I've read up on some other Rb26 projects that people have built and they have went with a new crank, pistons, connecting rods, cams and all that good shit. Is that over kill or would it be good to be on the more durable side???
Id go with new rods with arp bolts and pistons atleast. If you want to do as I did and go the extra mile put a crank in it also. For that power level I'd go with a big single also. A GT40R or even a GT42R turbo. 272 Cams, ATI damper, N1 waterpump, and a Jun oil pump also.

If you want to be able to rely on this build then I would deffinately go the extra mile. Don't know how much RB experience you got but take extra time finding your parts, you'll be surprised how much you can save by doing that.

Also, check out www.freshalloy.com forums, they have tons more info and numerous RB26 build threads.
