Sounds kinda like the 3SGTE Supra on Hi-Octane... lots of dollars tho and they did it for weight distribution reasons. Its not a good idea for $$$ reasons if thats what you are thinking. The conversion would be soooo expensive, you might as well make the RB tougher.

Off topic,

Though i think Top Secret picked the 4 cyl to mimic JGTC rules, in which you can run higher boost.. - i think.

You have an extra half a litre of displacement and a cast iron block. I'd say you've got a good chance of getting more bang for your buck with the RB25 than the SR20.

It might cost a bit less to maintain, but considering no-one does this conversion all your bits will have to be custom....which will cost you a fair amount. Your TCO will inevitably be higher.

As everyone else has said, unless you're prepping the car for motorsport and you want to weight balance gains (and perhaps rules on engine displacement may affect you) I can't see a gain.

Nah the SR20 will have such a hard time in a heavy body, especially if you get the old S13 Red top with no NVCS (variable valve timing) which'll make off boost torque even worse. The good thing is that aftermarket parts are everywhere, but I'd still take the RB25 anyday. Hell I'd love to try a RB25 in my S chassis!!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
