Hey guys

I am a new member to this forum=).. hopfully will be on some cruises with you guys.. i am about to purchase a 4 door r32 skyline that currently has a rb20det .. because i am a p plater and am restricted to driving turbo i am thinking about doing an SR20DE VVTI s14 motor into my skyline.

My Idea that i have considered. Ppl have done the Rb motors into an S13 silvia using the skyline crossmembers and bolts straight in. in saying that would it also be the same if i use the S13 Silvia SR crossmember into my skyline and bolt straight in.

my 2nd If using the sr20de 4 cly motor that would also help in weight destribution as it is further back in the engine bay. in saying this it will be able to handle pretty well in my opinion.

What i havn't yet researched on is wiring. How hard would it be exactly to wire up the engine loom to run the car. Being nissan i think that it should be able to be done.

I have seen a sr20det into a 4 door skyline and it handles pretty well in the drift comp. Like to thank you guys for reading and if u could be a help to this conversion it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Jace

Can you do that? As in throw in a NA engine into a car that was originally turbo and be able to drive it on your P's? I always thought they get the car's factory specs. Like you can't go out and buy an R33 and throw in 200kg of bricks (also getting it engineered) to make it under the power to weight ratio.

Make sure you know 100% you can get away with it before doing anything.

I'm fairly sure RB20DET gearbox will NOT bolt onto an SR. Namely all the SR boys that want to upgrade to RB25 gearbox (same bolt up pattern as RB20 box) need to do a bit of work to make them fit.

This mostl likely means, custom bellhousing (or at least some work to it), different gearbox x-member, modified tailshaft, new gearbox.

The cost starts adding up, just think, is it really worth it?

Go buy a shitter for the mean time to drive on the road and drive your car out at the track where it should be driven :)

Then when it's time you get your full licence, you can just register yours and be done with it :P

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
