FD vs. RB26 240sx
 

So here in little ol' Iowa, there's not much for NICE cars. We still have the swapped hatches and crap but not much that sticks out like the FD. Well i talk to some FC guys that i see at the "races" a lot and one of them said that i should race his brother with the RB26 240 as soon as it's done. Well last nite, i go down and first thing that happens is a group of people surrounds me including the FC guys and they start asking if i wanted to race his brothers 240 now as he points to it. Well we finally find a race spot with no cops and line up.

Well i get a bad launch due to i wasn't expecting him to flag us that quick. So i wheel hop/spin them through first, shift to second and see a HUGE flame light up everything behind me, pull through 2nd, miss 3rd but still keep going after i find the gear and still beat him by 2 cars or so.

After we get back, he says all he did was spin a lot because he didn't have his LSD in yet and wants to do a quick 1st qear roll-in-go. So i say sure.

So we start way back and get into 1st at about 10mph. I was just going to honk 3 times but he thought we were going on the first honk so he jumped a bit but i recovered quick. I rap through the gears, this time hitting third and noticing he missed third but he kept going so i did too. I won again but when he did miss third there was about a half car between my back and his front bumper.

My mods in Sig.

His mods:
RB26
10 psi on single turbo(don't know how big)
Basic rich tune but not fully tuned yet
Full exhaust and i/c (only visual mods i could see)

sounds like a good match

go at it again. hopefully you guys can get a clean run in!

sounds fun...don't see to many rb swaps in 240's

it's becoming pretty common actually. most of the swaps i hear about on the forums are rb25 and rb26 swaps. mckinney made mounts for them which makes it alot easier.

Yes, both are teh superior engines along with the 2JZ. :celebrate

^ how about the ls1?

Most common swaps in teh 240 are the RB25 and the SR20Det... Rb26 is the common since the motor is ment for AWD so its alot of work, money, and time to do the swap...

If i remember right, he said he got one out of a RWD skyline...

R32 GTS-t = RB20DET (2.0L, Single turbo, RWD , 210hp )
R32 GTS-4 = RB20DET (2.0L, single turbo, 4WD , 210hp )
R32 GTR = RB26DETT ( 2.6L, TT, 4WD, 276hp, 5 speed )

R33 GTS-T = RB25DET (2.5L, single turbo, RWD, 250hp)
R33 GTR = RB26DETT (2.6L, TT, 4WD, 276hp, 5 speed)
R33 400R = RB-X (2.8L, TT, 4WD, 401hp, 5 speed) ---40 produced

R34 GT-Turbo = RB25DET (2.5L, single turbo, rwd,250hp)
R34 GTR = RB26DETT (2.6L, TT, 4WD, 280hp, 6 speed )
R34 GTR Z-Tune = RB28DETT (2.8L, TT, 4WD, 501hp, 6 speed) ---20 produced

my 240sx/rb25det was dynoed at 375rwhp at 16 psi, ( http://gotboost.monchar.com , its mainly my rx7 , but theres like 4-5 pics of the s13 )

and guy i know ( he help for my swap ) as a S14 with a rb26dett fitted on a rb25det tranny so it stays RWD ... hes pushing 650rwhp & 550 lbs-tq ( http://s14drift.monchar.com/ )

Cool run, not to mention cool cars.

When i get finished with my Top Secret tuned RB 240 ill head toward iowa....give me a year or two because money at 15 is hard to get....Pulling out the KA24 to sell for about $1000 Givin me about $5000 just enough for a RB26 with RB25 Tranny, Motor Mounts, And Downpipe...Might be able to get dad to buy me a Driveshaft for Christmas...and by 2007 i should have enough for a RB28 Stroker kit...880Hp Turbo Kit to come shortly after....if i can find a good payin just for $4000 or make my own at the local Vocational School

:Kill1:

Damn what HP numbers you have if any for the FD. A stock RB26DETT runs around 350HP depending on the model.

why is so good about a skyline if it only has 280 is it just overrated?

That hp number is way underratted because of the Jap Gentlemans agreement or whatever. It has a lot more than that in stock form.

Its 350HP or around there depending on year. Funny thing is though the NSX is the only car out of the bunch that accually kept it under the number but costs the most.

I have an estimated 275ish...I'll post my sig with my mods...

You guys need a clean run, and he needs an LSD lol. ANd get a vid.

Anyone wanna race a sick ass lexus??

yes a lexus, should be on the street today or tomorrow, 5 speed ls300 i dunno what all he did to it but his 2jz is in, and its sick, i just want to see it try and run a modded fd if anyone is close enuf.

I know a lot of friend that drive IS300 with supras engine in it. Is common for them to do that swap.

my bad, i was really tired its not an is 300 its an sc300 a rare car in manual in the u.s. at least

anyways, he used to have a 2jz in a 96 supra, so im sure hes doin it up right, probly upgraded everythin and a wet spray, anyways sorry to get so off topic, i dont even remmber how we got from an rb26 to a 2jz

even though that person swap his sc300 engine to 2jz engine. does not mean his car can outperform RX7 as you also need to consider the weight ratio. 500 HP RX7 can smoke a 800 HP supra because of this differences on the weight ratio of both cars.

i know, he might be running like 7 or 800 so itd bee cool to see the race, i wanted to see a rotary vs the 2jz

when is the next race going to be held?

i'm interested to see it too.

bandimir this weekend if youre anywhere near colorado, that and my buddies trans am shoud be puttin 800 down to the pavement, so itll be tight
