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!!!

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
