Hey guys, I have an R32 GTS4 and i recently blew my little RB20DET sky high =P oops. (shitty oil pumps i say)

I'm wanting to get a new engine back in there, but obviously don't want to waste money on another RB20.

I was thinking of putting in an RB25DET manual out of a Stagea (or convert to manual if needed), but I was thinking was IS the difference between an RB25DET RWD engine and a AWD one? really?

From wot ive gathered it the sump studs in different places, but i could always drill that out and modify so perhaps a RWD RB25DET could b bolted straight in with sump modification into my GTS4, perhaps by modifying my RB20 factory sump or? Has anyone done this or heard about it?

It's obviously cheaper n easier to source a RWD RB25DET than one out of a generally newer Stagea, that are generally autos too...

If anyone could clear this up for me conclusively I will be extremely grateful!!!! =P

RWD RB25DET into GTS4 can it be done? I will do all the work myself with a mate including the engine swap. proficient skills. doable?

Thanks in advance.

Have a sweet one guys! =P

stag motors are different to 33 25s, i got burned..

pick ups are different

They work as a straight swap into a R32 GTS4. Mine cost me $3800, but that was 5 years ago, before Stageas were common. The majority will be autos, but it's relatively easy to convert them to manual (if you need to).

The general concensus appears to be that you can't fit a AWD sump to a RWD block. It would be just as cheap (and easy) to get a Stagea engine in the first place.

Cheers guys!

I was working on the assumption i'd be paying around $2-3k for a stagea 25. Hence why I was like i can grab a rwd RB25 cheap as n have the tools n drill to actually easily modify the sump piece of piss =P But if i can grab a RB25DET out of a stagea, even if auto n convert n knock that in from just crap or something that would b sweet @ the prices u guys r talking! - If stagea 25 cheap enough n preferably manual (bit of a b!tch to find) il get that obviously. but if they're all autos everywhere n no manual boxes and neo's il prob just mod the AWD RB20 sump as ive found out it's only the sump studs, so for me it's cheap as n quick to do as well =P

Thanks again guys, have a tip top weekend!

Sounds like the easiest way is to use the stagea awd rb25

There is a turbo one on ebay for sale for a while for $1150. They do not get much cheaper than that. :P

cheers for the heads up mate. But i never do Ebay for stuff like that =P

i know this is an old thread but i am thinking of doing the same thing, rb25det RWD motor into an r32gts-4..

what ended up happening (topic starter)? can u modify the sump etc?? could u use an rb26dett sump?? or find an rb25det (stag motor) and use the sump off it?

guys?

You can use an adaptor, this seems to cost money, but to me I'd rather build from a bare all wheel drive block, wheich may well proce out at less than adaptor prices. Intuitively, I think engineering is better without an adaptor, but RB30/25 into awd this is the only way. I like KISS principle.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
