I would like to ask if anyone knows any good engine builders of Rb26 in Malaysia? Does GT-Auto or Linkpower actually build the engines?
Last time, my GTR was actually built in Thailand by Mr. Toon (through SpeedD/Tony Lim).

I would love to have a highpower, highrevving engine yet fairly reliable (perhaps something similar to that 8500rpm 800+ps Top Secret Rb28 that I posted earlier :heart:).

Saving up for a R32 project now, since my dream to bring back from UK a Lotus Elise with Audi Turbo engine is looking more and more unfeasable :cry_smile: .

Local RB26DETT engine builder ?
Why waste the time to build while you can afford BUY ?
Cannot afford to buy laaa. :cry_smile: Top Secret Rb28 cost starts at USD42000. Tomei complete engine starts at RM60,000. All not incl. installation plus ancillaries.
Got one NZ builder, RIPS ltd, selling complete Rb30 4wd 500-900ps also starting at NZD20,000.

Plus, Msian builder, at least got fallback if engine rosak. Overseas, if rosak, have to ship overseas summore :cry_smile:

CMNG...I heard tht those complete engine from TOMEI, NISMO and JUN is nt really mean we buy the whole things. Means we have to send existing engine to them n rebuild back only.Otherwise means so costly too for oversea customer.

Tomei makes many different types of complete engines but the more common ones are the RB28 "Genesis" and "Derive" models although they also make to order RB30's which are apparently crazy.

AutoSelect also makes a RB27 which is quite good.

Links Power also rebuilds engines with Trust Pistons, HKS rods etc..

My car, when it was in its previous owners hands, and dynoed at 735hp, was built by Links Power. Pistons, rods etc all done at Links Power.

Now no more lar of course, those mods are in another car now. :D

If budget permits, definitely go a complete engine.

If budget doesnt permit, no harm getting it built by a reputable and experienced local tuner like Aerotech.

If parts are off the shelf such as Trust/Grex pistons and hks rods are used in both instances, i cant see why an experienced local dude cant deliver an equally good engine.

My 2 cents.. :)
