Yeah well in my own opinion a street legal 9 second car and a car that has registration and does 9s are two seperate things. But I'm not going to split hairs with you on this one.. a 9 second torana would be mad regardless.

[DUS12]

i think street DRIVEN 9 sec car would be more realistic

[cal-a-kid]

at least your dad had a decent car ... go the rana's!!!!

this conversion and engine build will never happen.

Hmmm yeah, I don't know many 17 year olds with money for a house deposit or RB26/30 powered S15s.. especially of the lancer driving variety.   But your right I don't know his finacial situation..  

And sure its a good topic to discuss.. But its a dead set waste of time to offer advice to people who have no intention or means of following through with the advice.

dude i brought my first unit wen i was 17, and i drove a sigma wagon at the time, and i just brought a house last month

[Robbo]

A bit off topic I spose, but mate I wish i was in your situation.. to be buying a house at age 20... thats rank.

But I'm sorry I have trouble believing you didn't have assistance of some description.. how would you earn the 10 or 20 grand to put down as a deposit? in an after school job? its not impossible just unlikely, and if you were good at saving, what financial institute would give a 17year old over $100,000? I'm not saying I don't beleive you.. I just wanna know how!!! haha Let me know!!

Seriously man, are you a fortune teller or something, I know it seems a little wild to be coming from a 17 year old but there is a first time for everything and maybe he will be the first person his age to succesfully complete this build.
You shouldn't be so hard on him for wanting to do something unique, because if he does actually end up completing the project how is that going to make you look?

Don't get me wrong though it doesn't seem realistic, but like gtp_vlbt1 said, unless you know his financials and who he knows dont judge the poor guy, everyones got the right to dream

[mr-squiggle]

Dean, dean, dean… what the hell is your problem? I come onto this forum to ask information and what is best for certain applications, just like most people do here. But anything I post you just have to come back with a smartass remark and harass me

Just because of my age you think I have no chance of building an rb26/30 conversion into an s15, if I was 28 and saying the same thing, would be posting the same shit you do now? I am not saying this project is going to be finished by the end of the year, I am still going to be driving the lancer until it is done, this project might be finished next year or the year after or the year after that.

Next thing, I don’t harass you about stuff that you post on this site so why do you have to do it to me? If you don’t believe that I am going to go through with this conversion, could you please waste you time else where and do something more constructive, rather than harass me and others on QSS.

So just stop you useless and time wasting assumptions and keep your opinions to yourself…

My problem is you and your crap threads! you have already got your heart set on this automatic, 26/30, s15 so why do you have to ask questions about it???

Here is how I would do it. Go to it!!!

Get the head(there is one at extreme, but it needs some work, hit them up for it, but don't f**k them around) it will have to be modified to suit, as stated before in this thread there is a adobe reader application for the mods you will need to do to the head. (bonds is where I would take it, behind key motors)

Buy some forgies to suit the application (heaps of brands out there)and some decent rods(heaps of brands again)

You've got the block (is it a series 2 block, check for oil and water lines so that you can run a turbo on it without having to drill your own holes which is a mission)

Deck the block to make sure it is true, and then get the block bored to suit the piston, make sure they match bore it. ie. piston 1, goes in cyclinder 1, just incase there are some slight differences in piston size, although there shouldn't be)

get a nissian headgasket for an rb30 (they are the best)

get ARP headstud kit, and rod bolts

get a full rebuilt kit for an rb30 including rings and bearings (these may come with the rods and pistons, not sure, you work it out)

Now screw the sucker together. f**k yeah, you've got a 26/30

Then Greddy plenum.

Suss out a manifold and turbo and water and oil lines, once this is done take it to HI-FLOW for an exhaust then front mount of course.

Some 600-800cc injectors should do the trick.

malpassi rising rate fuel reg.

surge tank.

2 decent fuel pumps 044's should do the trick (might need more if its hardcore)

ok that is engine, outlet (turbo), inlet (plenum) and Fuel (all stuff listed) done.

Now comes gearbox, you want an auto, I would reckon that you go to a 2 speed glide with a decent sized converter, however you would have to set it up to to suit the turbo and when it spools. Then you've got to make a custom automatic gearbox crossmember, and get a tailshaft made (hardy and spicer)

Hope that helps little fella, no more bitching I don't help you.

If you can't come to a forum and give your opinion than what is the point? Just because everyone isn't on your side, don't cry about it little fella, that is life, so get used to it. I really hope you prove me wrong, but until I see more than an over-priced ($1200, last time I checked) rb30e engine sitting at your house ready for you to actually start the conversion then you should forgive me for being alittle reluctant to believe you.

cheers

[mr-squiggle]

cheers for the info

[PH34R]

I enjoyed reading that dean, turn for the best possibly

lol

[fast_babe]

gee bit nasty there. yas should chill out n leave the young ones alone. i agree that opions are good to be heard but at the right times... not hiding behind a computer screen

[cal-a-kid]

bit hard to not hide behind a computer screen when this is an INTERNET forum

Dean

[Robbo]

haha Dean wasted time

[DUS12]

if your that serious on power and have the cash go to nizpro they can supply a 1200+ha xr6turbo motor easy as that

[cal-a-kid]

Yeah the xr6turbo engine lasts 10 runs down the strip before a rebuild, and they use an aftermarket steel girdle just like rb's come with standard. Makes you think these engine weren't designed with power in mind. Ford were probs just hoping they would make it out of warranty before anything started to go wrong.

At least you've got one thing going for you mr-squiggle, you want an RB

Dean

[mr-squiggle]

indeed

[cal-a-kid]

agreed on everything...

but I still wouldn't buy anything that made 1200hp as you want to build it yourself, cause your going to be re-building it alot.

Dean

[DUS12]

that motor did 88 hours on the dyno got pulled down and put back together with the same bearings they were that good and it still going now but we have had the xr6 vs rb fight before ha ha so it all good

[cal-a-kid]

how is the progess going mr squiggle? Got that head yet?
