I measured up a series 8 a couple of weeks ago for an rb30/26 conversion.

After we spent a couple of hours going over what was required the owner decided to settle for a 20b instead.

The list of parts to be custom made was massive and very labour intensive.

Are you capable of doing alot yourself?

[Offtap33]

Really? Damn it, I was gonna get someone else to do it I want it to be perfect look amazing got a couple of people interested in wanting to do it but they havnt done it before, what was some of the custom parts? Im a mechanical engineering fitter so I work 6 days a week so not much time ether, I've got 7k budget after buying the gearbox,rb26,custom rear whell drive sump ect. Hope it's not for nothing

Why don't you do a LS1 mate?

Cheaper and you can buy an over the counter kit from the US for a full installation. I know someone who did it and it was flawless and you can DIY it basically as it's a full installation kit. By the time you sell all your bits + the 7k you already have - you'd EASILY have thick wad of spare change.

Lighter motor, will make 260-280rwkw with a big cam and the stock ECU can be tuned easily... Can't argue the viability in the value factor and it's a fairly rare conversion still

That's true to ^^ and would sound awesome!! Haha mite have to look at that to, I was gonna go RB cause Ive had them most of my life haha, what's your thoughts or 2jz? I can buy over the counter kit for them to but they don't look as good RB

Ask any racer, any real racer

If your going to do a big 6 cyl conversion why not look at measuring the car up for a barra xr6 turbo.

Exhaust is already on the correct side, engine bay is long enough.

Sumps come in front or rear pan (BA/BF or FG) any aftermarket ecu can run one, parts are cheap and the engines are reliable/Grunty.

The major issue you have is engine height, the rx7 lacks depth which was the major concern with the rb26. 2jz and barra will be worse which is why the ls1-ls7 is actually a good idea.

[Offtap33]

^^^ that makes a heap of sense,arrrr decisions just wish the 26 would fit that way already have the engine ect so be a lot easier for me haha

Put the 26 in a old mustang. Dom and his boys have done it. Thing drifts awesome.

Dom is crazy! he lives his life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not his team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, his free.
