Possible to stuff RB25 into a late model 97 240?

[ExpectingSR20DET]

I love the concept of actually stuffing that beast of a motor into that light and old of a chassis, but the styling isn't on point to me.. they look good just not my style, but the newer S14 late model headlight style I love.. can I put that into the S14?

u can do anything with $ and time, mckinney motorsports i think its called specializes in rb swaps into the s1X chassis. they have the mounts and the info, search the magazine archives too, its been talked about a lot in the past year

funny thing. i was talking to my mechanic friend (the one who built my car) and we saw the title for this thread. he made mention about how hard it would be to get the ECU working properly. he said that the ECU was different in the last few years. I'm assuming that's cause of the change to ODBII. Check with McKinney (yes that's what they're called) and see if they can splice those harnesses or not

why would it be hard for the ecu to work? if u use the rb engine harness and the rb ecu where is the problem?

Well.. there is no reason the ECU should have a problem since you are using OBDI engine, OBDI wiring harness, and an OBDI ECU. The KA harness is just used for plugs so the wires lines up for power, you use the RB harness for the engine operation.

First off. Visit the boys at http://www.supertunermotorsports.com. They specialize on only the RB to 240 swaps. They have a kit the fits the s13/14. They have whole kits for less than the mckinny mounts cost. They are REAL good quallity too. e-mail them and they will get back to you on any questions you have. Brian (one of the owners) has an RB25 powered s14 done with thier kit. They have a wiring harness deal too so you can have a complete "plug-n-go" harness that connects to all the stock gauges and everything. Checkem out. They know thier stuff.
