Hi,

I'm looking at doing one of the following conversions into my 32 gtst:

a. 26DETT

b. 30/25

c. 30/26

d. 30/20

I am after any information anyone can give me to help me make my decision on this! I intend to completely forge the bottom end (whichever one I will be using) and will use the GT3540 & manifold, Nismo 555cc injectors, Tomei cam gears, Bosch 550hp fuel pump, Malpassi reg, Microtech LT12 (is currently a plug-in but can be used as a wire-up as well) and other bolt-ons that were on my 20. I need to know such things as how straight forward each conversion would be; what mods I would have to do for each conversion to fit (including timing belt, tensioners, water jackets etc. etc.); which head would be the better of the 3 to use (in terms of standard flow etc.); which bottom end would be the better one to use (in terms of strength) and which option will give me the most power with the least cost.

Would appreciate any information at all! Thanks :rolleyes:

P.S. Has anyone ever put a 2JZ into an R32???? I've seen it in an S15 and a Silvia but not a 32!

Budget?

Use of car?

They will dictate what you do really.

As for the whole "3ltr bottom end", there is a thread already on that, and all the possible parts needed.

Basically all the info is already here, you just need to read it :rolleyes:

You could probably do it for half that amount for 350rwkw

If you have an rb26, with a t88, reving to 11,000rpm it will cost you at least $50K to make it somewhat reliable, and it will surely make a shit load more than 350rwkw :P

Just pointing out how ridiculous your comment about "not being concerned about a budget......" was. Everyone has a budget, goal, etc. :thumbsup:

26/30 would be the best convo, i believe only 1 little bit of machining is needed for head to go on 30 bottom end.

a few hidden details about conversion

need to make engine mounts low with th 30 bottom

if running 25 box need custom cross member, tailshaft etc

need speedo drive(can use 32 gtr and just change 33 gear off)

need temp. sensor so gauge will work(put off 20)

new wiring loom

different heater hoses

and a few other things that i may have missed

But yer all the info is on this site

best of luck mate

^^ I used an RB25DE head out of an R32, swapped all the sensors from my RB20 and she fired up and drove on the stock RB20 ecu (well it was a remap with no R&R.. the stocker ecu just hit R&R all the time with more than 10% throttle or 3000rpm). Drove pretty damn well for an untuned ecu running a bastard engine.. just didn't like 6000rpm+ as the afm was maxing out.

Neeed a new turbo damnit! This RB25 turbo is waaaaaaaaaaaay too small, 12psi by 2200rpm but over 5500-6000rpm it gets majorly restrictive to the point that by the 6800rpm limiter it's only making 90hp :worship:

    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
    • My thing I'd be doing, is pulling it out, and just getting the tune cleaned up for now. Before that even happens, checking over everything, like vac hoses, fuel hoses, etc. No point dropping thousands on sensors if the moment you start it back up all the oil leaks out, or it has massive vacuum leaks etc.   But really, to know what to do, depends on what your use case is. Hard core track car? Throw most sensors available at it. Street car, I'd probably just run oil pressure, oil temps, water pressure, water temp, probably fuel pressure too. I don't know exactly what the Link can handle and do with those though. And if it's mainly just to cruise the streets, rather than mountain runs, you can probably skip most of the above if you've already got them in as gauges and warning lights.   PS, inb4 "sell it and buy a modern sportscar"
