Replacement Engine For S1 Rs4

[RA28GT2]

Hey guys got the bad news today that my RB25 is toast in my S1 RS4. Pretty frustrating considering It hapened after owning the car for less than a week.

What RB25 will fit in without any major modification? Do all AWD versions from 33's and Stageas fit?

Obviously RB25 neo is completely different and would require the correct ECU etc?

Ive change alot of old toyota engines but nothing quite this complex is it a tough job? Im overall pretty handy but is there something I should look out for? Can the engine be lifted from the top or does it need to be dropped out with the whole subframe of a hoist? Do I seperate engine and box?

Any help would be great guys.

Shouldn't be hard to find another stagea s1 complete engine and cheap too. Where are you located?

As for the change over I found it easiest to take gearbox and engine out together, but don't forget to label all of the lines and hoses. That is what stuffed me around the first time.

Located in Adelaide.

Anyone got any ideas of where to start? Completely new to Nissan (usually a Toyota guy) so have no idea where to start calling.

Challenge auto wreckers in Sydney have complete s1 engines advertised for $1200 they also do freight. But you being in S.A should make it easier from what I remember there are a few jap import wreckers around radalaide or even import monster in Vic should be able to help you out.

Alternatively you can get your one rebuilt the most expensive thing is labour so getting it out and putting it in yourself will save heaps.

Probably a bit early into your ownership but would be an ideal time to get a Neo motor c/w ecu and loom and a GTR box!

But for minimum $$ pull your engine out and see what it needs to fix it or if you are in a hurry find another S1 Stagea motor.

Try nisswreck they cost but I would say should have a s1 motor they were getting another neo in but were not sure when.
