Check this out......ever seen one of these...

[e30_Turbo]

Now I thought Alex was greedy with his TWO turbo's, but this is insane!!

[dazleeds]

WOW will it fi in an e30??

[koos]

thats an engine from a skyline, watched a dvd where they got 1050hp from one of those puppies!!!!!

[Sjoerd320i]

omfg!!!!!!!!

that's fukkin wicked

wouldn't mind having those two turbo's nice size

[jmc330i]

You sure its a Skyline motor?
Its probably the photo but it doesnt look big enough, looks like a 4pot. Could be the size of turbos making the 6pot look small i guess

And is that a Supercharger straped to the side of it as well??

[E30BeemerLad]

looks like a 4 pot to me too, doesn't look long enough to be a 6'pot. Yeah, that certainly looks like a supercharger too! but I can't see where the thing is linked to the induction system, I can see where it takes air from the intercooler but where is it feeding it into the engine, unless you just can't see the inlet manifold?

[jmc330i]

I would of said the opposite. The charger is feeding into the cooler along with the turbos. Its the chargers intake I cant see.

But youre right, it definitely doesnt look long enough for a 6pot.

Yeah the charger is feeding into the intercooler with the turbos, there must be 3 air filters on that, or some complicated way of getting 1 air filter to filtrate for the 2 turbos and one supercharger! Awesome, and thats without mentioning the size of that intercooler!

[Semaj]

It's definetly an RB26 6cyl

[rosscoe]

Yup,
defininetly the RB26 motor.

compound charged as well

just like the lancia delta s4 group B rally car

[BitchenE30]

wrong, its a toyota 3sgte out of a turbo mr2

[schmick325]

wrong, its a toyota 3sgte out of a turbo mr2

U reckon? ? ? Why would it have a front mount intercooler

[gareth]

looks definately like a 4 pot to me. maybe it's for use in a corolla AE86 drift wagon? there's also a lot of MK1/2 escorts running toyota lumps in oz.

[GarethK]

It's DEFINTELY an RB26 6 pot 2.6 - i have one in my car!! (Minus the Supercharger and with smaller turbos unfortunately!!)

The 3S-GTE is much smaller and has a flatter cam cover and no 'vanos' unit on the exhaust cam!!

If you look really closely it says 'GTR' on the top too!!!

[BitchenE30]

still wrong, the front mount intercooler is because they are a very popular mill to swap into the corollas, by the way, its not vanos, its vvti

[GarethK]

Is this a wind up??

This is an RB26:



this is a 3S-GTE:


As you can see they look very different..... And the compound charged engine above looks like one, and not the other.

I know it's not VANOS - thats what the BMW version of the same thing is called so i thought since i'm on a BMW forum....

Also, since it's NOT a 3S-GTE, it's NOT VVTi either!!

It's funny being told you're wrong when you own BOTH!!!!

I'll go outside and take a pic of an RB26 right now if for some reason you can't see from these pics what it is!!

[Ant]

Agreed its an Rb26 engine

theres no room on the 4 cyl mill to fit 2 turbos let alone an SC too

[BitchenE30]

i guess its just better to keep your mouth shut and let people think your stupid than to open your mouth and let them know your stupid

[Russ]

Its def not a 3S-GTE.

[bmv]

rb26dett

[Simon13]

Are u guys sure it's not an M40 1.8 8 valve?
