Mase - Yes I'm doing the conversion myself. I will get help with the wiring from a mate who has done rb20 conversion, so that shouldnt be hard. 2.5k all up sounds fair for rb20 costs, but im putting a rb25 in, there is no use getting rb20 over sr20.

I'm the "mate" that's doing the wiring. The only reason he is getting an rb25 instead of a 20 is so he can beat me. Hopefully when we get the mods and boost even, we will be neck and neck. Maybe I might even try to rev my engine out more. We will have to see but there is no way I'm losing!

snoop... Its a pitty you couldn't get a RB30DET in there as a standard bottom end supplied and rebuild with standard internals and ACL bearings is around the 800 mark. Then the RB25DE head is 750 with plenum and injectors if you wish or you could use a RB20DET plenum and injectors. Use the RB20DET turbo exhaust manifold and you are off with a fresh motor.. :)

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
