Stock Part Swap

[B-Turbo]

I am curious. I can't seem to find much information that is reliable.

What parts from a stock R32 GTR Rb26 can swap to a Rb20 motor?

Like can I take stock rb26 exhaust manifolds and make my rb20 twin turbo?

I'm still trying to learn a lot aboot these motors.

Thanks everyone,

Your specific question about the exhaust manifolds has the answer "No".

As to the value or point of swapping ANYTHING from a 26 to a 20........there is little to none with just about any part, so not worth considering.

[iruvyouskyrine]

26 cams are the only thing you may consider swapping. Even then I personally wouldn't do it.

Nothing else from a standard 26 would give any performance benefit really as gtsboy said. Maybe 26 cam covers is you are having blowby issues.

just swap the entire RB26DETT into your R32... then again, better off with a RB25DET NEO

RB20 needs an M62 sized supercharger bolted onto side where air-con compressor lives. This should exhaust into the inlet of a GT35 sized turbo. Add 4" exhaust, large injectors, good ECU and fry tyres.

Or just LS swap it

or to put it another way, the RB20 has limitations so enjoy it for what it is. When finished swap out/trade up to an RB25/26 which also have limitations but you will find it much harder and heaps more fun to explore them.

As above. I found my mates RB20 powered R32 to be pretty fun because of the way it delivered the power. It had a different turbo, I don't think he ever found out what it was or I don't remember what it was, but wasn't much more powerful then stock.

Build a 25 or 26 etc on the side with everything you want on it, drive the RB20 in the meantime. Pull it off the road, swap engine, and away you go again. Less time off the road, and less time mucking around with the RB20 by trying to throw RB26 parts on it lol

If you feel like wasting money modifying it to fit then yes as the bolt orientation is different at Cyl 3 and 4 or so

And good luck spooling up 2x dinosaur turbos with a RB20

Lol I wouldn't want to make it twin turbo. I really just don't know much aboot the RB motors.

If I can get a Rb25 or 26 I might just do a swap but in the mean time I do plan on making some changes. My GTS-T is bone stock at the moment.

Spend ALL your money on suspension and brakes.

^ Agreed.

First up give the car a full service. So change ALL oils/fluids from motor to diff.

Then do suspension/brakes/tyres and get a basic tune at some point, big more boost/power and have fun.

Then save up and do a RB25 motor/gearbox swap later on when funding allows (7k conversion minimum as you would change the turbo at the same time)

This IS my plan first lol. I am already building a list and have a site with a cart full of suspension parts. I do want to do an exhaust in the mean time. The stock one is fugly and rusting away.
