Here you go:





That's an HKS T04R (basically a T4 T67, good for 700+rwhp), unfortunately on a HKS cast manifold. That turbo kit is going to be sold, I'm building the motor, and I might be switching to an HKS T51r (basically a Garrett Gt42r). I just can't decide if I should swap this into a 240sx or if I should buy some beater 944 to swap it into. It's simple with the 240sx, though I like the 944 so much more.

Word of advice about the RB series, the 26 is friggin expensive! I screwed up and bought 2 cheap motors, and they are both in poor condition. I could have spent that towards one good motor and been safe to ~600rwhp on stock internals with just a headgasket. Between those 2 motors, many of the rebuild parts (reusing stock pistons/rods at the time, not anymore), tranny necessary for a 240 swap, turbo setup, etc I was out ~$13k and that's just for parts! It still would cost me another few grand for all of the machine work on the head and block plus pistons, rods, management, etc.
