Build of Australia's FASTEST PATROL ...Potentially, Using RB26DETT Goodness :)

[taslucas]

Hey matt, have a look at my members ride thread regarding waiting times.... It's a pain in the @rse. Mines been off the road for over 3 months in the last year, all looking for a an auto fault. Spent thousands, had months without it and it's all just to get it to normal not even to make it better! Aarrrgh! I feel your pain. Nothing happens quickly down here and theres not enough specialty workshops.

Tap, crackle, pop

Yeah Lucas, it's getting a bit silly now. The way I see it about the RB26DETT upgrade is the factory TB42c goes alright and can't be putting out any massive numbers, It seems to manage pulling the Patrol with what little power it has and the RB26 must put out better numbers from factory, so I can't see how it's going to be any worse than what's in it now.

here is a link to a video on youtube of what it should sound like. http://youtu.be/e3zK9Gvhmec

Okay, so here is the comparison of a TB42E and the RB26DETT. My motor is the TB42c which I couldn't find a power figure on, the TB42E would be making more power than my tired old Carbi clunker. When I get it back from getting the diffs built I will put it on a dyno and see just how little power it is making, I know that the heavy 35" tyres wont help the figures but it will be good to see just what I'm playing with.

TB42E and TB42S
In 1992 the TB42E emerged with electronic fuel injection and electronic ignition. At this time the TB42 was re-labeled as TB42S. OHV
175 PS (128.7 kW; 172.6 bhp) @ 4200 rpm
32.6 kg·m (320 N·m; 236 lb·ft) @ 3200 rpm

The first 2.6 L RB26DETT featured twin-turbochargers and produced around 280 hp (206 kW) @ 6800 rpm and 260 lb·ft (353 Nm) @ 4400 rpm. The last series of the RB26DETT produced 280 PS (206 kW) @ 6800 rpm and 289 lb·ft (392 Nm) @ 4400 rpm. } The reason for this discrepancy is a gentlemen's agreement between Japanese automakers to limit the advertised horsepower of any vehicle to 280 PS (276HP). It is widely known for its strength and extreme power potential. It is not uncommon for 600 hp to be achieved without modification of the engine internals. With regular maintenance, many of these engines have been driven well beyond the 100,000 mile mark with a few heading toward 200,000 miles. With extreme modification, the RB26 motor is capable of power in excess of 1 megawatt (or over 1,340 hp).

As you can see the TB42 makes (128.7 kW; 172.6 bhp) @ 4200 rpm, (320 N·m; 236 lb·ft) @ 3200 rpm and the RB26 makes 280 hp (206 kW) @ 6800 rpm and 260 lb·ft (353 Nm) @ 4400 rpm. I know the RB makes it's power at a higher RPM but I don't think it will be an issue considering the TB42 redlines at at 6000 rpm and I do spend a bit of time on the limiter .

Sounds to me like you need to learn how to change gears lol.
Why would you spend a lot of time on the rev limit when you can feel the power drop off way before the rev limiter ?
Or even better buy an auto.

Sorry, should have said in the mud i spend a bit of time on the limiter. not like i just drive down the road in second gear or anything.

Seems a lot of people keep saying that torque is better than power for 4wding but those figures show that the RD26DETT has more power AND torque (albeit at a higher rpm). So i say GO FOR IT man!! Cant wait to see the mudslvt out on the tracks

How many ks does the TB42 have on it?

[97_gq_lwb]

Yeah i reckon auto's are much better in the mud rb26 auto mud hack would be a bit of fun.
It is interesting though if you look at these huge horsepower monster trucks in the mud they are pretty useless all cammed up for high rpm power as soon as the power hits they bog down and sink in the mud.

[MudSlut]

yeah Lucas, loving the haters HAHAHA. The patrol has 250,xxx km's from memory, bit hard to remember seeing as I haven't sat in it for nearly 6 weeks. I'm keen to do it, I've never been much of a sheep and did what everyone else has done. you never know, it might just be a weapon! And in the end if it sucks i'll just pull it out and put it in a $3,000 silvia and sell it for $10,000 and put the 10 grand into something sheepish to power the patrol

Nothing but high rpm will get you through the mud. Remember, where Mudslut and i live lol, mud mud mud mud.........
