mr Eps, I assume you don't live in melbourne, where you have your car inspected only once and never again for as long as its in your name, unless the police ask you to.

Its a common swap, and done because those engines are readily availble in those countries, unlike the RB (the closest they get to an RB is the RB20E which is an SOHC 2.0L N/A and the RB24S which is an inline 6 carby engine). With this in mind, its easier to do an RB25 or RB26DETT swap in a cef, however the 1JZ and 2JZ swaps are doable.

You'd best be asking on a thai ceffy forum like http://www.cefiro-thailand.com

Thankyou :rofl:

The car would be engineerable (is that a word ?) wouldnt it ? I assumed it would be the same as putting an RB25 in.

well im from perth and to the best of my knowledge (correct me if i'm wrong please) but i think it's un-engineerable (is THAT a word?) to have trans build engines in

like you can't put a lada niva motor into a mitsubishi lancer,

nor can you put an engine in that is older than the car's build date

ie: V35 skyline can't have an RB transplant etc,

over here you can put any engine into another as long as it meets ADRs, then an engineer will have to sign off on it to certify that the swap is legal. Usually costs about $500 - $800 to get done. Once that's done then the car is legal with that engine.

The other way that most people do it is rego the car with the engine its supposed to have in it, then do the swap. Engine swaps aren't a roadworthy issue, so the roadworthy shops won't care. It is illegal, but it happens a lot in VIC. The only time you can get caught out is if you have a cop go through your car, or you go to resell it and it needs to go through the registration process again.

Removing the Toyota markings from the surface, whos to know its a Toyota motor at the pits? I think is definately doable....

if you guys remember that Ferrari Enzo kitted 180sx that was on the J-Spec mailing list, it was bought by a guy in Syd who was gonna put a worked 2jz (out of his old silvia) in it.

    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
    • Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)
    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
