24TZ Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Very nice. Do you have a dyno graph that I can look at? Wouldn't mind seeing when the power is made? Is that 500kw on a engine dyno or chassis/rolling dyno? Quote
peter mc Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Thanks Charles It was a pleasure to build your rb26. Man it was a mess when it showed up. Lol never seen one so sad .but dam it turned out nice .from the color that paul Henshaw painted the covers to the hpc black parts it just turned out so nice ..i new when les Collins and i tuned it it was a monster pump fuel 610 hp . Specs .its a very simple build starting with a new head from nissan as the old one was in a bad state .i did a mild race port with 1mm up valves and had the seats cut to sute the ports .springs are supertec and cams are to my spec from clive cams 272 with 10.5 lift theres water mods and a few tricks with oil ways smothed out Block was taken to 87mm and the crank was worked over and fitted with a new coller i used spool rods with upgrade bolts and resized to get perfect clearance pistons are CP and comp is set at 8.5 as it was ment to be a 98 tune . Oil pump is a worked over N1 with external pick up to the sump . Its running a AtI 1000 hp balancer kit and a high octane ignition pickup kit . Coils are spitfire controlled by motec ecu .steven at lcr did the work on the wires .man he knows his stuff did a great job . All the inlet bits were striped down and hpc black and the tb were all striped and cleaned .the end result one beautiful 26 .well done on the car charles its one beautiful car man Edited April 13, 2016 by peter mc PeterAllen and gav240z 2 Quote

datoman Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 terrific build thread! Hats off for a very nice Zed. That thing is an animal!! I love it that i didnt get snippets reading this during the build from back in 2014. It was like watching a full series of GOT and not waiting for the next one to come out in a week with pain of waiting ... but yet you know there will could be more. Quote

jeff43 Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Very nice Charles, I can appreciate the time, effort and money that has gone into this car. Great video, now just enjoy the car, the rest of the world is enjoying watching it lay rubber that's for sure.. Careful with the right pedal as I expect things could get out of hand pretty quickly. Cheers Jeff Quote
