ylwgtr2 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 no dont do it....just give me the engine for 1500....i will take ten of them thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51846-s15-rb26-conversion/#findComment-1024064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS8_Gohan Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 $1500??? so you're getting a RB26, but without the DETT? RB26 S15 - do it! That would be crazy. S15's look the biz i think, and a RB26 would just make it a monster. Although for $1500, i'd wanna make sure the engine was ok before you did anything with it. cheers.

pentae Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The s15 is already cool enough as is. But with a GTR engine? Oh my GOD! Just make sure you spend some money getting it rebuilt/new turbos etc while its already out of the car.. no sense putting it in and driving 10 meters down the road and boom... If you do it, send us pics. lots of pics. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51846-s15-rb26-conversion/#findComment-1024105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ylwgtr2 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 and if your buying it for 1500....you might need to stamp a new engine number into it.....

G0DF4Th3R Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 is that just the bare engine or with all the other associated parts, eg turbos manifold wiring etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51846-s15-rb26-conversion/#findComment-1024149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ido09s Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I would be seriously questioning the engine at that price but if it is all legit and in good condition jump on it. I still would hope you have a crap load of money to do it though cause to do it properly you will need it.

someonestolecc Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Motorcafe asked for issues and technical information that may help him in his conversion. Not to be told off about the deal he got on his engine. Everyone who isn't commenting on the merit of the idea that just posted up needs to get a life and stop assuming just because they cant get a good/great deal that everyone else is shifty and needs to be told off. Hopefully the next posts below will be helpful. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51846-s15-rb26-conversion/#findComment-1025392 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, speaking for myself, I was joking about my remark. It was a direct quote from 'Starsky & Hutch'. If you were offended, I'm sorry, but you should see the film - damn funny. Secondly, I think the attitude you have been given is probably founded by the fact that no one can understand how you could get a running RB26 for so little money. If you are able, and it is that cheap and legit, then that is awesome - we are all jealous. Can you put me down for 3. Thirdly, why do you want to put an RB26 in the S15? You have to ask yourself some pretty serious questions about cost vs benefit. A well built SR will be reliable up to quite a number of kay-dubyas (i don't have experience, but may people build mega hp SRs). What sort of hp do you want? RB26s are expensive to make high hp (compared to SRs) - would it be more effiecient to spend all the custom fab cost of dropping in the RB on modifying the SR anyway? And would the chassis balance be ruined by dropping in another (guessing) 100kgs in the front end? eg. Meggala pulled out an RB20 from his Ceffy and dropped in a SR. BUT - an RB S15 will be totally cool and unique. If you are out to build a unique or show car, then do it. It can be done (see zymotic's link), but unless you have mega resouces, may end up being high cashola if you want a 800hp motor Oh and by the way, INASNT is probably the most negative person on the forums Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51846-s15-rb26-conversion/#findComment-1026074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
