rb26 into r33 gts25t

[217/r33]

hey guys.

I was just wondering what would be needed to do the conversion to rb26 as im looking into doing it after the new year.

- is the gear box connection the same?

- engine mounting/connection are the same as rb25?

- what will be done with the drive shafts if the rb26?

and how much would this conversion cost if i was to do it my self?

Thanks in advance

mmmmmmmmmm better of getting a half cut.

or else

rb26det = 5-6k

turbo x 2 or 1 big turbo = depends what you get?

labour = $60/hr

computer - 1k

filters x 2

you be looking over 10k easy

Doing it yourself... no more than 6k tops if you do it yourself as you say

it would be far from 10k.

Then you sell your old motor/loom you rip out

All you need is the Complete Motor with loom & ECU.

And you'll need a set of dump pipes (if you dont get em) and then just match to your existing exhaust

You could certainly get it done for less than 6k without a doubt if you sell your old motor too

Just change all the belts and stuff before you put it in.

The gearbox you have in your R33 will be fine, so driveshafts and stuff certainly dont need changing. Engine i beleive bolts up to exisiting mounts. The Joy of Nissan RB's, pretty much interchangeable

what about the drive shafts at the botum of the motor will they get in the way?

thnx

why would you need them if your putting it into a RWD car?

[BU5TER]

I think what he means is what do you do with them hahaha

They are removed and you can either plate and weld up the drive shaft holes or get a new sump to suit without the holes

Thanks for all the help

just one more quick question.. will the air con/power stearing and things like ur car heater pipes be deferent or they are a straight fit?

thnx
