A mate of mine wants to buy my old R32 GTR Engine.

Ive heard that an RB25 Gearbox bolts up to a GTR Engine & Also bolts up to an SR20.

So does this mean that his SR20 Box will bolt up to the GTR Engine??

Anyone know about this?

Thanx

Should do, maybe with some mod.

The S14 Gearbox is quite strong. Much nicer than the S15 one. A number of people have changed thier S15 boxes to the S14, although you loose the gear, you gain strength.

Dunno how it would go with the added torque of an RB26 though. But good boxes for thier money

It would be a waste of time due to the cost and time involved in making an adapter as they do not bolt staright up just as the RB25 box does not bolt up to the SR as it also needs an adapter. It wouldn't last long behind a RB26 anyway. Just use a RB25 5 speed.

Thanks for the insight guys. Just wondering what the best option was. He is thinking about the RB26 In an S14 200SX. Adapter plates and so forth would be a piece of piss but I figured that it wouldn't be strong enough.

Cheers,

Rhys

So what do S14 drivers upgrade to when they get big power behind the SR20s??? I thought they kept the same box... so I would have thought it would have been fine unless he went insane on the engine and took it past what you could do to an SR.

People with big power SR's quite often run a RB25DET box with a modified bellhousing.

A GTR gearbox with the transfer case "removed" will fit into the S14 tunnel with only slight mods. :rofl:

The RB25 box is basically that. As far as I am aware, the RB25 box has the same internals as the GTR box, just without the transfer case...

Jeff.

yeah, people charge upto $300 less ive found for a GTR box as opposed to an RB25 one.

that said, shopping around can net you either at a cheap price if you are patient.

I laneded my 25 box for $1300 and that included the whole tailshaft etc

Maybe different in NZ.. I can pickup a R32 GTR box for under $1000. A 25T box is $1500-$2000.

The box I am running in my Silvia was a RB26 box that had been in an accident and had a hole in the transfer case... so I got it even cheaper.

Just had to cut the side off it and weld it up.

Sounds like it would be cheaper to import an RB26 box from NZ than to buy local.

SR20 bellhousing WILL NOT fit RB26. The SR boxes start to have difficulty around 260rwkw, depending on how you drive.

RB25 boxes do fit on to S14, with modified tailshaft, shifter and differnet cross member (sr20 auto cross member from memory). Also, you may have to modify the tunnel slightly.

D1 garage would be able to provide the bits as they do full convedrsions, ie, rb gearbox to SR20.

Thanks for the info.

We can do all the mods and conversions ourselves. I was just wondering whether or not is would bolt straight up or if it required modding. We will settle with a RB25 box just wondering if it was worth running the SR for a bit but I don't think it will be worth it.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
