im interested in dropping one of these engines into my vl, i was wondering wat sort of mods r need to get this engine in and so forth. any help would be appreciated
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
I was pretty uncalled for telling MRHELE that he needs mods to his head then the car when converting to an RB25DET.
MRHELE, as far as I'm aware, the engine mounting points are the same, and the bolt ons aren't that hard to fasten down. As for the car itself, you'll need to upgrade the brakes, diff, drive shaft, if you have a Jatco 4 speed and plan to keep it, it will need mountains of work, but other than that, all you'll need to make sure of is that you've always got money in your bank account as if something goes wrong with an RB25DET, you'll have to fork out lots more than if anything went wrong with your RB30 (turbo or non-turbo). That was the main reason I got rid of my R33.
Hope this has been of some help to you.
ive just done this conversion recently and it owes me about $3000 but then i sold my old rb30det for $1500 so the conversion owes $1500 and i used skline auto and loom and dash it was a piece of piss the hardest part was the wiring took 2 days but its worth the wait quick car now any questions call me
