sure, here you go
*hands a 10k stack of bills to nocomedown*

pruto · 05-05-2003, 07:40 PM

motors of ebay... shady...

and i'd bet if you're people who know people, $8k isn't that surprising for a RB26

IRC thats how much McKinney motor charges for a RB25DET SWAP.

and have fun putting in a RB26 in a 240sx... a lot of custom stuff, and making things fit.

nocomedown · 05-05-2003, 07:59 PM

i only wish i could

im not rich though

zspturbo · 05-05-2003, 08:18 PM

Im a people who knows people, I can get you an rb26dett front clip for 3k. from a crashed car though.

misnomer · 05-05-2003, 09:09 PM

wow, eight grand for a used motor. There are no bids yet for a reason. . .

andrave · 05-05-2003, 09:20 PM

dude you can get an RB26dett front clip (R-33) anyday for half that if you even bother to check any other engine importer.
As far as the custom work, well, an rb25det and tranny and a single turbo conversion and it wouldn't be much different than an rb25det, which if you read up, isn't too horrible difficult to install if you are mechanically inclined.

i think i heard that the rb25 swap was about $5000 last time i was over there, at McKinney.

second hand info, i dunno for sure, and i don't really care =p

but 5k sounds cheap

nocomedown · 05-06-2003, 07:11 AM

wow, that does seem pretty cheap, but then again i dont really know much about it since i dont have much of a chance of affording one any time soon

i've always heard it'll take modifications to the sump for clearance issues, too, but yeah other than that a single turbo conversaion to clear steering shaft (ever notice how zenitani's car has big ol' twins in that little 180sx? damned RHD peoples)
