Best place to buy an RB26?

Meulen

Sub'd,

I've been looking as well for my S30 project. There's a place here in Chicagoland that imports them I need to go check out. I'm still contemplating this though. Leaning more toward an RB25 honestly.

If I can't find an RB26, I'll probably settle for an LS3 or something ridiculous like that

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around doing an LS swap. My mechanic is actually trying to convince me to do a 2j swap. But I'd really just like to keep it in the Nissan family.

I'm doing the swap myself so not sure on $$$. I'm REALLY lucky, my neighbor owns a shop here in Chicagoland and him and I spend most weekends drinking beer and working on our own projects in the garage. Plus, I worked for my father years ago at his auto restoration shop so I have experience too. I don't think $4500 is bad for the RB26 motor though. I think I may shy away from the RB26 and go RB25. Can probably get similar results with a single turbo and less problems down the road

I'm a bit amped up today too! I just ordered an air compressor and picked up all the air tools I needed to start getting down to business on my S30 project!!

good info in this thread guys...thanks!!

If I can't find an RB26, I'm definitely going the RB25 route! I want a single turbo anyway (the bigger, the better!), so I don't think I'll actually even see a huge difference between the 25 and 26 anyway.

Good luck with your project, man!
