Rb26Dett Into R32 Gts-T

[ronnydotk]

Hi all. I have been planning this swap for quite a while (after vicroads and EPA squashed my RB30DET in R32 plan).

What i have worked out so far is:

Buy R32 GTR front cut

Take engine, harness and computer.

few small engine mods (oil drain at rear of head, high volume/baffled sump)

get an RB25DET g'box and clutch etc (do navara speedo swap)

bolt it into the GTS-T.

What issues am i going to have as far as interchanging parts.

What should i do with the front diff on the GTR sump (can you get a plate to block the sump up if you take it out?)

Do GTR intercooler kits/piping fit a GTS-T (or is there a difference in the front of the cars?)

Will original gtr airbox fit in the gts-t engine bay?

will a catchcan designed for an gtr engine bay fit the gts-t engine bay? (one from hiOctane.com)

Will an X-Force GTR exhaust fit the gts-t undercarriage?

Anything else you can think of?

oil drain and bigger sump are the least of you worries, the 15-20yo 32 motor is... IMO don't chase more than 280rwkw.

sump, just get the diff removed and welded up hole, works fine.

airbox should be fine

BOV setup might need custom work to fit

I'll address the intercooler issue.. you can bolt up a whole 32R intercooler/piping/bov setup including the plumback pretty easily, I only had to drill one hole for a vacuum hose. Have to make sure you get EVERYTHING though(all brackets, bulkhead fittings, rubber pipes etc), have a search for a 32GTR workshop manual, there is an exploded diagram of the intercooler and turbo piping setup which helped me a lot when installing.
