Rb25 Powered S13

[MeAn s13]

hey guys though ill post up my car build, its not a skyline but it shares a skyline motor

the car has been off road for bout 2 years, just simply gave up and left it sitting there, due to a defect notice

bur resently i put a hold on my vn ss project and pulled the car cover off the s13, and boy do i miss driving that car, it was my first car, so much love for it

when i first bought it (in 2006) it had a rb20 in it, that motor lasted about a year, then bought a stock series2 r33 half cut and got the motor out of it and droped it in, with in the first week of getting it running again with new motor , i copped a yellow sticker (defect notice) and smashed my diff as well, then depression started kicking in and just didnt want to deal with the car no more. untill now.

all the body work was done by previous owner, which he done a great job with and wont be changing the looks, maybe just a new bonnet, so ive been working on the motor and interior

hell yeah boii looks aceee.

theirs something about putting rb25's in s13's just gotta love it, 6 cylinders all the way

[matt77]

hey mate just wondering how much its roughly cost u for the engine conversion and all the mods + driveline ie suspension ,diff etc

[MeAn s13]

brodie7- Cheers man, was gonna get a sr22det which made 600hp in jap land but the guy wouldnt want to part with it lol, but the rb25 is still good.

matt77- ok im gonna try to make this sound simple, keep in mines these are perth prices and this was about 2 years ago, so will vary if your not from here

R33 manual series 2 half cut- $2800

labour to do conversion-$1500

custom tailshaft-$700

suspension- came with car but go for around $800 second hand for tein's

diff-$650-700 for a second hand 2way

bosch 040 fuel pump $200 ish (new)

you would also need a cefiro crossmember, there probably around $200-$250 (only guessing), dont know what previous owner did to mine to make the rb20 fit

my car made (on stock turbo) 229.7rwhp (sumthing like that) on 10psi, catback exhaust,front mount cooler,pod, stock front/dump pipe with major hole (very bad leak), and had a flat spot from 3500rmp to 4500rmp (round there), but still went hard

abit pricey conversion but worth it, but you gotta remember you have to get your cluster (both km/h and rpm) recalibrated due to the the big gear box, and goin 6cylinder, also would need to run thermo fans too, hope that help, if you want more info let me know

cheers chris
