Found these on Ebay. The price is insane but they're nice to look at. Does anyone have info on how hard it would be shoe-horn that into a 240?

I have been told the TT RBs and VGs will not fit in the 240. Only the Single Turbo engines. I know for sure Unstable-Hybrids got the RB20DET, and VG30DET (or was was it VG30ET). It seems to be that the TTs tak up too much space, I am not sure why they could fit (I am thinking it has to do with the steering column, but don't take my word on it).

Yeah, it was a VG30ET

zephyr · 06-19-2002, 04:12 PM

i've seen a vg30dett in a 240 before, i dunno what you guys are talking about

BadMoJo · 06-19-2002, 05:36 PM

the vg30dett requires quite a few mods to jam in there, Its possible but not worth it i think. Just put the RB25DET in there or an RB26DETT with a single turbo conversion and its all good.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

From what i hear the LHR Stearing columb messes it up for the working in a 240, u have to heavely mod your car, its possable but will cost arond 15k

jay · 06-19-2002, 09:21 PM

I've seen a VG30dett in a 240 but it was heavily modified. You need a custom hood for clearence, motor mounts etc. What is the weight difference between RB and the SR? I wonder if it would affect driveability and how dependable it would be to drive in anything other than a straight line. The skylines have a 4wd drive-train for a reason. Especially if you mod those RB's and turn up the boost.

Wow thats way kewl, you got any pics>?

BadMoJo · 06-20-2002, 01:41 AM

with the RB26 you just use the RB25 tranny and it works fine, and the steering clearance prob would be solved if you go with a single turbo.
