anyone rb26 into sc300??

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

Wow never even thought of that swap! NiceI guess every one figuresSC300 = NA-T

Take the 2JZGE and swap it into the S14. Then make it a 2JZ NA-T.That would be awesome to see. Two cars trading souls!::evil laugh::

- Fitting the RB26 shouldn't be an issue at all. Mounting it might need some fab work.- Fitting an RB25 (5speed) trans shouldn't be a problem... again more fab work- Wiring harness needs to be seriously tweaked- Fuel line needs to be shortened- Factory SC300 throttle cable needs to be replaced for a much longer one- Also the RB26 throttle cable bracket might need to be slightly altered- Maybe a new clutch line (if the fittings on the RB25 slave cylinder are diffrent from the the W58 slave cylinder fitting- Battery Relocation- New: Drive shaftFuel pumpFMIC piping

I am sure I missed a bunch of stuff.

ok, rational thinking here. The swap would be a pain. cost quite a bit to fab/parts whatever. So my two cents is keep the 240 as is, and build a 2jzt for the sc300. sure you have to buy a motor and parts but its mostly DIY. Then youd have two beasts.

I do believe that Phoenix's Power, in Japan, did a rb26 swap on one of their Soarers in the past. Of course this was a bit ago. I saw this on an older Option vid. You could totally do this swap! Go for it, and post pics! I endorse this thread!!
