dano4127 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 go to the first page and download the pdf guide after you read that and if there are any specific questions to what your doing ask away! the guide pretty much explains it all when it comes to what goes with what and how. Read it carefully as i just put my motor in forgetting to do the RB25 sump mod now i gotta drop the sump off which is a bitch considering i just had the motor out on a stand!!!!! RB26 does not have any form of VVT/VCT/VTEC 26 heads dont have vct - thats only the gheyass rb25's my gheyass RB25 doesn't!

Cubes Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Wing it.. If you haven't got half a brain to work out the problems as you come across then its best you don't do the conversion. Get the two motors in front of you and have a look. Its all quite simple.

shanef Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 so these adapters go over the top of the standard girdle? correct. the std girdle/main caps get machined down to suit. i initially looked at getting rid of the std cast caps, but when i looked at the caps where the bearings sit, they are not round (oval shaped) and they are slightly recessed - i dont have the funds to do r&d on 2+ motors to get that style of girdle correct, but i do have the funds to do r&d on this style of girdle Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15420-r33-rb30-conversion/page/306/#findComment-3613435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsmo30tt Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 sorry for asking this probably been asked and answered a few times but im not reading 306 pages.. so can someone please tell me the difference between a rb30 short block and long block.. and does it matter what one i use Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15420-r33-rb30-conversion/page/306/#findComment-3614715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 sorry for asking this probably been asked and answered a few times but im not reading 306 pages.. so can someone please tell me the difference between a rb30 short block and long block.. and does it matter what one i use Long motor includes bottom end and head and all internal parts but no accessories. short motor is same as above minus the head, includes internal parts inside the block and sump. It's obvious what you need for the det conversion.
