Time For New Engine

[Johnny Cash]

Well, I read an article a while back where a guy with a GT4 Celica put the Lexus V8 motor (LS400/SC400)

into it, and it actually ended up being lighter than the 3S-GTE!

Might be an interesting hybrid idea for a skyline. Imagine hearing a skyline go past with that V8 rumble,

you'd confuse everyone!

Pretty sure I have read somewhere that someone has already chucked a Gen III into a R33......

Oh would someone be able to confirm that since I am dropping a RB25DET into the Cefiro that i just need to get the Apexi PFC suited to that engine..ie R33 GTST. Or is it not as simple as that??

I actually wonder how something like an old sprinter would go with a 1UZ-FE under the hood.

Probably front end heavy, but imagine the grunt!

Someone up here in qld actually has an r33 with the 4.5l q45 V8 in it, AND a supercharger

With the ae86, someone else up here has one with an rb25 in it, to say the least it hauls. Then there is the 180sx with the 2jz in it, and one big mofo turbo... Then the starlet with the 3sgte in it...

But rb25 is a sensible option. Id just like someone to do the rb30 before me so I know if there is going to be any problems

hey mate

yeh i've done the rb30

its all pretty straight forward.

rb30e bottom end

c33 rb25de half cut. because there cheap and non vvt

you can run a standard head gasket (rb30 or rb25)

8.2-1 compression

you need to lower your engine,eith with rx7 engine mounts or cut and shut your current ones(the cross member not the mount.

you need a little re wiring nothing major (not sure on costs sorry also done myself)

cost under a grand as i done all the work myself

still n/a at the moment beatins SS commo's and my mates r34 rb25det NEO(stock)

highly recommended.i'm still totaly stock and very happy with my performance.

LoL, awesome man. My mechanic has done quite a number with rb26 heads, so I would probaby go that way.

How was the crossover pipe and the bonnet???

No worries, bonnet wouldnt shut cause of timing belt cover, lowered motor about 20mm, no problems with pipework.
