What Cars Have/would You Put An Rb25det Engine Into That Works

[FSTR32]

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

[SiR_RB]

R32 gtst with an rb25 box aswell :PBJ:

also abit off topic, but ive seen a vl calais turbo with a worked rb26dett, looked/sounded/went like a rocket - traction was a huge problem but haha

[fresh]

i've got a mate with an rb25 in a vp with a 3040 bolted onto it, not a bad ride, not a huge fan of commodores but still

[axe s]

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...

A Laurel or Cefiro are 2 other possibilities.

A lot of quick SR's out there, they arn't so 'pissy'!

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

Datto 240Z are great with RBs

[EvilINGT]

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

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

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

+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.

Drop one in a lexus IS-200.

Seen it before... already has RWD, nice interior, good looking car and not a cop magnet!!

... went like stink too

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

[scheris]

is-200 with a 25 fits mate I like that idea.

s13-14 would be good

32 also are nice with it...

Another vote for the Datz 240/260Z.

I nice clean one looks hot !

[ctjet]

my mate was going to drop my old RB25 into his 260Z... decided he didnt want to die so we didnt do it

... stroked it out to a 3.1ltr animal instead
