R32 Conversion To 4.0L Xr6 Turbo Motor

[pink32]

any1 done it one here i know its possible ....just wanna know any problems they had doing the conversion?

[ARTZ]

I hear the last guy that tried it was nailed to a cross with a crown of thorns on his head

If you can put a LS1 in to a skyline im shore a XR6T can go in with time and money.

[r32-25t]

Someone has done it on a 33 already, so I'm sure you could do a 32 as well

ls1 would go in easier than a ford straight 6 (v8 is shorter and lower and lighter). as i said in the other thread the OP started asking this, issue would be with the height of the motor and the weight (they are an iron block, not alloy, although the head is alloy), and possibly the length. but if it's a track car then you can easily overcome the size issues with a bit of creative panel beating, but it may still handle like a bucket of crap because of the weight.

RB26 weighs in at around 180kgs bare, the Barra engine around 175kgs bare.

Ancillaries would be similar weight.

RBs are iron block, so that's a moot point.

Block height difference might be a bit, but even if it's 40mm, that' be pretty easy to overcome with engine mounts and/or a bulge in the bonnet.

I reckon a 4Lt in a 32 would be a f**king weapon.

Mate check out Turbowerx they have one in there R33 GTS and they have one in a VL Commodore. They would be the people to talk to. There cars are easy to find on youtube.

Going to be a tight fit i reckon

[Risking]

It's not a bad fit.

Height is a slight issue but nothing major, if using an FG rear sump engine it will require modifications.

I've got one in an r32 gtst and an r34 GTT.

Also developing a 4 bolt main sump/diff for an awd conversion.

Does want

[mad082]

Does want

+1

[r32-25t]

+2

[Risking]

We figured it'd be a wanted component.

Weve been playing with FG and BF engines for a while now. Have a dry dumped FG engine going into an r34 and also another BA engine going into an r32 GTsT for track school shortly.

The awd sump is a work in progress but very possible

[r32-25t]

What gearbox would you be using? And how would you make it all work correctly?

[Risking]

I'll use a WRX gearbox and hope for the best..........

That's sarcastic by the way....

I LOLed.

This is what happened the last time someone tried to run 1000nm of twist through a WRX box.

I was thinking about buying one of these set ups from you, but seeing as my honest questions get bullshit answers I won't bother

[Risking]

Well you have to admit it was a kinda of obvious question, wasn't it??

My reply wasn't intended to offend.

It has to retain a GTR gearbox.

As for how I'll make it work properly, that's what I do for a living, it's all custom fabrication.
