Your best off sending him a pm, but I must advise he has spent a pretty penny as his car is a drag car these days...

But he did have it road registered and road worthy for a while until he got really serious about drag racing...

SR can run that standard internals no sweat.. even on 1 bar of boost and by 3700rpm :blink:

u knw u want to be the 2nd line with a SR20 in it..

So can an RB25

Many many RB25s have made around 300rwkw on stock bottom ends, I however like to be safe hence why I have an engine built to handle 800hp when I only intended to run around 400hp

And Yes I know SRs can pull similar numbers they are however also unsafe, I like my car to be well with in limits and assuming our friend here has already popped one engine I am sure he would rather be on the safe side from now on

and sif second skyline to have an SR

25/30..going to do it, do it right. You will love it.

keep your head. Sell your bottom end for a few hundred.

Pick up a rb30 for 100 bux. cheaper can be found easy enough.

depending on power, forged spool rods for like 800-900bux should pull it up or can use standards, forged pistons for like 1350.

new bearings maybe 120, thats mains and big ends. headgasket for like 200 or less.

Just machining($1000) and assembly(fark knows, never paid anyone to assemble a motor before) required.

Exhaust will need to be modified, and ic piping, if using std inlet you might need to drop the crossmember down a little with some spacers or raise the bonnet.

There is a little bit of work involved, but if your not afraid to turn some spanners and get your hands dirty, not only can you save some money you might learn something.

Hell yes now thats a plan!!!

i hope your joking?

i didnt think having a slow sr powered skyline is cool. Unless slow cars with small engines are considered cool nowadays?

... :D tsk tsk another SR hater..

yeah.. well ur an individual (ricer) and im sure that if i was a show car or something wanting to be different i wouldnt want to have the run of a mill RB25 in my sweet lookin skyline. i would go for something else.

personally if i was in brentons position and i had money i would go a different engine.. prob a 1UZ or 2UZ perhaps a JZ engine but a SR20 would be a nice conversion over the Rb20 25 26 and 25/30s thats been done..to death.. too many lines out ther and nothing stands out unless u have 750hp

an SR half cut is far less than a RB25 cut in similar condition. u cna use the RB25 auto if u want. which is slighty strongr than the SR i would presume.

brentons car is unique so im sure a conversion thats been done less would attract far more votes at shows than a 25/30 with 500ponies..

Hell yes now thats a plan!!!

read up i think my opinion is valid

SRs are actaully as expensive if not more so than a 25

ok i would agree that the sr is a great motor if not one of the best 4cyl engines around tons of support and knowledge out there great little bit of gear,

BUT THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD EVER CONSIDER PUTTING ONE IN MY SKYLINE!

SR conversions are for old school datto's carollas gemi's etc. or of-course the silvia/180 lineup

x2, Imagine the devaluation when you tried to sell your car. For sale....Series 2 skyline with 4 banger. Like, WTF. ;)

yeah spoke to dan on the phone just waitin for him to email the quote

Sorry mate, I have re-sent the email. Probably best to discuss in person as customisation can be done.

Also - who told you $4k for second hand - it's more like $2k

Hey man.

How would you go with a r34 gt-t neo engine.Would it fit??As i think i can sell you one cheap complete. :)

pm. me if you are interested!! :)

yes the neo will fit. but the neo aint much different from a normal RB25. not really an upgrade imo

dude. i got one sitting at my house. take me 2 days to do the conversion.. but that engine is going into the S14 which we inspect this weekend.. he'll even have tip tronic. lol

5k S14 FTW :)

actually noel u couldnt be more wrong.. have a look. RB25 180sx are going for 17k for a 90 model.. and SR ceffys go for more than the RB ones do. and im sure a skyline with a SR20 in it would fetch more than a RB25.. why cause people like individuality.. like ur ugly ass chromies.. :)

cars with engine swaps nearly always fetch more. unless its a molested converted skyrine vs a complete stock low kms model.

      Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?

      Cold compression test after rebuild... should I be worried?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards

      OR, Tell the Motec to STFU, you said shift, so try shifting! But then yes, I agree, more sensors needed to. Put either a wheel speed sensor, or a diff speed sensor on it. Then get an input shaft speed sensor too. (I say input shaft speed, and not engine RPM). This way, you can now also log and see if the clutch is slipping (RPM, vs input shaft speed), and you can calculate gear (Input shaft speed / Output shaft speed). At least then if the gear position sensor fails you have a backup. And realistically, the Motec should only worry about what gear you're in for the parts where I'm assuming you have some power management strategies in it for the lower gears. (IE, lower boost, maybe different throttle curves, different ignition curves, etc etc). But it should stop it shifting. Pull the flappy, that f**ker should just attempt the motion! Heck, even on a sequential like on a motorbike, you can keep trying to kick it up a gear all you want, the physically part of the box takes care of not being able to loop the whole way around the box! Only part you'd have to worry is how it gets to reverse.  But that's on the driver... An R32 shouldn't be so smart as to try and override the driver on a gear shift

      Yeah, nah. Anyone not putting the absolutely largest battery that will physically fit (ie, NS70 X) is not thinking straight. the NS70 X is close on double the capacity of the "stock" unit.

      Not only should you be testing compression with a strong battery, you should be putting a charger on it. These cars have pretty small batteries and it's possible to discharge them enough that by the last cylinder the starter isn't turning as fast.
