Is it possible to swap a RB25det into a 96 200sx? is it the same as the 240sx?

anything is possible with enough money, time, and people to do custom work for you.

just like my buddy's 2JZ Mx-6. he mocked up a supra rear end to his mx-6 and converted it to RWD.

you have to be a bit more specific. usdm 200sx or otherpartsoftheworlddm 200sx?

an rb won't fit in a usdm 200sx engine bay transversely, nevermind the transmission. in a rwd set-up, you would have to hack up the firewall, not to mention all the other modifications required to convert to rwd.

in an s-chassis 200sx, it would be the same procedure as any other rb swap into an s-chassis.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, what is it??? Is it a USDM 200SX (Sentra coupe), or a JDM 200SX (240sx body).
