Hey all, I'm the ex owner of a sexy c33 laurel - really wish I didn't sell that car... Anyway,

In regards to the rb20e motored auto a31 cefiro, what needs to be done in regards to an rb20det manual swap...

Are the brakes the same as the stock rb20det cefiros, do the rb20det bolt straight in, is the gearbox the same as far as autos go and is it any harder to put a manual in because of the whole rb20e thing.

How about the diff in the rb20e, is it a VLSD like the turbo models?

Thanks, Any info would be really really good, I need it quickish

Cheers boys

Gavin

hey buddy,

the non turbo never came wit VLSD (only turbo)

um the brakes shud be the same as the s13 so i think you'll need 2 upgrade to sr20det (ca18det brakes are shit 4 a rb) brakes nd disks (not 100%)

not too sure if your doin this your self but... a decent-ish price on da manual covertion installed with parts and rb20det gear box shud b around 1.5 grand

if u are doin it your self(nd not a mech) u will have sum headache's but is doable..... and dats if u have a guide 2 follow lol

p.s wat state u located in?

^ um the rb20det is stronger then the rb20de, you can use the rb20de box if you wanna go cheap, i think the gear ratio is a lil dif ( not too sure). although you'll probly blow it at sum point seeing the you live in jap and have nice roads 2 play with

They have different housings, but the internals are pretty much the same. It's not worth it to swap in a turbo gearbox.

Not true, as far as I know they never came in any single cam models though. Lots of DE Cefiro's with the five speed auto came with the VLSD.

well i didnt wanna give you the back story but ill make it quick.... i sold the manual tranny and all the components to a mate here in japan to do a auto to manual swap... but my dumbass left my flywheel on my wrecked R32 GTSt and off to the junk yard it went....

so instead of buying a $150 dollar flywheel, i considered just using the one from my Cefiro motor (an RB20E not a DE) since im gonna rip out the motor anyways and throw it away when i put the SR in next week.

so yeah im just wondering about the Flywheel not the entire tranny since i have a DET tranny minus flywheel.

sorry again to sort-of thread jack....

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
