Quick update, started the engine today and man did these cams sound good! Recorded a video but the phone mic wouldn't pick up the deepness and lumpy tone. Engine did sound very smooth! Will let it idle for sometime tomorrow before we start breaking her in. Custom surge tank build and external pumps start tomorrow!

 

Great to hear you're "winning" again Sam, damn that must be a beast, look forward to more updates

 

Just a quick video to remind you of what an RB26 is capable of Sam....

Just for reference, the red car in the other lane is a stock Holden Commodore SS which runs a 6.2lt V8 with about 400+hp. Same engine that you guys now run in the new Camaro so its no slouch.

 

I never doubted the RB Power, the engine is bullet proof with endless capabilities. Just need the right support mods.

And speaking of supporting mods:

 

Sam_ this is my favorite engine related build on the forum. The time, effort and dedication you put into this. Keep up the amazing work man. Btw, jelly of those cams

 

Thanks man Wait till you hear them!

 

Is this going to be a catch can ?

if so, word of advice...get -10an fittings on the valve cover (2) and 1 -12an on the intake pipe. Also put the 2 fittings coming from the valve cover going to the catch can on the sides and the -12 going to the intake on the top above them. you should also have the can baffled.

 

It's not a catch can

 

wth is that then lol


disregard...surge tank :\

PLUS i just realized its in the back by the diff...i feel stupid now lol

 

Haha yeah I was thinking to myself: why is he talking valve covers and intake pipes?! lol

 

Surge Tank's coming along nicely:

 

If you guys don't mind me asking, what's the purpose of a surge tank?

Glad to see the build gathering momentum, can't wait for some videos/times.

 

The factory fuel mount assembly only accommodates one pump and so far, there are no aftermarket solution to mount two pumps. CJM has one for the 370Z's but I don't think it will fit our tanks.

Another problem is on tight right handers, all the fuel jumps to one side of the tank leaving your fuel pumps starving. A surge tank prevents that since it is always full.

 

Ok, so it is an alternative to having two fuel pumps in order to prevent fuel starvation. Thanks for the informative reply!

 

You can have two pumps in tanks, the GTR has them OEM. It's just not an option for us yet.

Here's what my fuel system looks like to give you an idea:
