masTers Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 reading this wants me to put a 26 in, just bringing up the old thread. just wondering whats the cost of getting to engine in?? ALOT. You need to be handy with a Tig welder and air hacksaw as well just to mod the sump. Then youll want to freshen up the motor, need a 25 gearbox, a decent clutch, custom tail shaft, new cooler piping, etc, etc, etc. Also if you cant do it yourself (or have good mates) the labour is going to kill you as well.

play r 32 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 As i have mentioned a few times i have kept the rb20 gearbox and im not having any problems as of yet. You will need a much better clutch though. dunno about the custom tailshaft. i kept my gtst one. What also make sit expensive is you start to think "While im at it" then you start doin computer upgrade etc. etc. I put aside $7000 for the conversion but spent closer to $9000 If i had a re-do i would have used an rb25 and spent the extra cash on a better turbo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/123778-rb26-in-a-32-gtst/page/4/#findComment-3369987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
masTers Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I went for a 34 gt-t box and hks twin plate. Being a bigger box the shaft had to be shortened. I also went for a pair of 2530s, and a powerfc, as well as afm upgrades, nismo injectors, etc. Total cost has blown well out now but Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/123778-rb26-in-a-32-gtst/page/4/#findComment-3370245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4t Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 wow, after reading all this i think i might have to chuck a 26 in my gts4, it would be an easier and slightly less costly job with a gts4 wouldnt it?

P4t Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 true that! it will still be a costly operation, maybe i should just fruit out the rb20 thats in there? and the money i save i can go on a clubbing holiday Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/123778-rb26-in-a-32-gtst/page/4/#findComment-3376720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

masTers Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Dont need to do steering rack, im just fussy. Dude, there is enuf info in this topic to write an essay on the conversion. Read up, get some serious cash together, and get on it. If its too much, RB25's are cheap, put one of those in.
