rb26dett in a 240sx

[b18cya-T]

how much poon do you think i'd get with a setup like that?

[TXKompressor]

about 700hp worth...

Yeah baby do I make you horny?

[JDX]

Oh man, don't even be mentioning that kind of shit... I was |--| that close to actually doin' that, it costs about 5Ks for a GT-R front clip from an R34 (If you get it from the right peeps) and I bought a shitty 240SX for 300 bucks... I was all ready to do it and everything and then the money that I was supposed to get from family, fell thru so I would've ran a few grand short, I ended up tryin' to sell the car but my friend Wes talked me into givin' it to him... Now I'm stuck with this piece'o'junk Vu :(

They do this all the time in Japan. In one Sport Compact Car they had a rb26dett powered s14 for sale for like 14,000.

Awwwww... I disagree, I was goin' to put mine in a S13, and yes I checked, IT WILL FIT... But it has to be a 91+ S13, the 89 and 90's have a different configuration. The S13's and S15's which considerably less than the 14 and easier to tune suspension on also

Hell if they can put the RB26Dett into the AE86 then you can fit it in the S14, S13

[TXKompressor]

well well well, here you go, get it swap and let everyone eat your exhaust...

It would be hard as shit to do, but if they can fit rb20det's than a rb26 should fit with dome serious firewall banging. The 89-90 have the same engine mounts and length. What do you mean an s15 is cheaper than the s14. Get an old Z they bolt right in.

[turboholic]

The twins on the rb26dett have to be moved or a single turbo conversion is necessary to put it in an s13. The rb25det a more reasonable idea, If you buy the whole front clip you just swap the subframes and it bolts in. Found a front clip for 2g's. Only problem with those engines are if you break anything its gonna be weeks before you can get a replacement part and how much is that part gonna cost you. 280 horses with a single t25 turbo, these engines have great potential.

Just sold my 240 and bought a crx.

[Violator]

it will be going in a 97-98 240sx. i like that body style more.

[b18cya-T]

whoops, that was me!!!^^^

[turboholic]

who dosent like that style better. most just cant afford the price.

now why did you do that?

[turboholic]

I want a 12 second car and it didnt seem possible in my 240. 240 was completely stock with some body damage. Crx has wings west body kit, h&r springs, sohc vtec engine, je forged pistons still in box and a set of brembo rotors. I sold my 240 for a 1000 and bought the crx for a 1000. The bodykit and springs have less than a 50 miles on them. Oh yeah and it has about a 500 dollars exhaust. 3inch all the way back with a 3 inch racecat and some loud ass muffler, too loud. But the setup will work good when turbocharged. Still dont know if it was a good decision.

[turboholic]

name one sr20 with stock turbo that runs a twelve at denver elevation. I think its easier to run a 12 in a crx at our elevation.
Therefore it would be an 11 at sea level. Now name a stock turbo sr20 running 11s at sea level.

Therefore it would be an 11 at sea level. Now name a stock turbo sr20 running 11s at sea level. The stock turbo is super restrictive and can't boost ove 12 psi. A 240sx only requires about 275hp to turn 11's. That can be done on top of the sr20 for about 1000 dolars. I was talking in terms of cost. To run 12's up here you would need a new engine and to turbo it. With an sr20 you just need the engine. Granted the sr20 costs more then say a b16, you don't need to turbo it. Here is a turbo kit being produced by a company. List is 2700, which is highway robbery. Getting 400hp out of an sr20 isn't that hard, becaue you don't have to build the internals. www.enjukuracing.com/images/393hpkit.jpg See the kit here.Click (http://www.sr20detperformance.com/)

[GimPin]

plz post website or proof a 240sx can ran 11's with 275 horse. I read on the 240 forums everyday and that is pure bs.

[turboholic]

doh, posted under wrong name.

[1998cc]

Derek Greaser on freshalloy.com ran a 12.2 with about 250 horsepower. 300hp should be plenty to run 11's. There are plenty of people making this kind of horsepower or more. Guys in Japan and Australia have been doing it for years.

[Md95Ls]

12.2 at what elevation? Here in Colorado probably mid to high 13's

[b18cya-T]

the altitude only affects n/a cars by about a second. turbo cars even less

[b18cya-T]

seriously tho...i want to pop tho hood & have the engine say SKYLINE on it!

[turboholic]

you should have posted "no i cant find anyone who runs 275 horses with a sr20 that runs 11's especially at our altitude."

[1998cc]

How many sr20's are there in colorado. I believe there are only 2.

[Md95Ls]

I know of two alone in Colorado Springs.

[phil]

not to sound like a noobie, but i was looking throught this thread and alot of people are talking about s13's, s14's and s15's. I know what a 240sx is, but is the s13, 14, and 15 just different versions of the 240sx or am i way off?

also where can i find out more info on these cars? the only thing that comes back from a search is skylines.

[Maverick]

S13, S14, S15 refer to the generations of the car..........just like a honda. EF, EG, EK, EP

The RB26 fits in the S chassis without banging or modification to the radiator support, it has been done multiple times in Australia and there is an S14 in the Midwest with an RB26 resting in the engine bay right now (hand full of RB25(same block) S13's and S14's around the US as well). The swap isn't as impossible as everyone thinks, it just requires common sense which counts the majority of import enthusiasts out.

[stu]

I think when you are talking about the "import enthusiasts" that you are reffering to, the whole idea of an engine swap is out. Washer nozzel swaps are okay though.

nice...

that is the most comforting thing i've heard in this thread


you just watch...within three years i'll have an s-14b w/ an rb26dett in it :)

And a lot of loans to pay back.

heh, its only money...& i can always sell myself to beautiful rich women :D

There was a guy up north, in Boulder I believe, who was talking about doing an RB swap in his buddy’s car. I don’t know if they have started, sourced parts or what. There is also a shop in the Springs that has an S14 with an RB sitting in it, I personally haven’t seen it but my friends went and looked at it and from their description its either an RB20 or RB25.

One other thing to note is that an RB26 in a S14 is an extremely pricey endeavor, especially if you don’t have hook-ups or people that can get you exactly what you need. All said an done, a quality swap plus suspension, tires and wheels to take advantage of the motor will cost you fairly close to what you could have bought an R32 for...

[MichaelT]

There is a shitload of skylines on Ebay right now.

[1998cc]

I would never swap in a rb26 into a road going 240. That extra weight up front would take away from what makes the 240 truly great. The awesome handling. I know a lot of drifters swap in the rb20, so I don't know.

When UH finished their first RB20 the then part company owner commented that the handling wasn't that different from the stock auto KA setup, only a hint more understeer. This was on stock suspension too.

[1998cc]

A stock ka with tranny weighs around 500 pounds. I wonder how much the rb26 or rb20 weigh.

[bossalini]

hey guys jut have a read thro tha fourm i run a s13 wit a ca18det puttin out just over 300hp it runs 11.2 un tuned, so has anyone at all on here put a rb26tt in a 89 s13? if so, was there many problems.........

[Canuck]

I would recomend the RB25 over the 26. I almost did this before I bout the RX7. The RB26 is more expensive and heavier. The RB25 will keep you a lot closer to the 50/50 weight ratio, and will save you some money which you can through into mods. You can have a lot faster rb25 for the money it would take for a RB26.

I work for Joule down here in the springs...We just finished an rb25 in an s13. I did the fabrication work to make it all fit (minus the drive shaft) It was not too bad. I got to drive the car for about 3 hours after we finished it, and it is very driveable. Some of the draw backs are that the speedo will NEVER be right, and the tach in the dash is incorrect because it is designed for a 4cyl distributor car. You can get a tach to work using an msd tach adapter, with an aftermarket tach.

The rb26 will also fit, but remember that the front dif is part of the oil pan. To make it a AWD setup, it would take some serious work, and would end up being a money pit. You can remove the dif, but you will need an rb25 oil pan (i believe) but for the money your going to spend, the 25 is a much better choice (in my opinion)

I personally have done 2 sr20 swaps, and im in the process of doing 2 more. Im pretty familliar with the rb and sr swaps, and I would say that i liked the rb swap more than the sr (after the work was completed) but doing the work, the SR was much easier to do, and took alot less time...

Oh that looks nice. Did you fabricate your own mounts or use the skyline crossmemember? She just needs anew intake manifold.

Both... i fabricatred the rear tranny mount, and the front cross member was modified to lower the engine in the engine compartment about an inch. The clearance with the hood was almost perfect. we had to cut 1 small hole in the hood support...Ended up being a nice swap

How much would you charge for a swap like that, maybe I meed to get a s14

I am not sure on the price. I know that we charge 3800 to purchase and install a redtop engine into a 13 chassis. I believe we charged an additional 300$ for the rb swap, but dont quote me on that....

Is this just parts? Or a whole car? If it's just the parts, I'd say "No, that is a horrible deal."

What chassis too. I'd have to agree with stu here.

thats cool i have some of that....but i dont know what i dyno in at, im at 18psi, 550cc injectors, costum intake manifold, intercooler, bov, t3t04e 3'' catback,hks downpipe, safc 2, avc-r..and like intake little stuff like that......

[Rb26Dett]

That is just parts and installation into car plus they dyno it for you while your there

[pierced&studded]

how much boost you runnin

[CO S13]

I would reccomend getting a list of how much each part will cost because it sounds like a rip off. You can get parts off the internet for really cheap....

[urbanrcr]

Awwwww... I disagree, I was goin' to put mine in a S13, and yes I checked, IT WILL FIT... But it has to be a 91+ S13, the 89 and 90's have a different configuration. The S13's and S15's which considerably less than the 14 and easier to tune suspension on also


I have a s13 and a s14 with a rb26dett swap both work great.

ITS NOT THAT HARD I DID MINE IN A WEEKEND BUT I HAD A LIFT AND SHOP TIME.BUT IM MAKING 958HP TO THE RW'S IT WAS WORTH THE BLOOD BECAUSE I HAD A RX7 WITH A 20B SWAP AND MY 240 IS ALOT MORE FUN TO PULL UP TO A SUPRA OR PORSCHE AND SMOKE EM.
