rb26dett or rb25det swap into 240sx


Recommended Posts

okay i know this is a skyline forum BUT since im looking at skyline motors to swap into a 240 i figured i might as well give yall a shot.

anyone know anything about swapping these motors into the nissan 240?

if not....

any idea on the rb25det and rb20det? are htey good motors? im looking for about 400hp to the rear wheels of my next project. can this be achieved {in street tune, on pump fuel} im a machinist at a road race shop here in the u.s. so building the motor isnt really a big deal. but i might not do it right off the bat......

lemme know anything you can,

thanks

Brandon

Well, the good news for you is that all RB series engines fit right into the S13's (240SX to you) - I'm not too sure about the conversion process myself as i haven't really looked into it that much, however if you PM Nismo_Boy he may be able to point you in the right direction as him and his father are currently putting a RB25DET into a S13 Silvia (the 240SX's sister car - same car different front and back panels).

Also perhaps go to www.japanesemotorsport.com.au and E-mail them as they have done quite a few RB conversions from memory. It's not TOO difficult, however a RB26DETT engine will set you back a heap of money. Also, the RB series engines are a heavier engine, and will effect the handling a fair bit. If you're in the USA and have a 240SX with the KA24DE i suggest you look into a SR20DET conversion as its more cost effective and the easiest conversion you could do. They're also a great engine and it wont upset the cars balance, where as the heavier RB series engines will.

Achieving 400hp out of a SR20DET isn't that difficult either, they're a fairly easy engine to tune. Infact, it'd probrably be alot cheaper and easier than if you were to do it to a RB25DET for example.

hope that helps you a little :D

hey th anks for all the pointers :D anyhow i know the rb26 is much more complex than the sr20, which is why i want to put it in there. my shop builds alot of road race cars, so setting up the chassis for the heavy engine wont be much of a problem. i want the rb motor more for bragging rights i suppose, something to awe the customers.

also i feel as though 400 whp is not an achievable goal for the sr20det in a streetable trim. we have a customer that is putting down 457 on his sr20, but running boost levels that are not pump gas friendly. with the larger displacement i feel i can make the 400hp and still run pump gas. {id like to kick some supra ass :( } however if the sr20 can make 400 hp to the wheels {500+crank} at 19 psi or less lemme know. id love any input...i am definately waffling between an rb and an sr...**** for the money of an rb26 i could get the whole sr swap, build it and install it with cash left over :confused:

but i LOVE the inline 6 sound.......:D

Have u thought about a 1JZ-GTE or a 2JZ-GTE

with a 2JZ-GTE u can have 400 Hp easy with very light mods... kick supra ass since its in a lighter car and laugh at them at the lights when they ask u what the hell you've done to your car :D

hey... i know this is a skyline forum too... but i still rekon the Toyota sixes are **** hot too :D

see i always thought s13, s14 was the year of the 240..the s14 being the 95-98 coupe's the s13 being earlier liftbacks..hmm i dunno.

i thought about the 2jzgte, but i think its even bigger than the the rb26..not real sure though.

also i havent been able to find a 2jz for sale anywhere much less at an even sorta reasonableprice.....

Just so you know:D

bah

who can keep up with them stupid yanks. hooray, lets take a perfectly good nissan vehicle, give it another stupid name to confuse people, and put a crap engine in it. OH YEAH, NICE ONE.

S13's in the US are 240SX's.

200SX's over there are B14/B15......similar **** to our Pulsars.

They can also be known as the classic 200SX which were the S10, S110 and S12's.

Tokyo Toys in  Queensland knows a lot about rb conversions into s13's. They did my rb20det conversion into a Silvia. http://www.tokyotoys.com.au/

these people are doing our rb25det convertion.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
