rb25det into my 86z31 turbo. either that or a TT fairlady engine. what do you think would be better? anyone know what else i would need besides engine, tranny, ecu? im guessing some fab. and engine mounts and possibly cross member. any help would be good. websites too.

tt z Engine isnt worth the money-

and why swap looking to be diff or just want speed?

you can get speed in your vg30et for alot cheaper than a motor swap-

Those are both very complicated, custom, and involved swaps. RB25 swap has only been done a handful of times that I know of (all overseas), and vg30dett is a very rare swap as well since a stock vg30et can be modded to over 500hp w/ relative ease in comparison to the hassle of the other two motors.

if your gonna do the swap, go with the RB the jap ZR200 was a Z31 with an RB20DET, if you put any RB motor in there your gonna need the oil pan and engine mounts from a ZR200, the ZR hood was a lil different but I am not sure if it is needed for clearance, check for more info at Z31.com
