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:

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
