RB26 Transplant into R33 GTS-T questions

[RB26VL]

hey guys i got a rb26 in my VL atm which i want to put into a r33 gts-t (4 door maybe) and i am gonna use the rb26 engine, rb25 box, 044 fuel pump, gtr cooler, autronics ecu, etc.

so i need some answers...

can i still run the climate control with the rb26 installed and autronics ecu???

tailshaft from the gts-t will fit perfectly won't it???

will a GTR throttle cable fit perfectly???

will the 044 fuel pump be simple to install???? (its an external one is that ok???)

will the rb25 power steering pump bolt str8 onto the rb26????

will the rb25 air con bolt str8 onto the rb26 or can i use the rb26 one if it doesnt fit???

anymore little things i need to know???

hopefully someone can help before i start the conversion so i know exactly whats to be done and the hassles involved

thanks alot guys

Yes

Yes

R33 GTR, yes

will the 044 fuel pump be simple to install???? (its an external one is that ok???)

You can use an 044 in tank, a bit tricky to fit in the brackets, but works fine. You can run it external, in series with the standard pump if you want. Either way you will need a relay, the standard wiring harness won't handle the extra current.

will the rb25 power steering pump bolt str8 onto the rb26????

Yes

will the rb25 air con bolt str8 onto the rb26 or can i use the rb26 one if it doesnt fit???

Yes

What are you doing about the wiring harness for the Autronic?

Hope that helps :burnout:

hey sydneykid cheers for the help mate, well i got the harness from the vl engine bay for the autronics so i just run the wiring through firewall and plug into autronics ecu, and connect power, earth, etc

will the rb25 air con bolt str8 onto the rb26 or can i use the rb26 one if it doesnt fit???  

Yes

Yes to which one???

also how do i go about connecting the relay for the external 044 pump??? which wires do i need, and what do i need ?

cheers again

Hi Brad, the answer to both is "Yes", it doesn't matter they are the same. If you don't know how to connect a relay, I suggest a trip to your local auto electrician.

If you are game, a relay has 4 connections. The "input" to turn it on, the "earth" to well earth it, the "supply" from the battery, the "output" to the pump. The "input" is connected to the + wire that goes to the standard pump.

The "earth" is connected to the chassis.

The "supply" is connected to the + on the battery.

The "output" is connected to + on the pump

The - on the pump is connect to the chasis.

When you buy a relay they come wiht simple woring diagrams to tell you which terminal is "input", which is "output" etc.

Hope that helps some more
