You need to workout what power you are ultimately chasing... The R32 Gearbox is lighter than an R33 one, and can still handle 250 rwkw. So if your power figure is less than that, you are much better off sticking with that gearbox. When fitting an R33 one, the standard tail shaft will not fit, and will make the install a bit more difficult.

The engine drops in, no worries at all. However the biggest nightmare is the wiring. This is mainly due to the R33 battery being in the boot - so both looms have to be spliced into each other. If I could do my engine conversion all over again, I would send both looms off to a specialist to get sorted, prior to the install.

thanks for the reply mate the loom is going to be done by mate so that is the easy bit.what would be needed to run the rb25 mate?

go search the tutorials area.

I have a rb25 in a r32, the power difference is worth it and if a mate can do the loom, also you can not run the std air box because of the std rb25 piping.

(200rwkw in a r32 is a 12 sec pass) To get 200rwkw out of a rb20 there is a lot of mods to do.

you can say that again sandy it works out alot cheaper to go for the rb25 and also its capable of alot more

so with the money i save i can go for a new turbo&ecu so its happy days for me

amen to that.. or i'd just buy a f*kn autronic and not even bother about factory setup.. which is were im almost at the point off.. mate is having one last go with getting it running with factory computer.. after that im just goin to go out and buy a haltech or autronic

[DOUGMO]

if you use an after market ecu can you just use most of the

rb20 loom and sensors?

for f**ksakes wiring the factory computer is piss easy.. its not rocket science.

sure thing cockhead.. im not a f**king leccy.. and i hate wiring and if you think its that f**king easy you come do it

what wiring troubles r u havin

rb26 into a s13 sil

rb26 into a r32

etc

as ive done a few rb conversions with factory ecu set ups

hey, reading your post with interest. Is it proven that 200rwkw rb25 in an r32 is a 12 sec pass? Have u done it and if yes wat sort of supporting mods did u have?

And back to the point - rb25 in an r32 best to do both engine and gearbox. R32 gearbox can handle up to 250rwkw, but is not as sollid as the rb25 box. You'll notice how much better the rb25 box feels. May as well do both to avoid further costs.

Modifications required will be gearbox mounts, tailshaft and yoke. The rb25 box is longer than the rb20 so all the adjustments need to be made. Also, run the rb25 ECU with it.

Hope this helps,

cheers

I got the info from (meggala.com) it’s in the modifying guide part 2, have a look at the website it has a lot of good skyline stuff on it.

lol

funny enough u say that - my r32 is meggala's old 32 with the 12sec SR20 in it.

He sold it to me 2 yrs back with an rb20 and since then I've dropped an rb25 into it. My goal is to run a low 12 hopefully with the stock turbo.

I'll have a look on the site anyways....lol

cheers mate

It's always a small world if you get a good take off you will do the 12.
