Yes I'm a diehard Mustang lover and I don't care if I insult someone with my opinion!!!Just go check if peeps in Nissan Forum are licking our balls...just for fun...
First of all, RB26DETT is straight 6, not 4 banger
Despite of your stereotypical import view, RB26
is a work of art. Any engine that can push 278hp(or 300+hp as some thinks) out of 2.6L(thats 156cu/in BTW) is something to be recken with. Especialy when that engine is capable of handring near 1000hp in almost stock form is definately something we, Ford V8(or GM for that matter) aren't able to craim.
Whats 2v 4.6L can handle? 450hp? may be little more with perfect tune? how about terminater engine? 650hp or so(i could be wrong on this one)?
And I'm sure with enough money and right parts, even 2v can handle far more then that. But RB26DETT does this with perfect streetablity. on pump gas, with A/C.
RB26DETT may not be nice engine to look at(then so are 2v 4.6L with cratterd vacuum and wires. Not DOHC tho
), but its a fine example of when engineer was given a task of creating all conquering engine, and told their finace guy and lowyer to STFU, and produced engine that are soooo capable, yet so obtainable. and Civilized. Yet can be turned in to a beast with very miner effort. Thats like Ford stick detuned version of those 358ci Nascar engine in our car, with A/C that run on pump gas. I don't care what you think. but thats a beautiful thing if you ask me
We are all car lovers. I like my Mustang. And my T/A. And i like all other form of fast cars, that are powered by ford V8 or GM V8 or straight 6 or Wonkel from far east.
