So this weekend we were supposed to tear down the engine to provide you all with some sexy rb26 internal pics, but we didn't get as much work done as planned. However some progress was made

Everything on the exhaust side has been taken off the block and the oil was drained

More updates to come; stay tuned!

Here are the pics I promised everyone. Not too much going on but Mitch removed the old manifold and turbos off of the RB on the weekend. So here are the pics to hold you over until the new goodies start coming in!

Sorry about the failed pictures everyone. I had originally posted them from Mitch’s personal album, but since photobucket deleted them due to too many views, I uploaded them onto the server here at work. So everything should be good now :)

Thanks,

So this weekend was the engine disassembly. Everything went smoothly and now all the parts are off to TK Race Heads here in Montreal for some cleaning and machining.

Here are the pics!

Thanks,

Here are a couple more quick pictures of the cars in the shop. We had some spare time the other day so Mitch went and put some new shift knobs in the cars.

Here is my Turbo civic with the hugely popular TWM Performance Piston Shift knob (excuse the ecu and wiring everywhere...I'm in the middle of doing some wiring fixes lol):

And here is Mitch's Skyline with the TWM Performance Classic light weight aluminum shift knob!

Hope you all enjoy the pics!

More parts!!!

Today Mitch went to the machinist with parts today. Everything looks good. We decided to go with a Nismo Oil Pump instead of the N1 Oil Pump because of all the bad gossip going around about the N1 oil pump failures. Mitch also took the flywheel today to get surfaced, looks pretty nice, we took off about .015". Here's some photo's:

Enjoy!

NEW UPDATE!

So the short block is done. The block was acid dipped, magnflux, honed, bored, and line honed. The pistons/rods/crank were balanced, then the machinist bolted on the flywheel and it was balanced also. I don't have a clutch yet so that wasn't balanced(can't decide on what to get, probably an OS Giken Twin Plate or ATS Carbonetics since a few people have ruined the Nismo Twin while racing, clutch is being ordered tomorrow!). The rods/pistons/crank are theoretically balanced for 11000rpm which this motor will never ever see EVER! The drain back at the back of the motor was ported hardcore, which is why I think the external drainback is useless (that is if you have another crankcase vent). The drain at the back is easily equal to 4 dash-10AN Lines in terms of cross-sectional area.

Anyways the block is looking nice and the head is going to be ported/flowbenched starting hopefully monday.

Here's some pictures of how everything looks as of now...Enjoy!

UPDATE!!!

***February 24th 2010***

So last night we got some work done on the build. LOTS of parts came in, Mitch got the head back from the machinist and now it's all coming together. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

This is what the valve covers, timing belt cover, and intake manifold are going to be painted with. Its a black wrinkle paint :)

Picture of the new/forged rotating assembly

Installing the ARP head studs

Head is on :) Here you also see the awesome Tomei cams

Nice porting job on the exhaust side which will allow for some great flow on the top end

Intake side
