Rb26 Engine Removal

[Fishpaste~]

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can remove the PS and AC from the side of an RB26 without having to drain fluids/release gas and take off piping first?

how many bolts and where are they located etc? any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for your time in advance

i would guess PS probably AC no

no idea on bolts sorry

EDIT

sorry saw Matts post in the wasteland ask Jess if she knows if you can hang the air con compressor in the engine bay along with the PS pump

just a thought, but im sure you guys are already on it... there are heaps of PDF's pf service manuals for 32 GTR's available on the net. i have a few. pm me if u want a copy of them

You can absolutely remove engine without PS or Aircon - ie leave it hanging in the engine bay. No need to drain, bleed or gas.

yeah, but how do you take it off?? were having trouble finding bolts =\

Edit: thanks Carl, had a look around, but all the guides say to drain/release and the manuals have SFA on how to remove the ac/ps

some of the bolts need to be undone from under the car

undo the tensioner for both belts, PS has one bolt holding it onto the bracket, air con has 4 (2 at the top, 2 at the bottom) i think, been a while since i removed mine.

yeah, we have got 2 from under the car, were just trying to figure out the rest now... =\ got locations/info on them please? thats kinda what were after

[mitchy_]

they aren't that hard to find.. i'm pretty sure they are at the top of the compressor, and screw horizontally into the bracket.

its a lil differently laid out to 20/25 setup, hence where we're struggling. ive lifted 3 or 4 RB20s out of various cars, i was assuming it would be the same, but the pump brackets etc are different to the rest of the RB engines

Carl / Blue32 - if either of you are able to drop around today and give a hand, im sure beer / favours would be paid southern area haha. Its being done in my shed

Will pop my head back in here during the day to check up
