i got the gtr loom which doesnt wori me and fuel is all aftermarket so no problem there and a high rise manifold with a 35/40 so know prob i just mean basically if there are any mods hav to be done to fit it in properly all the gear came of mt rb20 which blew up so i bite the bullet and said f**k it rb26 into it with my parts but yer all i know off was the sump and use the rb20 mounts and should go straight in just wondering maybe i could use my rb20 sump would that fit properly or not big enought

I think the main problem you're going to have here is traction.. :blush:

I can't help you with the sump but I do have some random questions..

What model GTR did the motor come from?

Are you going to freshen it up in anyway before putting it in your gtst?

was it from a running car?

compression test?

It'd be a pain in the arse to have to do any og that work when it's in the car.

Sump, If you choose to use the Rb20 sump you will need to modify the oil pick up and fins. Honestly, use a GTR sump and when you cut the diff off add a sump extension. I have one already made, you can have it for $400 it cost me >$500 to make up!

Brackets, Retain your Rb20 engine brackets and mounts. You might have to mod the exhaust side a bit to clear the turbo.

You will need custom pipe work for the intercooler and heater hoses.

Cheers,

the motor was out of a gtr 32 half cut which had 52 on it yer im goin to do a bit of freshening up but we will see how far i go it had a boreskope done and compression test and ran on a engine bench before i bought it. the gearbox im using the rb20 one with straight cut gears hopefully it will last traction i still have to sort out the suspension is set up for it and i have 265 wide tryes at the rear so we will see wat happens should be fun the only wori i have is the sump the rest doesnt wori me yet so it is easier to cut and weld my sump then tryin to fit my rb20 sump to suit

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
