I have been a member for a while now and i own a 34 gtr. I also have a supra tt.
From what i understand the RB26 is not the most reliable engine out there.
Most threads i read are about rebuilds and failed RB26 engines.
My supra engine has been run hard for many years with minimum of 100bhp of nitrous shoved down its throat along with running Mines ecu, 1.5 bar of boost etc. The supra has never given me any trouble apart from valve stem seals failed a few months ago.
Now is it me or is the RB26 far from this reliable?
What is the main difference in design between the two engines? Can we not adapt what ever this difference is to a RB26?
What are your thoughts?
