S1 Stagea Auto To Man

[whitenight27]

yo i am thinking of changing my s1 rs4v to a rb26 later down the road.

but in the mean time i am wanting to change the auto to a s2 rs4 man. have been told this is hard and not to do but just sell my rs4v and get a rs4s.

i would use the 26 man but they are bigger and i need to bash the tunnel out to make it fit.

can be done but i am not chasing a stuped amount of power so a s2 rs4 man should be able to stand up and would fit with out much trouble.

what u all think?

Who ever told you its hard has rocks in their head....

I did the entire conversion in <24hrs at home on the axle stands.

PS Im 21 so not like i have decades in the industry or anything. Heck I'd never even seen a clutch before!

its all do able, but just depends on how comfortable you are without it on a car hoist, i also slammed my mates r34 gearbox into his car, was heaps hard as in physical, but not brain surgery.

just make sure you change your automatic gear sensor to Neutral so you can start and turn off your car!

Pretty sure its the same box. I have an R33 GTR box in my car. Tunnel has not been bashed out. There is a tutorial in the DIY section.

yeah rs4s box is an r33 gtr box

you only need to do that clutch master recess thingo if you use a clutch mater with a vac booster too, i think

yer i not think it was that hard. i have done man conversions before when i was at jshop hear in perth just not on a rs4 befor.

ok good to know that the gtr box will fit.

i am looking at my mates r34 gtr motor and prob r33 gtr man.

will look for that tutorial later.

thanks guys

also what stock ecu can i ru when i make it man?

[KiwiRS4T]

You can use your stock ecu it will work fine. But if you're going RB26DETT then get the loom with it and fit a Link or Vipec

[whitenight27]

are they a piggy back?

yer i going rb26dett later down the road so will still use the 25.

so how i go about the auto part of the stock ecu in the mean time?

[KiwiRS4T]

Stock auto ecu will run fine with no alteration. You just have to short out the fuses in front of the battery so it will start (details in the DIY I think). Link/Vipec replace the stock ecu so best to wait until you get the 26 so you can get the right one.

ok cool cool
