If you can put a LS1 in to a skyline im shore a XR6T can go in with time and money.

ls1 would go in easier than a ford straight 6 (v8 is shorter and lower and lighter). as i said in the other thread the OP started asking this, issue would be with the height of the motor and the weight (they are an iron block, not alloy, although the head is alloy), and possibly the length. but if it's a track car then you can easily overcome the size issues with a bit of creative panel beating, but it may still handle like a bucket of crap because of the weight.

RB26 weighs in at around 180kgs bare, the Barra engine around 175kgs bare.

Ancillaries would be similar weight.

RBs are iron block, so that's a moot point.

Block height difference might be a bit, but even if it's 40mm, that' be pretty easy to overcome with engine mounts and/or a bulge in the bonnet.

I reckon a 4Lt in a 32 would be a f**king weapon.

It's not a bad fit.

Height is a slight issue but nothing major, if using an FG rear sump engine it will require modifications.

I've got one in an r32 gtst and an r34 GTT.

Also developing a 4 bolt main sump/diff for an awd conversion.

We figured it'd be a wanted component.

Weve been playing with FG and BF engines for a while now. Have a dry dumped FG engine going into an r34 and also another BA engine going into an r32 GTsT for track school shortly.

The awd sump is a work in progress but very possible

Well you have to admit it was a kinda of obvious question, wasn't it??

My reply wasn't intended to offend.

It has to retain a GTR gearbox.

As for how I'll make it work properly, that's what I do for a living, it's all custom fabrication.

      I would be cautious with those 2000/2200 CNG injectors, swap them out for a set of 1550 aka 1650 Bosch stainless ones before you take out a motor.

      Problem with 5th after manual swap on R32 GTS4

      By TheOrangeSkittle · Posted

      I tested them all a couple times, haven't tested it warm or wet though. The only seemingly really weird thing was the cylinders plug closest to the dash was pitch black nearly.  Doesn't smoke out of the exhaust or anything.    Also sorry everyone for the very late response. Got busy with work and all and didn't get around to fooling with the car for awhile.  But an update! I figured out the cause of the lean condition, my intercooler had at some point exploded or something. It's clearly separated in a spot with black oily buildup around the leak, and multiple leaks in various vacuum lines. I've replaced it and the vacuum lines, and gotten new clamps and there are 0 leaks now after doing a couple smoke tests.   The car now runs significantly better and the exhaust doesn't overheat anymore. I still have the main problem though where the engine feels like I'm lugging it around sub 3500rpm in any gear besides 1st, 2nd It's less noticeable but 3rd anything under 3.5k and I need to downshift or the engine is clearly struggling when trying to accelerate at all, 4th is the exact same, sub 3.5k engine won't accelerate and its hard to bring it back up to speed, 5th gear doesn't feel like the car is going to straight up fall apart now but it still can't pull 5th. It slowly loses speed and rpm and ANY gas I give I can feel the shakes from the engine and it slowly dying. If I ever so lightly give it gas it will slowly and nicely decel till around 2k rpm instead of lugging. But it cannot accelerate at all or maintain speed.   If I go from first gear at 5 or 6krpm and then shift to second it also feels like it's struggling to make power till above 3krpm if trying to accelerate but I can cruise around parking lots at around 1-2krpm just fine in 2nd. It's just when accelerating hard it and changing gear you really notice it die down.  But even if you shift at way lower rpms it does the same thing till somewhere above 3k.  As far as I'm aware it's got r32 gtr transmission gear ratios with gts4 diffs. The tire size is 205/55r16 91h Above 3500rpm the car pulls and runs and drives quite normally and the power from engine sounds and feels very smooth.  It's perfectly driveable at above 3.5krpm but I drive on the highway alot for work and it gets really bad gas mileage in 4th at 4.4krpm. Not that I'm looking for great gas mileage with such a car, just I'm sure being at around 3krpm would be significantly better for it.    Have appreciated all your guys help. I do understand the engine may just be f**ked from running with a boost leak though.    One final thing I'd like to add is I'm only shifting so high in the rpm range is because if I don't I will feel the engine lugging bad with 0 power in lower rpms, pretty much anytime off boost trying to accelerate it feels really bad.  Also when I say 3500 rpm I don't mean exactly. Just around there.
