Chris Wilson Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Having acquired a goodly stock of Skyline engine bits over the years I suddenly realised that I wouldn't need much more stuff to build a spare engine for my R33 GTS-t. I bought some forged pistons and forged Tomei rods, some new valve springs and I already had some Apexi cams. I also had a suitable Garrett ball bearing turbo and a new HKS cast manifold. I did a basic head refresh with freshly cut seats, 4 new guides and a valve lap. I made a wastegate adaptor for a Tial wastegate I had. Not an exotic build, just a quick nailing together of parts to build a spare motor, but thought some of you might want to see it. Should make about 450 BHP with good torque. Put it together with a spare loom on it, a spare PAS pump and it will have a spare alternator and fan on it, so I can swap it over quickly. http://www.chriswilson.tv/RB25_build/RB25_build.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 I have two brand new HKS cast manifolds for the RB26 for sale. One cerrachrome ceramic coated, one done in black ceramic coating. One has a new HKS race gate on it, the other just has the HKS adaptor for a currently available HKS gate.
