Selling my RB20det out of my R32 + auto gearbox

Runs fine and goes pretty hard at the moment with an rb25 highflow turbo. Potential buyer welcome to go for test drive to see the engine going nicely. Engine is currently sitting in front of an auto.

Tested good consistent compression across all cylinders recently. Other mechanic checks welcome (your expense). Can provide no other guarantees.

Engine / car was stock until last 6 months when modified carefully. It has a bit of minor blowby, as would be expected for an older turbo engine. Has done 111,000km, but fairly genuine km. Will come assembled with full manifolds, injectors, alternator, etc. NO turbo or lines, AFM and minor bits and pieces I need to transfer to the rb25.

Auto box is the rb20/25 RE4R01A -- and is exact swap into R33 as well as r32. No slipping, very good across the range. **** AUTO SOLD ****

Selling due to rb25 conversion... otherwise engine and auto has given me no problems over last 12 months.

Will not be available for 3 weeks or so, but here is a chance to test/drive it all in my car at the moment for some piece of mind. Put a deposit down, and it'll be ready for you.

Asking $600 for engine.

**** AUTO SOLD ****

rb20 ECU and engine loom may be available later (extra price will have to be decided), but will have to see what the rb25 conversion requires.

Hey man, so your not selling with turbo, lines, afm? What about the loom? Im looking at putting one in my R31, so could you go into detail on what your definetly keeping, like ecu? Cheers, Todd.

Don't think I will need ECU.. Nor probably loom, as have the RB25 one, but will have to see.. So it should be enough for complete conversion into another car. Price on those would be extra to the engine itself.

Sorry I can't be more definitive at the moment, but when I know I will post up.

Turbo, lines, etc are transferring across to the RB25, as its an RB25 turbo anyhow.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
