nissan terrano 4WD - rb20det conversion??

[Mr GTS4]

i was thinking the other day about doing a rb20det conversion in one of those nissan terrano 4WD's.. cause i want to put a RB30DET into my GTS4 so i would have a rb20 sitting around, and i'm thinking of getting a 4wd next year. just wondering if it was possible to do it... use the terrano gearbox and get a custom bell housing for that. what do you think?

p.s. my friend has a hilux 4 runner with a 1G-GTE with a S14 bb turbo, gtir front mount, 37" mud tires, 16 pound boost and 203 hp at the wheels. so going 4wding with him is quite fun.

Dear god that's scary - I hope ya don't flip it.

Good luck either way

[Mr GTS4]

just sounded like a good idea.. would be funny to see a club full of skyline powered 4WD's going ona cruise!!! LOL

Mind you don't 4wds need torque? I mean .. I'd take a torquer over a rb20 for a 4wd since probably in most 4wd situations the rb20 would be too little or too much..

then again a terrano isn't exactly a real 4wd in my mind

mmm.... drifting 4WDs

my gf owns a terrano (92 turbo manual) and i have thought about a 300ZX V6 engine into it as the aus-spec model already comes with a V6 so it would fit in quite easily id imagine.

As for an RB engine, they are quite long and i think that wouuld be the hardest part in getting it to fit.

I think the current 2.7T engine would be alot better suited in the terrano than the RB20 because its torque range. you would have to rev the tits off the RB to get it to go anywhere compared to the 2.7.
