R34 Motor+running Gear Into R33 Gts-t

[4drftn]

i am considering putting a worked R34 neo motor, running gear and aftermarket ECU into my R33 GTS-T.

Just would like to know how much work is involved in doing this conversion. As i am considering this as an option instead of upgrading and rebuilding my RB25, as i can get my hands on the R34 motor.

Im unsure if the engine mounts etc. will have to be moved or modified and if customising much of the gear to make it fit, as i am unfimiliar with the R34 motors, and also the electrical side of things regaurding computers and aftermarket systems.

any info, suggestions or alternatives etc. will be good, i would just like to weigh up whether it worth it or not

i might add that the gearbox is a Gertrag 5 speed, and i get the tail shaft but no diff... would the tailshaft bolt up to the stock R33 GTS-T diff?

Why would you bother? they are basically exactly the same, save for some minor upgrades on the neo engine.

You would be wasting your money.

What the are the end goals for the car/engine/project?

well basically, down here it cost a mate near $10,000 dollars to forge the internals in his rb25 with stock turbo high flowed, retune and small mods like walbro fuel pump which is pretty expensive and i can possibly get my hands on a neo motor+gearbox with forged internals, all new gaskets, t04 turbo, new larger injectors, FMIC aftermarket Dr.drift ECU etc. (basically everything but diff) pushing a promissing 250kw on 10psi for less than half the price of the rebuild.

depending on how much work, time and cost for the conversion will determine what i can possibly do in the very near future. At the moment my rb25 has had modifications (bigger turbo, injectors, cam, FMIC, microtech ECU etc etc) pushing a maximum of 300hp with stock internals. will maybe consider bottom end rebuid or rb30 bottom end etc. but exploring this as an option...

cheers

Traction control and CAS on the neo could be a bit of a problem...

[4drftn]

it will be possible to go without traction control, would the CAS be a problem? what would be involved?

[4drftn]

would the R34 gertrag 5 speed bolt straight up to my rb25t thats currently in my R33 without hassle?

agreed "Traction control and CAS on the neo could be a bit of a problem..." and also you will have to modify the engine mounts...not sure about tial shalft fitting up to r33 diff...but the rest should not be a problem fitting motor, loom, computer and box...keep us updated.
