How to swap rb26dett into s14 article in modified magazine.

[777aaron]

Just wondering if anybody checked this out,I'm not usally a modified mag reader but the "how to swap rb26 into s14" caught my eye so I grabbed a copy.Its not near as nice of a swap article as the type that scc does,but it is something.I'm just not sure if something like this will have such affects like scc did when they did the sr20 swap and drove the price of that engine through the roof,just when some of the rb's were starting to seem almost affordable.Oh well,maybe it won't be too bad.

well i was hoping the swap would remain somewhat unique, but looks like it will soon become the next SR.

haha, yeah right.they forgot to mention the obcene cost of the whole swap.unfortunately now every ricer will be trying to sell their civic so they can get a s chassis and put an rb26 in, but oh how little they know.

[wawazat8402]

good, i hope they do. that means in about 6 months i will be able to buy a couple of partially done rb swaps for hella cheap, finish them and make some money for my car.

They skimped on the details. That article sucked hardcore.

I'd have to agree. That article was way too broad. It was more of an article about a swap rather than a how-to. I've got a how-to article for swapping the RB into an S13 that was way more detailed, but still lacked a ton of the info and the costs. I think the RB26 swap will become more common, but not to the extent of the SR swap. If anything, the RB25 swap will more likely become the new popular swap due to the cost becoming fairly close to the SR swap.

Now if TF&TF3 features an RB26 S -chasis, then we're all doomed.

Exactly. Well, at least McKinney gets promo for it. If I were working at their shop I'd be happy as a jay bird.

i'm sure their clueless "looking to get a skyline motor into my s chassis" call volume increased 20 fold

I saw it in a grocery story, flipped throught the pages laughed and told my wife "I know everything about doing this swap now" J.K.

Lmao thats awesome. Death is near to the RB25det when everyone is going to want one. Oh well I guess I can make money off the ricers for some installations. I am just waiting for the nwebs to show up and go "How do I put this rb26dett in my car"? Let the Flaming begin!!!-Alex

u talking about the sport compact car article on a rb25 into a s13??

[enginerd]

I saw that article too. The one I'm referring to was definitely an RB26 into a 240sx. I can't remember, but I think they swapped it into an S14, not an S13. I'll dig up the article and post what magazine and issue it was. I remember they used the McKinney mounts and that they used a rubber mallet to push back a section of the firewall to create a little more clearance.
