hey guys, I have a mate with a spare rb26dett with a piston down in 1st.

Have just picked up a r34. Just wanting to know what can I take off the 26dett to put on the 25det? as in head/block? etc. etc.

I know the crank is possible. What else?

Cheers.

Where in my post did i say i can take the head off and wack it on the 25? I simply asked what is interchangeable.

I do not want to put the 26 in the car simply due to the fact i want to keep the 25det as it has very low km's.

Well, since the heads are different, you can't interchange the parts (Intake & exhaust manifolds etc).

The block, I'm not too sure but the crank and rods can be used, not the pistons because RB26 pistons have a different gugen pin position.

Seriously, its not worth it. I'd rebuild the RB26 and complete swap the engines if you want the decent engine.

Pull your old engine out and sell it to pay for the changover.

But you mentioned the crank etc - you'd have to pull down the RB25 anyway to put it in?

Just because the odometer says it has low km's, doesn't mean they are. 90% of imports are wound back... And some I have seen as much as 50,000kms to 100,000kms. THink about it - THe car will be 10 years old, and most likely have 20,000 on it.. A normal driver does about 10,000 per year.

As the guys have already said you are not being specific enough about what is is you are trying to achieve. An example perhaps, the RB26 knock sensors will bolt onto the RB25DET Neo block. Is that useful to you? Probably not since the RB25DET Neo knock sensors are just as good (and possibly newer) than RB26 knock sensors. But maybe the knock sensors on your engine are stuffed, so the RB26 ones would be useful. The other bit of vital information that is missing is what model of RB26? For example an R34GTR exhaust camshaft will fit an RB25DET NEO, but an R32/33GTR exhaust camshaft won't, because the CAS drive is different. Oil pump, an R32GTR oil pump is not worth swapping to, but an R33GTR S2 and R34GTR oil pumps are definitely worth it.

Not so simple is it? So please supply some more info and we will see what we can do.

Cheers

Thanks this is the sort of information i was looking for. It is an r33 rb26dett,

As for the kms. Well compression come back 150 across all boards. So im happy that it is a relatively safe base to work with.

hi,

sorry for correcting you SK, but afaik rb26 knock sensors are quite different from rb25.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
