Gtr Engine In My Car

[West]

Hey i'm gonna put a GTR engine in my car, give me sum advice please ppl. And how much u guys think my exist engine worth? it's done 80k, i regularly service, timin belt, no oil leak anywhere at all...ICE Performance reckon it worth ONLY about $1500.

What's the better option? do the exist rb25det up or throw it out and rb26dett in?

Thanks guys.

well dunno about engines, but it may be right as you can buy a whole front 1/2 cut for $2500-3000 although price vary and depends on demand and availability at times when you buy or sell them... also depends on condition n milage of your engine.

GTR engine still cost $6000 up I think... so you're left with $4500 changeover... with that sort of money think of what you can put in your car, upgrade your engine or turbo, fmic, etc... well its your choice...

and don't forget if you put RB26DETT in your car, you need a GTR ECU as well, either you get factory from wreckers or maybe included in the engine if it comes in a package, or you get PowerFC which will set you back a further $1300-2000 depend if you get it 2nd hand or new...

Have you worked the rb25det to its limits and want more power with the gtr engine or are you just after the wank factor of showing off to your friends you have a gtr engine in your gts??

with all the money ur gonna spend on the engine and fitment and all the other minor headaches like wiring looms and what have u I'd strengthen the RB25DET, like cooler, ecu, turbo, bottom end forgies fuel pump injectors will have u a very quick car might cost u a couple grand over, but remember the RB26 is obviously gonna be standard which means ur gonna have to make it quicker, more money on top of that... plus ur line is rwd which aint gonna be that much quicker than the RB25DET....just my opinion in the end its ur car do what u like bud...

Yeah that juz a plan but could become reality cos i'm doing a survey and see what's best, is it the existin rb25 or best rb26. By the way i juz bought new clucth, where and who in melb would fit it in for me at a Resonable price if u gus know?

that car at calder last nite with the rb26dettran a 13.8 he had the r2 gtr motor in it .. i was talking to him.. he spent 5 grand on that motor and olnt managed to get a 13.8 out of it,, ( heheh and i managed at 14.1 with a stocky rb25det hahahah)

if i were u i would get the rb30 bottom end and bolt on ur heads

u would probly gain more power that way

thats what im planning on doing anyways...

If you buy the standard GTR motor and drop it into a GTS-T it won't drop the 1/4 mile time too much!, also its a whole package that brings down the times not just the motor. i.e driver skill, car weight, traction and engine and so on..

But the RB26DETT is a stronger base and it responds to mods very well!, with good tuning and resonable bolt on mods there is no reason that a good streetable 500hp can be achived without touching the bottom end, try getting 500hp with the standard RB25DET bottom end!

So for the long run I would (and I am) fit the GTR motor and mod it when you can afford it. (as there is only so far that you can take the RB25!)
