell the RB25 Engine and Transmission Assembly for V$ 4500 and the single turbo kit preinstalled on the RB26 for V$ 1500 which compensated all of my spendings on upgrading the RB26.  Well, the interior trim and the wirings are mostly done and it needs some final tweaking overall. No plastic parts were harmed during the reassembly. The rotted out rubber bushings were replaced with better poly bushings and the 180Km/h OEM clusters were replaced with Nismo ones for V$ 500. Jesus, that's a lot of money I paid for one single build. And yet many more to come.  |
