was that using a 26 intake ??

I was trying to avoid spacing the subframe down so as not to effect my roll centre

I can't see how you would fit a 26/30 combo into an r32 of any kind unless you used an rb26 style front-facing plenum (or why you'd want to run anything but the front-facing plenum).

With the GTRs, the main issue that affects the engine mounts is having enough clearance between the big alloy sump and the power steering lines.

I imagine that in rear wheel drive configuration, the fact that your sump is a bit of tin could make it possible to mod the sump to allow more X-member clearance, and mod the mounts to drop the motor.

In terms of the timing belt cover clearance issue, apparently there is some way of fitting the rb25 cam covers and timing belt cover to the rb26 head etc, that gives more clearance.

Once that's done, there's the issue of the twin turbo turbo collector pipe. I got a bit of clearance by grinding off the alloy mounting boss, but still needed to run 20mm spacers in my bonnet hinges.

or just custom make the mounts so the sump is as low as it can sit on the steering colum then work out if you still need to cut the bonnet.

my Rb2630 went into the s14 with no bonnet/ hinges mods. it has a dry sump on it and the sump is 4mm off hitting the steering colum,

and we had to solid mount the motor to ensure no twisting..

Thanks but i have a gtr bonnet already. Im going to look at running fd mazda rx7 mounts as they lower the engine

Just use the R32GTSt (RB20DET) engine mounts and redrill the holes lower as per the pdf guide, that should get rid of most of the clearance issues and all that might need attention is the "twinturbo" pipe.

    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
