RB26DETT Conversion

[Performance Werkz]

Im thinking of getting a Skyline R34. The sad thing is, its auto and non turbo.

Was thinking of a conversion to a RB26DETT together with the Gearbox Conversion. How much does it cost roughly? Really Need Help!

Thanks!

If you havn't already purchased the R34 then buy a R33 turbo ?

If you go throught the prices etc its going to end up cheaper buy a R33 GTR. Theirs a user on sau doing this conversion at the moment.

I'm doing it on a Manual GTT.

Including labour and the following bit's it's been around $13,000

R33 GTR Engine inc Turbos

Tomei Poncams 260' in & 252' ex Camshafts (Type A kit)

Denso 550cc Injectors

Apexi Power Intake GTR kit

HKS Downpipes

Apexi PowerFC

2x Z32 AFM's

New R33GTR clutch to take the power

If i would get a N/A Skyline R34 with Manual Transmission would the manual transmission able to take the pressure or force for a RB26DETT Engine?

im fairly sure that non turbo grearbox's are designed for non turbo cars.

Looking at pics of some the non turbo gearbox they look atlot slimmer compared to the turbo boxes.

Hi IanH,

That config sounds absolutely nuts in a rwd car haha it should be fun trying to get traction thats for sure. Good luck hey

It's an expensive conversion proposition... especially on an n/a auto!

to be honest... you may even get a better result with the rb25 engine and spending the extra $ on the ancillaries, rather than a dead stock rb26dett and no cash left. rb26dett when something goes wrong tend to be kind of expensive.

Go the cheaper option an get a RB25DET front cut from a GTT or a Stagea. A lot less expensive and a lot easier!!

Don't underestimate the RB25. With the right parts, it can still scare the living s**t out of passengers, not to mention yourself!!!

My 2c worth

Yeah the Rb25 motor is great, i would just by the 34 gtt and just spend the cash on it or just buy a series 2 r33 gtst they look kool and than spend even more on the gtst, for about 20,000 you can get a nice series 2 r33 gtst spen 10 to 15k on it and youll have a low 12 second gtst for sure. If you want i can suggest a packge that will get u there.
