hey guys, jus wondering if anyone could give me some info on putting an rb26det into a r33 gts-t? is there alot of modifying to fit the engine? also i imagine this is an expensive thing to do?

very expensive... being that i wouldnt run the risk of using stocker turbos.

So its a 5 figure adventure.

Whats your power goal? and how much do you want to spend? For 250-300rwkw, keep the RB25, do some internal work for anything over 280rwkw (rough rule of thumb). 250 - 270 is a good figure to aim for with a 25 as you can achieve that power with little more lag than stock, and keep the internals stock. Any more than this and your up for some big dollars

If you want morepower and little lag go for a RB30DET exelent base for 300 - 400rwkw less stuffing around than a RB26 and less lag.

my 2 cents

cheers

You can only use one engine mount the left one needs to be modified to clear the turbos and associated parts. Standard RB25 box fits. Sump needs to be modified.

Drive in drive out works out to be in the 10-14g range. Ive priced it all before....

Its pretty straight forward, RB25 box will bolt directly onto the motor, you can use the rb25 loom to run the thing, IF, you convert to a single turbo setup, <much wiser move IMHO, properly selected single eg, gt30 with a .64/82 rear will be on boost earlier most likely than the stock twins> if you stick with twins you'll need to get the loom from the 26 wited in to suit, as you will need to retain the dual AFM's and o2 sensors etc..

i used stock r33 mounts to the motor with nismo mounts to the subframe, and box..

as for the sump theres a couple of optiosn you can do.. use an rb25/30/20 style sump, you'll need to bash the side where the oil pick up is, and prevent it from leaking, <slightly dodgy method> or modify the gt-r sump, by chopping off the diff housing, and cleaning it up, then welding up the holes left from where the diff passes through it, that'll fit in perfectly and clear everything..

you can also get some extended units from various places, ive had one developed for me locally by a mate of mine, will hold about 10 litres of oil, and pretty crucial if your going to be belting it on the track, if its just a streeter you will be fine with the modified stock sump..

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
