Oh just to add you've already had one bad time with the dick who built the supra lump so stay away from junk that abbey have built if you stuck on one speak to ron at rk turning
my rb i had built by tr racing was awesome i wish i still had it tbh.
all tuners have built a bad un includeing rk tuning mate.
i would hapily use mgt racing, abbey or rk tuning, i love the rb26 not as torque as a 2jz but still awesome in its own right.
any engine will be unreliable if its not built correctly, the supra was a prime example the best of the best components and it trashed the bottom end in no time, i dont know what but some thing was massivly flawed in the engine build. my rb26 wasnt a big budget build just a stock crank, stock rods with forged wiseco pistons 7800 rpm all day long not a problem, much the same as my current r32 except my current one is stock sump and oil pump hence not going over 460 hp with it and 7500 rpm limit, i try to not pass 7k rpm.
