Put Gtr34 Engine In

[chrisbuzz]

Hi Guys,

I had an Idea<---May be a stupid idea.

Put the GTR34 engine with 6 speeds gear in to Stagea RS4S.

Is it possable?

OR

Did someone did it already??

Thanks

Of course it's possible.

Do it.

[chrisbuzz]

Any idea How much will it cost?

[Ben C34]

No.

Figure that out yourself.

Is this something you are considering or just a pipe dream?

Over here the 260RS are to be had for about $16000 these days so now cheaper than a conversion...and you could add a six speed box if you really want.

I decided to go rear wheel drive in my RS4.

[chrisbuzz]

No.

Yes I am starting to plan it.

So would like to get more opinions from u guys.

It's been done before, I'm sure. Have a search on here, I know at least one person has looked into it before. From memory the R34 6speed needs a custom length tailshaft made up, and there might be a bit more custom work.

You would also want to get hold of an R34 GTR rear diff.

Why? RB30 will shit all over it every day of the week. If you are going to pull an engine you might as well put in something that will perform noticeably better than an RB25.

Agreed, I would build a 30 bottom end, and slap a Neo head on it.

Gearbox mounts will be different - prop shaft will need work - you will need the ECU AND internal wiring loom that plugs into ECU , and the under bonnet wiring loom from R34 GTR as there are pin differences ! , the ECU from 34GTR will not fit Stagea ECU plug , GTR is blue plug and Stagea grey - you will need a bigger fuel pump - AND YOU WILL NEED BETTER BRAKES !!! MY GTR BRAKES WITH PROJECTMU PADS ARE STILL NOT ENOUGH !!

Here in UK we have a V8 Stagea - a 2.8 HKS stroker and a stock gearboxed 500BHP RB25DET - + some Autec`s

Its all been done before XCEPT 6 speed as far as i know ...

[scotty nm35]

The 6 speed is easy, but why would you want to get rid of VCT? You need every bit of response you can get in these heavy wagons. The RB25neo is a better engine overall.

Thank you very much!

Big project...A lot of work need to do, if put the GTR engine in stagea.

I though just change the engine and Gearbox + some more.

Did you mean Rb25neo change the 5 speed greabox to 6 speed??

[Ben C34]

What's the fascination with 6 gears?

Spend money on the car making it fast.

Not having an extra gear.

[scotty nm35]

Once you get masses of power and torque there is no need for more gears. The torque will push it just fine, you just change less often.

[Ben C34]

BUT...... GTR .......

People would be heaps impressed. What's more important?

^^^^^^^ lol ^^^^^^^ street cred points add 10ths of a second!!! Yep 25 neo over 26 any day and a 25neo/30 over that

[rasored]

RB owners will not be impressed with the fitting of a 26 in a stagea ! , as stated the NEO25 is a far superior engine when tuned - fitting twin turbo`s and a 6 speed gearbox is worth a silent nod !

a rear wheel drive stagea with over 250whp that can be driven in the wet and not crashed would also be impressive
