Rb26 Twin Turbo Into R33 Gts-t Shell, Any Issues With Plumbing And Lh Engine Mount?

[Chris Wilson]

I think I could be about to have issues with the different LH engine mounts in a GTR and GTS-t R33. I am putting a twin turbo (stock set up) R26 engine into an R33 GTS-t shell. It appears some of the front turbo oil or water feed piping could interfere with the different engine mount used in a GTS-t. Has anyone doe this swap and can tell me about the issues? i am still assembling all the pipes and unions for the turbo plumbing, but from what i can see so far this could be an issue, in particular the steel pipe with the cops tail curl in it to the front turbo?

Thanks.

Use RB26 mounts

I did, and it all bolted into my HR frame, should do the same for a ECR

Nismoid is correct just use the rb26 engine brackets and you wont have any dramas..

So using RB26 engine / GTR bodyshell engine mounts into an R33 GTS-t subframe with an RB26 twin turbo engine line up OK? Thanks.

no leave the standard gtst engine mounts(rubber mounts) on the cross member but use the alloy gtr engine brackets, hope this helps
