EJ20 is a 4 wheel drive engine what tran would bolt up to it to fit in a silvia, also i have never heard about dropping a supra engine in a silvia before, also what tran would bolt up ? but that what the RB30DETT is for simialer to the supra engine 3L displacement DOHC with twin turbos

Also if the RB26DETT is to expensive then drop in a RB25DET almost just as good except for the extra liter and another turbo and some other stuff

Yeah I thought an RB25 would be nice too, seeing that it's fairly cheaper than the RB26. But didn't you just say earlier that the RB25 is actually more difficult to fit than the RB26? Why is that?

To anyone with an RB26 engine, I was wondering what kind of turbos do they use? Twins or Single? I have an HKS GT3037S turbo and was wondering if that's a little too small for the RB26? I know most people when they do an engine conversion they usually stick on a larger turbo like a T78 or something. Is the 3037S too small for a GTR? Expected power from a GT3037S?

Thanks Steve. I guess I am probably thinking how fast a 300rwkw r32 GTR is gonna go? I'd expect mid-11secs? I used to have the 3037S on my 2L and it was fairly laggy in that not much boost was made until after 3500rpm. I guess a 2.6L could probably make boost around 3000rpm with a 3037S?

I'm tossing up between buying a 180 or 1989 r32 GTR. I want to use the 3037S in it, but I don't want it to be too laggy. But then again I also want to get into drifting and I've heard that 180s are much better. I heard that the r32 GTR is too heavy to drift.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
