Hi guys

Looking to swap the engine on my 350gt.

 

I would absolutely love to swap an RB into it... or maybe a barra ! I know an LS swap would be the best and easiest out there but I'm not looking for that. I'm looking for something a little unique and cool like a barra or rb.

What are your guys thoughts on this ? I know the rb swap has been done before not sure about the barra. 

Would love some ideas/inspiration on this project. 

Cheers

Would like to have it on the road one day.

Sigh. What jurisdiction would you be wanting to register it in?

Aware that ADRs and state rego authorities make it quite difficult to register an engine transplant to an older engine than the car?

 

My vote? Mercedes V12.

Always a great plan to not choose the logical option.spend heaps more cash for a worse result. But at least you will be different!!!!!

You "may" be able to register a late model RB engine into a 350GT, last R34 was 2002, 350GT from 2002 ????, so maybe, but why, there is much newer, better, lighter and cheaper bang for buck stuff out now

LS3

You will need to engage an engineer first before even starting, no point in doing it if the engineer won't sign off on the "swap kit" or mods you want

Want different, throw in one of those new 5.2 BOSS engines in from the Mustang, those things sound wicked

VK56 if you want to stay loyal.. but a very tight squeeze and will be outperformed by an LS..
I like the idea of something different, but you will need deep pockets to be a trail blazer..  Depends what your goal is I guess.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
