SWAP RB20 FOR RB25 IN 1998 GTS-T - I KNOW THERE ARE ANSWERS HERE BUT HARD TO FIND

Hi All,

New to Skylines so need a few answers - I've looked in the forum and while I'm sure my questions have been answered before, but finding it hard to get definitive answers for my particular situation.

I have a 1998 GTS-T track car. RB20DET, R33 Turbo (unsure of specifics), RB25 gearbox.

PROBLEM: Hole in side of engine due to rod trying to escape. 

REQUIREMENT: Transplant later model RB25DET NEO from AWD R34 Stagea into said R32 GTS-T.

QUESTIONS: (I know some of these are simple for you Gurus but humour me, please!)

1. What are the fitting issues with migrating to RB25DET? Engine mounts, peripherals, etc.

2. Why is it an issue whether the RB25 is an AWD or RWD model? What needs to happen?

3. What other issue and solutions are there with this transplant? 

I'm sure there will be other questions I have as the discussion continues.

Thanks.

 

This has been covered so many times it's not even funny.

1. What are the fitting issues with migrating to RB25DET? Engine mounts, peripherals, etc.
Engine mount brackets, accessory pumps/brackets, wiring loom and ecu, heater hoses, Inlet piping etc etc you get the idea. The engine itself fits fine, it's everything else you need to think about.

2. Why is it an issue whether the RB25 is an AWD or RWD model? What needs to happen?
Replace AWD sump/diff with a RWD sump.

3. What other issue and solutions are there with this transplant? 
Google it, too much to list.

    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
    • Mate, I take this thread in random directions on occasion myself, so no foul I'm a old fan of MCM anyway, I like their banter, and enjoy most of the stuff they do
    • Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.  
    • I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
    • I've done about 4000km's on it. I'm thinking of maybe "Working" from home aka my garage this week and getting it out so I can drop it off early next week. He said bring it over right away and didn't make any excuses, so it seems like he's going to work with me on getting it resolved asap. I'll let you know what I find when I take it apart later this week.
