Xr6T Motor Into An R33

[driftpigr33]

Hey all wondering if anyone has done it? I've got a motor laying around and just found a straight r33 with no motor but no body damage. Has anyone actually done it or know what a rough conversion cost not including motor box and exhaust?

[Shoota_77]

I've always thought this would be an amazing conversion. Insanely good engine.

Huge amount of work though, predominantly in getting the sump right.

One positive is that they both have an alloy sump so grafting one to the other is theoretically possible.

Huge amount of work though presumably.....

Just do it and we'll all know!

I've recently stepped out of a 400rwkw xr6 into a near stock skyline and still have the motor and after driving a skyline and enjoying things like the handling would love to combine both world

You like the handling, but what is the weight difference between the ford engine and the RB, and how much further will it stick out past the front wheels?

[bish33]

Not sure on how difficult it is but has been done. Just google it and there's a 1000hp xr6t 33 on YouTube bud

The Barra motor is all alloy isn't it? If so, it would almost b the same weight as the cast iron rb

The RB is 15 kgs heavier than the xr motor. That is comparing long engines.

The turbo is on the most difficult side, would need a little bit of work around the steering. The engine would definitely be a good dropin for a supra.

I don't agree with this conversion lol.

One of The RBs newest rival on the street.

They are good motor though.seen a 9 or 8 second VL with one of these Barra motors in it

[Barra 33]

Is this completed?

Barra-Zilla?

Does have a ring to it but personally I like the RB26DETT more as it has more low end torque she sounds much better too.

[r32-25t]

There is no way an rb26 has more low end torque then a Barra 

[admS15]

Barra 530nm + @ 2000rpm

 

RB26 <200nm @ 2000 rpm

 

The RB does sing a beautiful song though

Barra, the engine that toppled the king of Aussie 6's... the Holden 202 bluey

[Missileman]

The 250 with V2 iron crossflow head was a nice motor,.

People say the RB26 looks like a matchbox partially tilted sideways and doesn’t look to powerful compared to larger Ford and Holden engines but there’s something about it that I just adore and love!

RB26 has so much torque, like -180nm at 2000rpm than a Golf R
