Hey guys, I was wondering if it would be possible/feasible to do an R34 Skyline RB26DETT swap into the G as an alternative to the GTM TT setup. I saw a couple of these motors on Ebay and I was just curious. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

it'll cost more than doing the gtm tt setup imo.

 

Yeah I kind of figured that since a lot of modification would be required to make it work with left hand drive. But that motor is serious!!

 

Anything can be done with enough money. You will end up spending twice as much money and have no support. You car will also be out of commission for at least 2-3 months. If you ever were going to do a motor swap, why RB26? Go for a LS7

 

If i'm sticking a different 6 cyl, i'd go with a 2JZ. No idea oh how well its gonna fit though lol.

 

since when did drivers seat position have any effect on a motor swap? I have seen this done in a 350z.. is it pricey? sure.. just depends how hardcore you want to get.. 2jz and RB motors can easily make 600-800 hp safely.. and then with a good tuner you can keep on rasiing that number.. then again if you are going to spend that much cash you might as well just build your VQ motor from top to bottom and run some massive single turbo setup

 

I got a Honda 2 cycle you can pop in there.

 

Yeah I agree with you 100%, plus wiring might also be a big issue. I was just curious because I always felt that Nissan should've stuck with an inline-6 like Toyota and BMW. But after researching the GTM TT threads a lot more, I see that our VQ motor is VERY VERY capable!

 

LMAO!!!!!!!

 

whats the point? i rather take the labor/parts money and get a VR38DETT (not just the engine).

 

Very smart.. you're going from a 3.7 V6 to a 2.6 I6

Just get her built and boosted at GTM and call it a day

 

^^ I agree with Sam 1000000%

 

Agree, you could have a stage bazillion GTM TT for the cost of that swap

 

That would be insanely absurd to do. You're taking a motor that debuted ages ago and plopping it into a Chassis that's been out for two years. If you had an older car like a 280z or a 240sx, than go for it. Drivablilty goes way down the drain once you go all out on custom swaps. (I know first hand, I have an SR20DET swapped 240sx). It just would not be that fun of a daily driver.

I would just stick with the GTM kit or fab up something yourself. Much more cost effective and it saves you from dropping in a 20 year old engine into your new chassis.

 

So 500RWHP at 10PSI isn't serious enough for you?

....thats just the Stage II of the GTM
