I have an S13 240sx usdm and i think im going to go SR20det but im thinkin of making an RB26dett s14 or s15 240sx after this. i know its kinda expensive but it can be done using the RB25det tranny but i love AWD. do any of you know the major things i would have to custom fab in order to make the 240 awd? its obvious ill need spindels for the front wheels so could i mount some gtr spindels or will they not fit? any info would be awsome. thanks fellas.

RB25 tranny awd??

suggest more research..

GTR uses double wishbone style front end whilst S14/15 uses macpherson struts for starters.

You would need the RB26GTR tranny, a lot of time , patience and money to achieve what? I would suggest it is not impossible, just not economically viable. It would probably be cheaper to pay Motorex for a GTR..

BTw, is it school holidays atm in America??

Cheers

i know rb25 tranny is rwd and thats why people do rb26 swap with rb25 tranny. that was my major point. im achieving somthing that you would only get from a DSM in america. yeah you could do it with a subaru but in the end you still have a subaru. this car will not be aimed at anything with "economy" in the title so i wont care about money and time. ive seem one or two for sale that claimed to be awd but couldnt ever get info from them about it.

and unfortunately, holidays just ended .... sniff sniff

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
