I'm sorry, what is an RB26DETT? Sounds like a damn "Star Wars" robot!

That skyline engine was built to be modded hard!
There is one Skyline in my country that pumps out 1000+hp and another doing 850hp with mid-10s quarter miles...
Yeah..aint Skylines six cylinder though?
Personally I think we are all better off with them honda engines... Skyline owners have sat in my car and envied our vtec surges and I've got comments like "sounds like F1 car!". F20C is something very special and state of the art. Keep it. Well..bore it to 2.2L by all means...
