Not much point... for 7k you might get a stock rb25 engine into your car thats about it if you did it on the cheap. Good idea if you want the car for quiet along time and want to get 350+rwhp with the R32 gtst.

On the other hand 7k will get you 250+rwhp if you use your money wisely on the rb20 and if you want anywhere up to 320-330rwhp the rb20 will be fine which is heaps for rwd street car!

If your going for a convertion on a r32 i think the rb26 is a lot easyer to do than a rb25. Also you wouldnt need to spend $7000 to make a rb20 more powerfull than a stock rb25 and you less likey to do the rings on your rb20 if your thinking about running more than 1 bar boost.

try 5k at the absolute worst.

Motor & loom & labour to fit i would envisage a 5k or less pricetag. Its dependant if you fit an RB25 box or not.

For a stock turbo'd RB25 motor, the stock RB20 box will hold no problem anyway IMO. So not worth changing.

So yeah, under 5k easily

yeah cheers for the input, wouldnt a rb26 be pretty expenisve and would u need the different gearbox and other stuff like that correct me if im wrong. yeah i want the car for awhile its mint condition its got 20's on it but i wanna change them to bloody expesive for tryes. hyperdrive said id get the complete motor for 2.5k or 3grand, and instal is 1500, and they said wit the rest of them money do injectors ,z32afm, fuel pump, powerfc.

i think it sounds orright. are hyperdrive good, if herd really good stuf about em but i thought id ask u guys aswell.

Sorry I meant, rb25 + box + ecu/loom + install charges would get up closer to that 7k mark.

I guess alot depends on where u get the motor and who installs it!

Hyperdrive is excellent and only do top work :dry: Check the 34 V-spec out the front if you are unsure along with the many other GTR's around that place!!

lol.. yeah

get the engine done, then put it in if you really want to go that way. I'd ask why though? that sort of power won't be that useable to drive around with..

You can get a basic rb25 engine package (no gearbox) for around $2k with loom and ecu..

My conversion cost $1600 for the engine loom/ecu and about $300 of the misc stuff I needed (labour was me therefore free). Bit of a special price though, guy sold his old car and just wanted it gone.

Hi i have a rb25det in a r32 it was worth it, all up it cost 1,400 and 3,000 for the 25 I have a r33 computer in it and loom, stock gear box and diff, stock intercooler stock exhaust the boost is a 11psi and it goes hard. i thinck a good 13.2 to 12.8

I could not thinck how hard it will go with all the mods eg. a good 310 rwkw.

Also we did the rear grads a bit bigger than a GTR looks tuff with the 19”s

I'm selling a NEO RB25 for $2500 but not in Perth sorry. That gives you an idea of what you can get. $1800-$2500 for the engine with loom, turbo, ecu, add $1500 for fitting and you're away. Call it $4000 but allow a few dollars for the unforseen.

How far could you take your RB20 for $4500? Probably a fair way... but would $3800 get you as far? Dunno.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
