FPMSL! 2x RB26s

Im sorry, i mean Mercedes V12 7.5litre i think

Running 4x GT28s

But NO its NOT made from 2xRB26s

Be a bit daft making 1x 1000bhp engine made from 2x RB26s that can do 1400bhp or more on their own

That video is of Nicholas Kiesas (Ex F1 driver) BLUE standard looking, standard bottomend, R34GTR mate.

That one in the pics isnt even able to drive on the road yet, the engine still isnt totaly finished.

And call me a geek (geek! ) but the cam covers, the head casting, etc, looks nothing like RB26 ones anyhow.

Sounds more feasible to me!! I didn't think it was 2 RB26 donkeys strapped together. The heads are obviously different to each other and could not be a pair of RB heads....

The vid link was just anothe video I picked up along the way which is obviouslt no way connected to the other car....

These are the only 2 links I have to the car...

Hes offered to make me another exact version of the kit for around 500quid...

If i can find a cheap damaged R34GTT shell then i could put my engine in a car like that and run RWD (huge arches for big wheels and the JTCC GTRs were RWD too)...

Tempted! I would have the maddest looking car on earth
