Hi guys,

I've currently got a 1995 R33 Gts-4, I'm upgrading to an RB25det...I have found a cheap Rb25det from a GTST which is obviously RWD.

Just wondering how much work would be needed to switch that RWD engine to AWD, I can use the sump off my current block just dont know if it would fit up and what else may be needed for conversion.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Dan

No, the sump bolt patterns are different, you would need an adaptor plate (same as what they use for RB30 4WD conversions) - $1000 +

You really need to find a Stagea Rb25DET and that would drop straight in, with just a diff gear swap (if they are different)

If I was going for high compression I would have just done the de+t conversion....but my engines got 230000kms on it, so I'd rather find a newer stagea engine with around 80-100000kms if possible also installing 32gtr gearbox for different gear ratios as well

If it was possible to find a relatively cheap gtr engine i'd do that as the rest of my driveline and brake setup has been changed to gtr gear already.

I have just done the opposite to you, converted a 4wd rb25det to rwd for a c34 laurel. Strangely the rwd block only has holes for a rwd sump, but the 4wd block has bolt holes for both the rwd and 4wd sump, though to fit the rwd sump I had to modify the oil pickup. if you want to use a rwd you need this.........

In all honesty you are better to find a factory 4wd rb25det engine, usually they are cheaper as its a bit of a pain to mod them to rwd. I managed to get a neo 4wd rb25det for just over $1000 for my 4wd cefiro.

PS, the GTR box has the same ratio as all the other boxes, its just the diff thats a different ratio.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
