what cars have/would you put an RB25det engine into that works???

i have a heavily worked rb25 and im looking to put it into something but not sure what. GTR or s15 are the first 2 that come to mind but it has to be possible and fairly easy to do aswell

best idea i've seen is a VOLVO wit an rb25 mildly modded at the time i saw it but plans for more,

no one would expect to get their ass kick by a volvo

but i suspect this idea is not for every1

s14's look hot with an rb under the bonnet rather then the pissy little sr. I couldn't personally bare to see anything other than rb26 in a GT-R, but it would be an easier conversion. Did you see the GT-R rolling shell I posted a link to in your other thread...

didn't nissan bring these out from factory? *runs from the stagea owners*

i wouldn't go with any car that had a stronger engine in it already (eg gtr). whats the point?but definately something lighter like a s14 or something. you do change the dynamics of thse cars quite badly when doing this ive heard. all depends on what you're using the car for - drift? circuit? drag? street? something to think about

Some dude in the WA forum put one in his LJ Torana. Castlemain rod shop do a conversion kit for a ,RB30 so stands to reason you could get a RB5 in one fairly easily with that kit. Would be heaps fast as torana is light as. Im trying to talk my cuz into doing this.

I think ive seen that car go by me, he "BOVed" me and i turned around to look and all i saw was a volvo, so i followed and he had a turbo volvo, i was pissing myself laughing.

I want a BMW M3 with an RB25DET in it. Ive seen one with a 2JZ, so i want a nissan version :P

don't you dare swap a M3 engine for a boat anchor RB.

also, Volvo made low pressure turbos from factory in the early/mid 90s... still a POS though

+1. the m3 motor is very good. around 170kw at the wheels from the non turbo 6. i went to a dyno comp with 1 there. an old guys car. was stock and made 171kw. won the NA 6 cylinder class easily.

as for what to swap it into, there are lots of options. just remeber that if you put it into an old car, you are still going to have old car handling. it may go fast in a straight line, but start praying when you get to a corner.

Yeah a mate of mine has an S13 with a 25 that has a 3037 strapped onto it, its just a little tail happy with 277kw at the wheels on 11psi lol

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
