WOW!good luck on this sounds like you are walking into a dark alley filled with rabid dogs blindfolded...............have you done any research on this swap at all or did you read super street and saw it *could* be done.heres a hint, check out the STUCK topics on the top of this page and use the search button profusely.

where you located in michigan??

[rbsileighty]

Are you with or having work done by the shop that is a merger of God Speed and some other company? That backdrop looks familiar...

How much power do you want/expect... please be realistic... then we can point you toward a clutch

I come down to Farmington on a pretty regular basis if you end up needing help and are located where I think you are...

its called the tuning factory. godspeed merged with autowerks. they are located in farmington hills. i only know because autowerks is swapping my car. all of them, good guys. andy, dragon, jr. from autowerks. i know of jeff and dan from godspeed. they do have a dyno. i think they are having a dyno day like the 22nd or 29th.

im just realizing that there are alot of us from michigan. atleast 5 that i know of now. weird. everyother forum im on has an abundance of crazy califonians.

oh boy...good luck w/ the project!!!!

90+ 300zx non turbo clutch!

btw! please read the posts above this forum.

[NISMO_RB25]

Unless by some miracle you are having your car converted to AWD, or you are using the RB26 transmission, you will be getting an RB25 transmission.

You use the clutch that goes with the transmission, so look at the sponsors >>and one of them will have an RB25DET clutch, and they are around 3-400 if I remember correctly.

You really need to search, because this will be the only time you get an easy answer on this forum from anyone.

Good luck getting the McKinney mounts. I ordered mine befor the engine arrived, the rb25 I got had GT-R mounts. So I had to send them back for the right ones and I have been waiting 3 months for them. And he won't give me my money back so I can get the Top Hat mounts even though I have been waiting for that ling. Get the Top Hats if you want to drive it befor your retirement.

[belowme MI]

It will fit I'm using mckinney motor mounts and driveshaft w/there rewire service & down pipe. It will take about 1 month to put in. I get JDM motors dirt cheap!!! O.....and i live in harrison. Thats 45 min. from midland. I miss living in the detroit area theis town sucks!!!!

Does anyone know where to get a black front mount intercooler I was going to try XS Engineering. I just don't want anyone to see what I have.

And there is a drift event in MI on 10/15/05

i've been thinking of an idea, since the rb25/26 use the Z32 NA clutch, which is smaller diameter than a z32 TT clutch. can you use a tt clutch/flywheel and shave the inner of the bellhousing for it to fit, and put washers on the starter? people do this on the z32NA's to use the stock flywheel off a tt on their NA for added torque. If it were possible, you would have a larger flywheel/clutch which SHOULD hold more torque/hp. just wondering

[belowme MI]

I used to go to autowerks "NEVER Payne" There is another company that Igo through. O....the back drop is circut city in saginaw. I moved far away from that area tooooo many problems with the REDLINE people.Maybe you guys can tell me why most people with honda civics are such a**holes. I mean it's good to like your car, But to force your likings on someone it's just not right. I had a peral white 300zx TT, just a**holes all of them.

O how do you put pics under your words thanks

[JDMEnthused]

erm, sounds like he will have his hands full for quite some time ( not too long).. good luck though..

if im right the NA clutch will bolt up to the RB26.. they are about the same size if not, THE same size.

[T4 RB25det]

Ive never had any problems with any of the redline peopleanyway good luck

[lucky7]

redline ppl are good ppl IMO. tom and his s/c S2k. that car is amazingly beautiful. best s2k ive ever seen. all around decent guys as far as im concerned. autwerks/tuning factory is doing my swap. andy has a 530 whp accord. they have also owned an R33 GTR. frankly, i trust them to do anything i wish to my car. i had them swap a B16 into my civic like 2.5 years ago. the thing still runs strong with no issues whatsoever. i dunno man. i say EFF payn, ive had a few bad experiences with those guys. but autowerks, dragon cracks me up, andy knows wtf is going on. now they are teamed with dan from godspeed. the master tuner from what ive heard. people have come in from out of state for the individual shops. now that they have merged, i can see people comming from out of state fairly consistantly. i bet you will see plates from all over the place in due time. best of luck to the guys, although i doubt they will need it.

just my half assed review of a great "new" shope.

[belowme MI]

I like Dragon, Andy and everyone else from Autowerks, they did all of the work on my 300. As far as I'm concerned if merging with another company gives them more tuning access then I'm all for it. I've never had a problem with the guy who has the s2000, just other people there.

[rbsileighty]

O how do you put pics under your words thanks

Host the pic and put it inbetween this [IMG][/IMG]

Or attach it...

I don't really know anything about the shops up here, but I stopped by the new Tuning Factory place last month to pick up a turbine inlet gasket and the guy tried to sell it to me for $30... was not to happy about that. I told him there's no way they are that much, so he made a phonecall and came down to $15. They were nice... but trying to rip me off wasn't to cool.

They told me they have 2 26 swaps and a few 20 swaps going on... should be interesting if it is true.

I'd say you have 2 options for clutches:

or

I'd fork the extra $ for the sprung and I would go with the Exedy since it is full face and holds about the same tq... just some friendly advice

Thanks. I'm putting this in myself total cost so far (i'm at) $5,500

That's motor w/transmissionMckinney motor mounts, driveshaft, harness rewire & down pipe

All I need now is oil pan, fmic, fuel pump & clutch (maybe)

[lucky7]

that i know of, they are doing 2 RB25 swaps. my kouki, and another guys kouki. havnt heard of any 20 swaps though. havnt been there in a while. saving more $. also, incase anyone was wondering. they do infact have an in-house dyno.

I've ordered my McKinney mounts for my RB26 through Underground Motorsports...

Great service!!, got them within 2 weeks (and i live in Israel...)Chris is a great guy, i reccomand ordering from him...

the swap should take 1 month if you spend only weekends on it, but you can finish it in less then a week if you'll be working on it daily...

[s14 2510's]

The stock 26 pan should fit if you cut the diff off, trim some off one spot on the bottom and shim or have a custom sway bar made and you are set why get a diferent oil pan the 26 pans are way better. I had my 26 pan on my s14 when the engine was in there. Who in here has a 26 running with a rb25/20 oil pan and how many miles have you put on it.

[belowme MI]

I'm going to have xs engineering build me one along with a black intercooler
