S13 Sil-80 with a RB20DET?

[robert]

Hello All,

This is the first post that I have made, so please excuse it if it has already been posted...

I am getting ready to crossdress a R32 Skyline engine into a S13 sil80. the 80 is a CA18det. It is on its last leg and is ready for a engine overhaul no matter. I have a RB20 with 256 cams and a TD06 turbo and waste gate.

It is making about 400-450ps at the wheel. I want to make this for the drift and a show car.. I was woundering if anyone has seen or heard of a s13 that has been completed with this set up. I know that Neko Corp. here in japan has the jumper for the wire harness and i will probably use that to get around alot of the pain in the butt for the wiring. A friend of mine has a RB26DETT in his Drag 180sx... and a SR20DETT in his 240sx from the states. Yes i said TWIN TURBO on a SR20.. It rocks!! but i was just woundering if anyone had already done this and if there was any advice for the matter.

I have no advice for you

but I would just like to say that an RB20 powered Sileighty is in the top five list in my dream garage. In black, of course, with 15" rims with polished lips and black mesh centres. Good luck with it!

ok,

so has anyone actually seen one? I am thinking of taking pics and posting them as the project progresses. It is not the first hybred that i have made, I made a onevia last year, but it will be the first with a completely different engine then was intended for the chasis.

Well if you need more info on the swap, there's a couple guys on www.northwestnissans.com who have done several, with or without Silvia front conversion.
