alot

[masTers]

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.

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

[masTers]

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

masters are you running a 26 powered gtst? can i ask what fuel consumption you are getting with your pfc? is it d-jetro?

[masTers]

No i didnt opt for DJ. In hindsight i probably should have as it would of arrived by now.

Car isnt yet on the road, or tuned, so I cant comment yet on fuel consumption.

Im doing 26dett into a 31 sedan , save a bit as it has 25det box n custom shaft already and 33 GR brembos to slow it

[play r 32]

Awesome. Should be a unique ride. Is it gonna be a sleeper or are you doing it up?

what ecu you gonna run?

[Flash89]

Play R32 how much power you running? you just have the stock turbos on the 26 ay?

[masTers]

Flash89 you can make a comfortable 300 on the stock GTR turbos. Id recomend you just get a RB25 if your on a budget.

DISTURBD you going big single?

Im making about 310 rwhp at the moment. stock turbos running 11 pound i think. Its gotta go for another tune yet though hopefully get some more out of it.

masters where you talking 300hp or 300kw?

[masTers]

300rwhp

[P4t]

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?

[play r 32]

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

[P4t]

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

[Dsturbd]

Awesome. Should be a unique ride. Is it gonna be a sleeper or are you doing it up?

what ecu you gonna run?

It will be set up for track work .. Ordered PFC D jetro

DISTURBD you going big single?

No big single , after doing the Dutton with the 25neo 31 we decided we needed that little bit of xtra grunt so building whole new car for next yr

[Flash89]

so what exactly do you need to do. all i know is have a RB25 box, wiring loom(heard you still use the RB20 one), modify the sump. anything else??

[alpinestars]

i think power steering rack

but cooler pipes

change fuel pump

adj tail shaft

[masTers]

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.

[Flash89]

just had a thought. what if i had a RB30 bottom with 26head??
