Rb25 With Vl Turbo Gearbox

[smokem31]

Hey people, am putting an rb25 into my r31, and am using the gearbox out of the vl turbo, I think it's the mx7 gearbox. The starter motor holes in the sheet metal plate don't meet up with the holes in the gearbox.

I am wondering if i can make the holes bigger and use the holes on the gearbox for the r33 starter? The holes are out by about 5mm. Will the starter still sync properly with the flywheel if I use the vl gearbox holes?

Cheers

mx7 is designed to be used with a 9" flywheel from memory, which is .5" bigger than rb25 flywheel, i am unsure of how a 25 starter would mesh with the mx7 flywheel even if you could get the holes to match up

buy a rb30 starter.
