what cars have/would you put an RB25det engine into that works???

i have a heavily worked rb25 and im looking to put it into something but not sure what. GTR or s15 are the first 2 that come to mind but it has to be possible and fairly easy to do aswell

best idea i've seen is a VOLVO wit an rb25 mildly modded at the time i saw it but plans for more,

no one would expect to get their ass kick by a volvo

but i suspect this idea is not for every1

s14's look hot with an rb under the bonnet rather then the pissy little sr. I couldn't personally bare to see anything other than rb26 in a GT-R, but it would be an easier conversion. Did you see the GT-R rolling shell I posted a link to in your other thread...

didn't nissan bring these out from factory? *runs from the stagea owners*

i wouldn't go with any car that had a stronger engine in it already (eg gtr). whats the point?but definately something lighter like a s14 or something. you do change the dynamics of thse cars quite badly when doing this ive heard. all depends on what you're using the car for - drift? circuit? drag? street? something to think about

Some dude in the WA forum put one in his LJ Torana. Castlemain rod shop do a conversion kit for a ,RB30 so stands to reason you could get a RB5 in one fairly easily with that kit. Would be heaps fast as torana is light as. Im trying to talk my cuz into doing this.

cheers

I think ive seen that car go by me, he "BOVed" me and i turned around to look and all i saw was a volvo, so i followed and he had a turbo volvo, i was pissing myself laughing.

I want a BMW M3 with an RB25DET in it. Ive seen one with a 2JZ, so i want a nissan version :P

don't you dare swap a M3 engine for a boat anchor RB.

also, Volvo made low pressure turbos from factory in the early/mid 90s... still a POS though

+1. the m3 motor is very good. around 170kw at the wheels from the non turbo 6. i went to a dyno comp with 1 there. an old guys car. was stock and made 171kw. won the NA 6 cylinder class easily.

as for what to swap it into, there are lots of options. just remeber that if you put it into an old car, you are still going to have old car handling. it may go fast in a straight line, but start praying when you get to a corner.

Yeah a mate of mine has an S13 with a 25 that has a 3037 strapped onto it, its just a little tail happy with 277kw at the wheels on 11psi lol

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
