rep003 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 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) Bart for crazyimports.com & Steve from Maytech & here's the pics GTS26tt Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70472-gts26tt-d/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70472-gts26tt-d/#findComment-1301516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnblight Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 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.

rep003 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 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!!!
