dad lives over here 3 weeks of every month, and he thought it would e good for me to come over for 2 weeks and stay in his apartment for something to do

so here i am :D

yo shane hypotheticly speaking,

if you had an R32 GTST that had an R33rb26 rwd conversion done its matched up to a 25 box and hardwired DLink ecu

Now take a basicly stock R33 GTST and swap the two engines between the cars loom and all - so the 32 had the 25 from the 33 and the 33 had the 26 from the 32

what are the problems/obsticles to overcome in doing this?

reason being my friend is looking at selling his freshly built car and if i can get the cash together he is considering the posibility of an engine swap

(he has decided to wear a skirt and buy a house)

you can ask me i am doing a conversion atm.....

yeah shane would blab on about r33's and rb26's...and 32's and curse each one....maybe.

but yeah as i said above....if you change everything, then just placement of items and radiator etc, and tailshaft, gearbox mount are the only bits i can think of, but then shane may think of something else.....oh you may need to make room for the different style plenum off the 26, fuel lines.....fuel pump, dump pipes...should change straight off the other car.

space wise should be fine as its a big single conversion

at the moment all i can think of is radiator and dump but they should be easy

how do the engine mounts go?

engine mounts are the same...as all the block castings are the same...as with the rb30.

but probably drive shaft...gearbox mount maybe....radiator.....space to do it...every thing else should match up...

what do you mean by driveshaft?

and the gearbox should be fine cause the 32 has a rb25box in it that th 26 is matched up with the clutch has been changed from pull to push or whatever it is

ahh touche.....if they have the same box in them it wont be a prob...but if the 26 had a 26 box, then the length of the shaft might have changed....i think you need to get a different yoke ...i will find out soon.

only problem i can see is in the loom/hard wired ecu form the rb26 car.

you have 2 options:

a) get someone who knows what they are doing and have wired in a link beofre to un-wire the ecu and transfer it into the other car

or

b) swap looms with the engines

option b would be heaps easier in my opinion, as you could do that urself pretty much, and u know its going to work (well ull have more of a chance of it working :P)

everything else will just swap straight over and bolt up :D

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
