This is what you call a TWINKIE. Yellow on the outside but white on the inside. LOL.

[tyndago]

Thats funny. I have used that for people, but it applies to cars too. So whats the RB powered Mustang ?

[23GT35R]

LOL. I have a white friend that he thinks he Asian so I call him a Egg. White on the outside and yellow on the inside.

[tyndago]

Yes thats it. I have been called that before.

[binzydarren]

spoiled a nice car looks like a coffee tray in the engine and wtf is it with the big hole in the bonnet just modify the original engine u pricks trying to make a ricer american i guess lol!!!

[tyndago]

I think the car was from the UK.

AWW Fuking FAIL man...

[nick081980]

if carburetor v8's are so good then why didn't nissan put one in the car to start with. If you really think some american v8 is a better engine than an rb25 or an rb26 than you don't know much about racing, rb's are lighter, smoother, more responsive, make more power, and are way more reliable.

[vanletkd91]

soo i see he made the car better..

[ogryda68]

rb engines are good but chevy power all the way,chevys are way more reliable then rbs

[Brimmy11]

@nick081980 The only thing out of everything you said there that was true is that the RB is lighter then the old school chev sb.

[DCDisturbed]

v8 would be better for drifting because of the down low tourqe but it does depend on the whole set up, the rb30det/tt engines make a lot more torque over the rb26s and is a common drift moter used in nz

@opiumrx Although I do think nick081980 sounds dumb saying someone doesn't know anything about racing if they think "some American V8 is a better engine than an RB25 or RB26 then you don't know much about racing," considering "some American V8" in racing would include the made-in-America 8,000 hp Hemis used in top fuel drag racing.

[opiumrx]

@jamesandrewjohnson Agreed =]

[jamesandrewjohnson]

@opiumrx True. I'm more an American muscle type, but I see where you're coming from. But it's not any of your cars or my car, so whatever. Not hurting anyone.

[opiumrx]

@jamesandrewjohnson but if you turn the boost up to something like 14psi it produces around ~340 hp, face it its much easier to tune that rb up, i have one in my nissan s13 so i do know what im talkin about

[jamesandrewjohnson]

@opiumrx The factory LT1 350 Chevy makes 370 hp. The RB26DETT with all its electronic control and twin turbos creates 380 hp. That's onyl 10 more, not really "much more powerful," as you said it. In fact, stick a set of headers on it and it should be more powerful than the Nissan. You, sir, are the definate fail.

[jamesandrewjohnson]

@nick081980 Also, the carburetor uses emulsion to mix air and fuel, which makes a much finer mist of fuel, while EFI injects it under pressure making small drops. The carb'd fuel burns more thouroughly and makes tons of power, but the more accurate electronically controlled EFI gets better mileage. Also, the stock RB26DETT is rated at 280 hp, while the almost 47 year old Ford 427 SOHC carbureted V8 made 657 hp. If Ford could do it in 1964 and Nissan can't do it now, what makes Nissan better?
