Thats right , my R33 4 auto 4 door now totes an RB26dett :flamed:

Its been a long 12 months since the demise of the 1st 25 , with only a brief (4000 kms ) stint with a forgied 25 ( this is a long , costly & painfull story that I will leave to my Lawyers!) all of which lead me to , with a little help from that zoom article , putting an Rb26 into the 4 door.

Basicly , I was able to fit the 26 into the 25's hole by using the 25 engine mounts & just turning the drivers side 1 around 180 degrees.Then shorten the throttle cable , add a GTR radiator top hose & ta da!

I have retained to 25s engine loom so I can keep the Wolf ecu that alows me to run the auto , we just had to change the injector plugs to Bosch ones & change the function of the 25s VVT switch to now be the air temp sensor :)

Although , with the help of Wolf tech support , I am able to use the 26 Cam Angle sensor & change the way the map reads to Ref & Sync. (instead of the modified 25 cas , used for dual point sensing) which has made Cold starts much more reliable.

The 26 is out of an R33 GTR with 51 000ks on it , stock internals & injectors , & the only mods are GReddy adjustable cam gears.

The GTR turbs were rebuilt using T28 (SR20) zorst wheels & housings because they are Steel , & much bigger!

The auto remains stock ( bigger trans cooler coming) but using Redline Racing ATF

which has practically removed any "slip" on the now quite abrubt Gear changes :aroused:

The end result..........376.9rwhp with boost spikes to 20psi before settling to 18psi

& I am bloody happy with that!

The real test will be Drag combat on the 23rd of April so...fingers crossed no :Bang:

Thanks heaps To George & Sean from Adrenaline ( experience counts)

Bart for crazyimports.com

& Steve from Maytech

Well done Rep and good to see you using the local boys down there.

I know that Peter Blight has nothing but good things to say about George and his patience with getting it right.

Ohh and Maytech, who who get a lot more business if he realised most peoples working days are 8 till 5 , not 5 till 2 in the morning . lol :)

Dare I ask who the lawyer involves or is it probably someone I already know? :)

Cheers

nice man. Do u mind if i ask wat sort of figures this conversion cost?? I've been thinking about what i'd do if my engine cooked and just wanna know if its a viable option.

Congrats on the figures dude, bet you're stoked!!

I'm trying hard NOT to think about it dude ....

But I think 10k would cover it for a straight engine change ( including the engine that is)

It starts to add up when you go for Modded turbs , Split gate dumps Custom Intakes etc...trust me

Cheers

Yeah nice work troy and good to see it all up and running nicely. It was a nice job Sean and george did on the blue rocket.

So the million dollar question what your guess on ET and MPH for DC.

Plus it will be good to have a couple of the buno boys at DC.

Thanx Pete ,

As for ET & MPH , I'd settle for 12.5 @ 115..... as long as its better than my last run :) (except this is in street trim = No Nos)

I'm not sure quite how bad I want to beat up on it , but lets face it , by the end of the day I'll probably be Stalling it up against the handbrake!!!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      Unpeeling the Orange

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
