Just seen one 2 weeks ago. Custom motor mounts , custom piping, alum radiator, fmic, etc, INSTALLTION!!! Guy said he spent $3600 for the motor and about $3900 for everything else. Pretty stout. Beautiful install. Can't remember the name of the custom parts manufacturer. Ran a 13.9 e.t. at the tracks. First time ran. Finished swap 3 days earlier. Watched him crash into a guardrail the next day at the drift session. too much power , to soon.

Hey Jonpowell...where did you get all the belts and water pump from? I was getting mine from Afterdark, but you know the story.

Post by **JonPowell** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

I got them from a friend in Okinawa, if you are interested, email me and I will see if I get them for you also. What prices did they give you for them?

Post by **y3llows14** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

Are you talking about Afterdark? They scammed my money, never sent my belts S15 conversion or a refund. How long does it take to get the belts? Does any belts in the U.S fit the ac and power steering belt etc? I gots to give props to Venus-Auto for hooking me with such a clean RB25 btw.

where did you get your engine from. The places i've been looking at are aroung $3200

Actually, what suppliers would you guys recommend and how much are their clips. I'm kinda hesitant on getting a motorset since it will be missing a lot of bits and pieces

Post by **y3llows14** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

I dont got a digital camera right now. I need to borrow my friend's digital camera then I will take some pics, maybe even with the finished work. Venus-Auto was really cool, my clip came with a messed up intercooler core and missing MAF (i dont know how), but they fixed everything quick.

Post by **JonPowell** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

I got it from a guy who doesnt want to import RB's anymore. It was the last one he had and he just wanted to get rid of it....Kinda got lucky there but I did get kinda screwed when the head blew up. Still waiting for a replacement under warranty.

Post by **T_love** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

How much does Venus sell their clips for?

Post by **spec-v5150** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

1500-rb202500-rb25

Post by **y3llows14** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

The Rb25 went up...its like $2800 now. I dunno about the Rb20 though.

Post by **T_love** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

Damn, i better get mine before the prices skyrocket.

Post by **BobbyRay** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:06 pm

8 months ago, 1500$ for a rb25 clip at venus.

its too late. prices have already skyrocketd. expect it to get worse as the motor gets harder to find.

And that's what makes this swap special. :P
