Is This Possible

[R31 drift pig]

Damn Right it can be done, and has been done many times before.

Im considering lifting the 200kw RB20 out of my R31 and putting it into a silvia, and building just a streeter.

Heres the basics.

1. Use r32 or a31 or front x-member with r32 engine mounts.

2. Elongate the holes on the engine mount brackets to sit the engine lower if using the r32 x-member.

3. The ca18det speed sender will fit in the rb20 gearbox.

4. An rb20 gearbox member can be used.

5. A manual turbo s13 tailshaft will fit.

6. Use the rb20 dump and frontpipe. An s13 cat back will bolt up.

7. Use an rb20det radiator with twin thermos. Shrouding/ducting is recommended.

you can use a R32 I/C kit as well.

A RB25 will sit higher than a 20 so Id suggest using the A31 Cross member.

Go to Nissansilvia.com, go to the search engine, and type in RB20DET into S13. You'll find all the info you need. 99% of the stuff for a 20DET will be the same for a 25DET, cept the wiring I think.

Hope that Helps.

Im pretty sure here in town *Gladstone* QLD there is a 180, with S13 front end, it's got a GTR badge on it, got me thinking.. i thought he's either a real dick or it's a pun.. anyway, im pretty sure theres a 26 under the bonnet cause it has that mean growl to it. But yeah, anything is possible. its up to your imagination.

1 of the best combinations have been sorted now, run the r33 crossmember with 2ltr cortina mounts, this seems to give the lowest enginearrangment and you could also slot the mounts and slide the engine back, ill try confirm this is up coming weeks. but look here for more detail and pics!

the only reason i would undertake this is because im not a big fan of the 4cyl and i love the 6 cyl in the skylines. would it b worthwhile doing this or just spend the money on doing up the engine thats in the silvia??

me too . . . converting r33 crossmember with 2ltr cortina mounts is such a great idea . . .Im not good in doing project like that . . .I feel like an idiot when it comes to those things!
