Dropping A Rb26 Into A Rb25

[Zas)-(]

hey guys

just wanted to know who would be able to drop in a rb26 into a r33 series one skyline?

in sydney area?

are there any complications?

what are factors to look out for?

ball park figure of costs ?

cheers

for a straight conversion i'd hit up hills motorsports.

they do good work with conversions and are pretty well priced.

as for costs, i'd be looking at an r33 rb26 if you dont want dramas down the track so you may be up for around 10k for a decent motor, loom, ecu and piping as well as other custom work that may be needed to be done.... + labour.

have you priced a motor yet? if you haven't then you might want to look at the first as it would be a cheaper option to build up a 25. you would get more power for your money.

so it pretty much isnt worth it realli?

hills motor sports great i'll see wha ttha say

but realli stock you get 230 rwkw out of it and i onli want max 280 rwkw so is it worth it>????

is it simpler to buy another car cause i love my car but its a 93 model and its kinda showing its age ya know

tell me what u blokes think.

10 g's for that motor onli i'll see if i can get em in jap sumwhere. what about the 32 rb26 bottom end?

arggh..

p.s hills motorsport? whats their number?

10k would get you over 250kw out of the rb25 rather easily. you would probably get a rebuilt rb25 to 280kw for cheaper than the cost of putting a rb26 in, and it would be more reliable as you would know exactly the condition of the motor.

for around half the price id be doing an rb30 with your 25 head.

For 280 id leave the 25 alone and throw bolt on's at it, and maybe cams if you felt that way inclined.

+1 for either sticking with 25 or going 30 bottom end.

For the $$ youd be comfortably making 280rwKw before you have the rb26 in and running

greg @ autosport engineering: 9521 1388

Done more than his fair share of 26 rwd conversions (with his own S13 and S15 etc), so he'd have a pretty damn good idea of what's involved and the costs

lol greg at autoport. my mate did his rx conversion there and he took them to court over it because it died on the track

so im pretty hesitant to go there atm mate

rb30 bottom end, now would normal mechanics be able to bolt it on or would i need to gets hills a call or another performance engineered mechanic

i like the rb20 idea, except i think you need to fix oil squirters??? whats involved in that?

say a cost of what 5 grand would be sweet for the rb30 conversion>

Best post in the thread by far.

No need for the RB26 for only 280rwkw. Its massive cost for not a lot of point other than "hey, i have an RB26"

yeah but you have the best pic

biggest tosser on sau by far ... jkez

thanks guy for all your help i'll opt for the rb30conversion heaps of info to read
