I've been searching and searching, but I seem to get so many weird results with the SAU search feature.

I'm just curious as to what it would take for an rb26 swap in to my s13. I have an rb20 intalled currently with an r32 crossmember... Are all r32 crossmembers the same? Will the rb26 bolt on to my transmission, and the mounts that my rb20 sit on? Do rb20 oil pans work on the 26?

Any input is greatly appreciated.. I apologize if this has been covered before, as Im sure it has somewhere. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I already have the rb20 transmission, I realize that its pretty weak, but since I already have it.. I'll upgrade when I feel like spending $1000+ on an rb25 transmission... Yeah thats right they cost $1000+ in the states.

The rb20 transmission will hold my power goals for now. As I am only concerned about getting the motor running properly on stock HP, before tear into modifying it.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I appreciate it.

PS: would you ship that sump to the states?

go to www.nissansilvia.com theres lot of info on rb conversion i even started a thread on this site and nissan silvia about doin a rb26dett conversion into a s13 silvia (as i do these conversions)

dont bother puttin a rb20det g/box behind it put a rb25 box in as u do this conversion as when the rb20 box breaks its a pain in the ass to swap and put a rb25 box in when the engine is in the car

u also will have to change the input tailshaft yoke (as rb25 are bigger) change the clutch master , modd the rb25 speedo sensor as it is longer than s13 an wont read right, modd g/box crossmember

may aswell do it right 1st time

IIRC you will need a rb25 cross member too as it makes the engine sit lower in the s13 allowing the bonnet to clear the rb26....also I'm pretty sure if you stay with the TT setup you need to mod either the strut tower or the manifold as the turbos foul on the strut tower in the stock location.

nah, rb20 is better, no mods needed heapd and heaps of room.. i even set it up to use factory fan setup :laugh: See below

A speedo sender to suit a navara will work fine in the 25 box with the s13 dash..

Theres no need to mod the box cross member, a cross member to suit a silvia auto box will bolt in without needing to touch it and suit the 25 box..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
