sky031, i don't see what's so disturbing about being a mechanic and not knowing what parts are interchangeable or knowing how much work is involved in an engine transplant.
i work for peugeot and as such we don't tend to get much nissan work through the shop so my knowledge on part interchangeability between nissans is not that thorough, hence my asking people who may have done this conversion.
nor have we had any customers booking in there 206's for an rb20/25/26 conversion so i'm a bit lacking in that department too. sorry.
but thanks for your reply.
why the rb20? i wouldn't mind something a bit revvy for a change, and my current engine's a bit shagged as it is so i don't really want to turbo it.
b2barker, nice thought, do you want to send me some cash?
thanks guys
