Thats right , my R33 4 auto 4 door now totes an RB26dett :flamed:

Its been a long 12 months since the demise of the 1st 25 , with only a brief (4000 kms ) stint with a forgied 25 ( this is a long , costly & painfull story that I will leave to my Lawyers!) all of which lead me to , with a little help from that zoom article , putting an Rb26 into the 4 door.

Basicly , I was able to fit the 26 into the 25's hole by using the 25 engine mounts & just turning the drivers side 1 around 180 degrees.Then shorten the throttle cable , add a GTR radiator top hose & ta da!

I have retained to 25s engine loom so I can keep the Wolf ecu that alows me to run the auto , we just had to change the injector plugs to Bosch ones & change the function of the 25s VVT switch to now be the air temp sensor :)

Although , with the help of Wolf tech support , I am able to use the 26 Cam Angle sensor & change the way the map reads to Ref & Sync. (instead of the modified 25 cas , used for dual point sensing) which has made Cold starts much more reliable.

The 26 is out of an R33 GTR with 51 000ks on it , stock internals & injectors , & the only mods are GReddy adjustable cam gears.

The GTR turbs were rebuilt using T28 (SR20) zorst wheels & housings because they are Steel , & much bigger!

The auto remains stock ( bigger trans cooler coming) but using Redline Racing ATF

which has practically removed any "slip" on the now quite abrubt Gear changes :aroused:

The end result..........376.9rwhp with boost spikes to 20psi before settling to 18psi

& I am bloody happy with that!

The real test will be Drag combat on the 23rd of April so...fingers crossed no :Bang:

Thanks heaps To George & Sean from Adrenaline ( experience counts)

Well done Rep and good to see you using the local boys down there.

I know that Peter Blight has nothing but good things to say about George and his patience with getting it right.

Ohh and Maytech, who who get a lot more business if he realised most peoples working days are 8 till 5 , not 5 till 2 in the morning . lol :)

Dare I ask who the lawyer involves or is it probably someone I already know? :)

Cheers

nice man. Do u mind if i ask wat sort of figures this conversion cost?? I've been thinking about what i'd do if my engine cooked and just wanna know if its a viable option.

Congrats on the figures dude, bet you're stoked!!

I'm trying hard NOT to think about it dude ....

But I think 10k would cover it for a straight engine change ( including the engine that is)

It starts to add up when you go for Modded turbs , Split gate dumps Custom Intakes etc...trust me

Cheers

Yeah nice work troy and good to see it all up and running nicely. It was a nice job Sean and george did on the blue rocket.

So the million dollar question what your guess on ET and MPH for DC.

Plus it will be good to have a couple of the buno boys at DC.

Thanx Pete ,

As for ET & MPH , I'd settle for 12.5 @ 115..... as long as its better than my last run :) (except this is in street trim = No Nos)

I'm not sure quite how bad I want to beat up on it , but lets face it , by the end of the day I'll probably be Stalling it up against the handbrake!!!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
