rb26 the s14?

[michealkirwan]

anyone here done it or know exactly what it takes to get this done?? planning to do it slowly over time as im a skyline head and theres plenty on youtube already done. going standard enough at the moment in my own head so if anyone has done it let me know. probably be running the twin turbo setup

Any reason you want a rb26? For the money it will cost u Micheal you would be better off getting the Sr built and bigger turbo. All depends what your going to be using the car for as well.

well the dream car is a 34 gtr and with college i havent got the 30 grand to buy the 34gtr so next best thing, always loved the noise of the 26 and id upgrade the crank which is the killer in them. just a good standard engine new steel gasket and rebuild the turbos. still be a road car just to know that theres one under the hood is making me grin already.

An RB26 swap wont be cheaper than 10k even if you do the work yourself.

what about rb25? already rwd so no hassle there cheaper to buy and doesn't have the gtr tax for parts like the rb26 does.you still get that sexy sound with plenty of power

[davep91]

Well what your budget
Rb26 engine and all the anchilers is 3k+ alone
Any parts to do with a gtr is expensive

[michealkirwan]

its not going to be built quickly lads just kinda get it done bit by bit im in no rush or have no plans to sell the 14 either so ill have it all done ready to pop in with box etc. more the 26 because i can say ive an rb26 really haha its just an idea lads.

If you're a skyline man id imagine it would be cheaper, quicker and easier to buy a skyline and rb26 that instead?

[michealkirwan]

unless it was a genuine r34 gtr no i wouldnt be going for another skyline only that.

If your looking for parts, there is a guy on skyline owners on fb breaking his s14 which had an rb26 in it. He has all the conversion parts and sooooo many goodies!! Only went up yesterday. Took a good few parts from him, seems sound enough.
