Rb Motor Position

[ydr030]

hey, sorry if in wrong section, move if possible.

just wondering if ne 1 has moved there motors back? how far can u go before u start getting sump/ rack clearance issues? it looks pretty close

maybe no1s done it in a skyline but maybe in a silvia with a rb conversion?

ive got a r33 member and a r32 im trying out.

the r32 makes the motor sit 10mm further back than the r33 xmember. im chasing another 15mm. i can gain that easy just by redrilling etc: just wondering if ne 1 had done sumthing similar before i have a go at it.

btw this is in a dr30, im putting a rack in it by using 1 of these members, just need the motor to sit further back to suit previous gearbox/mountings etc.

cheers

I think your biggest issue would be clearance from the head to the firewall?

Check out Dave32's (or something like that) build thread.

RB25 in a R32 with I think Range Rover mounts. Quite low & set back...

blk94r33, cheers buddy, motors already been in car, and theres heaps of room, nothing like a33 or r32. ive changed xmembers and need the engine to re align with the "original" gearbox positon,

^ kinda gives u an idea on wat needs to be done check the hammer lol,

ill check out "daves 32"

cheers

I could be wrong but a local guy here was building a DR30 with RB25 (ended up using a SR20) am Im pretty sure he was using an S13 cross member instead of the RB to get it low enough and back enough in the engine bay.

Let me see if I can find his build thread/updates and I'll get back to you

Priso's old car indeed.

Wasn't able to find where he was posting updates (think it was NS.com) but might be worth shooting him a message and asking
