[rbsileighty]

Where did you get that? It's never been to the track...

Very nice, Im looking into an RBXX swap and after seen the work that you have done to your hatch I was wondering if you can answer a couple of questions....(Ill bump your thread??? )

ok....

what made you go for an RB20 instead of a SR??

what major modifications are needed to the engine bay in order to get the RB20 in there??? i.e. cutting, etc...

Can the factory AC, PS,etc systems be kept after the swap??

thanks, nice car...

talk about back from the dead. haha.

[Yellow4g63]

Yeah no ****. The new guy didn't even read the RB FAQ. Asking such a simple question. Well I might as well tell him how it's done. 1st you have to take the dash out of the 240 and cut the firewall to make room for the Trans and the motor. Its a Inline 6 it won't fit anyother way. Then you bolt it up to the stock motor mounts and plug in your engine harness. Don't worry about the missing or extra plugs it will still run good enough till you get it to a dyno. Then after the Dyno tune it should be making around 300hp at 6psi.

Yeah it'll make 300hp at 6psi but only 200ft-lbs of torque so you gotta be sure to turn that boost up to atleast 18psi for the stock turbo to put out good torque numbers. Good luck!

[Shocker]

if your lucky you might hit 301hp... its never been done yet, but who knows. you might be the first!

You can have a/c, look at that resivor next to his airfilter thats the freon storage tank you will need to run one of those.

Thanks for all that posted positive responses, for the negative ones: The first question is specific and directed to the thread creator...The other two are nowhere in the FAQs, dont be so quick replying with smart a** responses, you kids wasting the forums band by doing this. Go back to play NFS...and stay in your room.
