So thinking to put a rb26 on a rb20de. I think the bore and centres are the same, but i don't think bolt sizes are and the valves won't like the smaller bore.

At the end of the day, do you think its worth it? and why?

Thanks.

Well, it can be modded to fit, the topic isn't to be told what i shouldn't do. I plan on keeping my NA off my P's and keep it as a daily driver untill i get sick of it, and the idea of 140-150KW RB NA sounds good to me.

Just want to be different.

How do you intend to get this sort of power?

The RB20 is a much smaller bore than the RB26. So the combustion chamber of a RB26 is considerably larger than the RB20's. The piston at TDC will be like a dick-in-a-bucket fit into the chamber. The thing will have such low compression that you might be lucky to even start the engine.

And the RB25 bore is the same as the 26.

a 140-150kw would make an ordinary daily driver. a stock or mildly modded turbo skyline would be a better daily driver.

You do realise it is a modified motor, and therefore illegal - be it N/A or turbo makes no difference.

mohsen don't encourge him... this is why i hang out here to prevent stuff like this from happening. read up on gregs thread with the rb30 bitten end with a 26 head. thats the ultimate rb skyline natro you can make.... and as a daily i duno if you'd really enjoy driving round in a camed up natro just for the daily grind.

if you wana do.it do it, but its a lot of $'s for the sake of being different.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
