Rb26 In A 32 Gtst

[Dsturbd]

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

Not a fan of using the tin sump , loose 4 of the mount bolts n non baffled also strenght .. what we paid for sump mod it isnt worth the hassle .. after all spending a heap of $$$ we not going tight ass on a sump

how much is it just to modify the sump??

[Dsturbd]

Sumps at fabricators now to be done , we also fitting Tomei baffle kit

[mrsparkle]

i know what you mean i got two trap door baffles put into mine because you have to cut the original baffle anyway to get the pick up in place i dont know about you but i can weld steel but not alloy so it was just easier just fpor the record my sump has since been replaced with a high energy version specifically for rb26 into rwd coversions so problem solved either way

Hey mrsparkle what ecu are you running in your 33 ?

[mrsparkle]

microtech lt12s

[play r 32]

really? thats what im using. how do you find it? as in does your car start nice when its cold, idol? run rich, fuel consumption etc. ? Im having major dramas with mine. who tuned yours?

[mitchy_]

i had a LT12S powered 25 when my car first arrived Ben.. fuel consumption was shocking, ran rich as...

[mrsparkle]

runs like shit when its cold it misfires and carries on like a big bucket of shit hahaha its alright once its warm though ive had it tuned a few different times trying to fix the cold start and what not still shithouse i think its a rb26 thing though cause my rb25det r31 runs awesome and it has a lt12s as well makes good power fuel consumption isnt even that bad but it was tuned by mike from factory re so hes getting my rb26 r33 as soon as the new engine is built and back in

could this be all done at home, right now i am in the process in getting a R33 gearbox with the custom tailshaft, also got a power fc coming as well as the complete engine, so yeah

[Flash89]

back on this thread, hehe. got the engine with wiring loom, gearbox custom tail shaft, power fc, 044 fuel pump. now i am just trying to get the engine all pretty. im going to have it stock for about a year or so then upgrade turbos etc etc. need to get clutch, flywheel and need the sump modified. anyone hook me up with that. will there be any lil bits i might have to get??

when installing you able to use the RB20s engine mounts?? this is a R32 RB26 by the way

You need to get the ballast resister pack wired into the loom somewhere, modding the sump can range in price depending on how much you do yourself and what you want done to it. You'll have to bolt on your RB20 engine mounts onto the RB26 or it wont fit. You'll need 32r radiator hoses as well. Have you found a front pipe for the turbos yet?

IF your doing it yourself as well, get a few mates, and drop the motor and box in as one piece. Also ring nissan and order every gasket you can, including the rear main seal.

[Flash89]

been searching the forums but cant really find anything that helps me. also another thing i am thinking can i use the 20box mounts for the 25 box.

so that is a yes that i can use the RB20 wiring loom just need to get a ballast resister pack. what is the reason for this, or could it be easier just to use the RB26 wiring loom.

rear main seal??

[masTers]

Use the 26 loom, youll have to if you running the twin turbos anyway, so youll need the resistor pack wired in for the injectors.

You'll need to modify the gearbox cross member, or make a whole new one for the RB25 box to fit, and then get the tailshaft made up.

All these little things are covered in various thread around the place (RB25 box in 32 gtst, RB26 into gtst, RB26 maintenaince, etc) search up.

[Flash89]

got the custom tail shaft, so still need the resistor pack even tho i am using the 26 loom

[AD4M]

yes

[masTers]

Have you testd the shaft fits YOUR car perfectly?

Yes you need the resistor pack.

Whos doing the convo for you?

[Flash89]

i will be getting beyond custom to do it for me, with the tail shaft i bought it off a guy that also sold me the gearbox. he had these both on his 32
