Rb26 In A 32 Gtst

[masTers]

Just a thought.... search button.

Come on dude, seriously. There is a massive thread and a very comprehensive .pdf on it.

Will cost just as much if not more than a 26 conversion.

Just go for a 26 n be done with it ...

I called Mayhem asking about turbo upgrade for the 25 neo n ended up with a rb26dett

[play r 32]

haha i got beaten by a v8 commodore and ended up with an rb26.

I got beaten by a wrx last weekend.. now I have an RB30

[play r 32]

Haha yeah losing is expensive! damn ego!

[bubba]

Indeed! the engine itself wasn't expensive, neither was the conversion (expensive in time and energy.. RB30 built, fitted and running in a weekend ).

The expensive parts come now.. need some custom bonnet work, need a tune along with a z32 afm and some bigger injectors.. I can feel this 20 box isn't very happy being behind a 3L now so a 25 box is going to be needed soon O_o

On the funny side.. got the RB25 turbo that I had on my 20 on there.. full boost by 2000rpm and no lag, instant boost! heh even untuned and running like shit it was pulling up a big hill in 5th at 2000rpm.. 3L ftw

Our 26 is here in the workshop now , box n twin plate here also .. gone for 34 bellhousing n pulltype ..

Once the new turbos n tomei manifolds arrive we will fit up n drop it in the hole

Be running by christmas

Bart, Keep us up to date with some pics

Man i wish i had the money but i think if im gonna do a conversion it will be an rb25 just keep it simple and just a bit cheaper than a 26 conversion

[GOT BOOST]

yeah for sure. you wouldnt have to weld up the oil sump for a start!

you still need to change the sump though.

gts4's run 4.3 and gtrs run 4.11 diff gears

[bubba]

Just thought I'd update.. car is now running fine on the chipped ecu from the group buy.. with r&r removed it revs out but, I don't rev it past 5.5-6k or give it much of a hard time till it gets tuned.. 2 weeks away <sigh>

[Dsturbd]

flahs once you get a 26 your car will be exactly what i imagined my car to be like when i first started modding, vertex kit and all. Mine was originally black. Somehow i got sidetracked though ? you got the vertical doors hey?

[Flash89]

i got du luck kit but now thinking wide body. yeah i got scissor doors but i am going to put back the stardard cause the scissor are not ADR approved now thats a waste

[R32 Driver]

how much does a rb26 retail for?

selling scissor door set up?

[Flash89]

5500ish for the engine

i would recommend not to get scissor doors as it is a pain to install and there will be cutting in your front fender and plus the gas strut will hit the inside of your fender and you will have a lil ding

hey all im new to your forum but ive done the rb26 into a r33 gtst it was excellent in fact i cant suggest it highly enough its not laggy at all it can paint the roads with black lines whenever you want they rev nice the standard twins exhaust and cooler got me 340 at the wheels netted me a 12.20 @116 mph on street tyres i did the conversion myself but when it comes to sumps i just bolted my old rb25det sump on there was a second set of bolt holes on the bottom of the rb26 block i had to grind away part of the oil pickup but that was it. being an r33 i had the rb25 5 speed and that thing is still going strong total cost around 5ish for me i think i used everything from the half cut plus a new clutch and thats about it i think but compared to the rb25 powered r31 ive got my 33 shits all over it my r31 makes similar power on low boost but it would have gotten its ass handed to it by the r33 on the street or the racetrack
