Tarka,

Thats what I meant - the engine will be going in my other new Nissan that arrives in late June/early July. Its an all alloy engine so it weighs around 220kg's which is a fair bit, but then an RB26 weighs around the 180kg mark so not that bad really - and given that its only 4cylinders long as opposed to 6 it will fit further back in the engine bay making that weight difference actually a positive thing for balance and handling rather thana negative thing. I expect by the time its twin turbo'd and all together it will weigh about 70kg's more than a fully built RB26.
