dad lives over here 3 weeks of every month, and he thought it would e good for me to come over for 2 weeks and stay in his apartment for something to do

so here i am :D

yo shane hypotheticly speaking,

if you had an R32 GTST that had an R33rb26 rwd conversion done its matched up to a 25 box and hardwired DLink ecu

Now take a basicly stock R33 GTST and swap the two engines between the cars loom and all - so the 32 had the 25 from the 33 and the 33 had the 26 from the 32

what are the problems/obsticles to overcome in doing this?

reason being my friend is looking at selling his freshly built car and if i can get the cash together he is considering the posibility of an engine swap

(he has decided to wear a skirt and buy a house)

you can ask me i am doing a conversion atm.....

yeah shane would blab on about r33's and rb26's...and 32's and curse each one....maybe.

but yeah as i said above....if you change everything, then just placement of items and radiator etc, and tailshaft, gearbox mount are the only bits i can think of, but then shane may think of something else.....oh you may need to make room for the different style plenum off the 26, fuel lines.....fuel pump, dump pipes...should change straight off the other car.

space wise should be fine as its a big single conversion

at the moment all i can think of is radiator and dump but they should be easy

how do the engine mounts go?

engine mounts are the same...as all the block castings are the same...as with the rb30.

but probably drive shaft...gearbox mount maybe....radiator.....space to do it...every thing else should match up...

what do you mean by driveshaft?

and the gearbox should be fine cause the 32 has a rb25box in it that th 26 is matched up with the clutch has been changed from pull to push or whatever it is

ahh touche.....if they have the same box in them it wont be a prob...but if the 26 had a 26 box, then the length of the shaft might have changed....i think you need to get a different yoke ...i will find out soon.

only problem i can see is in the loom/hard wired ecu form the rb26 car.

you have 2 options:

a) get someone who knows what they are doing and have wired in a link beofre to un-wire the ecu and transfer it into the other car

or

b) swap looms with the engines

option b would be heaps easier in my opinion, as you could do that urself pretty much, and u know its going to work (well ull have more of a chance of it working :P)

everything else will just swap straight over and bolt up :D

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
