I think we could use a compilation of all the parts that are swappable between the rb20, 25, and 26. So far I know that there are a couple different parts that swap between the rb20 and 25... but I know there are more... heres the few that I know....

RB20 and RB25 downpipes are the same

RB20 and RB25 turbos can be swapped

RB20 and RB25 turbo manifolds are the same

RB26 injectors can be used in the RB20 wit a resistor

RB25 transmission can be used wit an RB26 to eliminate the AWD

****And I know that u can use the RB26 rods and crank in the RB20 block not sure about wat else....****

So guys if u know of any swappable parts please post them up here so we can answer the questions and have a post dedicated to them.. and Ill try to organize all the info and post it up a sticky in the future.

good idea, however, the problem with how the thread will be is that it won't have the tech background that is required. A thread that links to other threads that cover those specific parts would do much better, similar to the sticky above.

ie: Valve Covers/Rocker covers can be interchanged between the RB20, 25, and 26. However, that info isn't enough as you will need to know:

A cross over intake manifold will not clear RB26 valve covers. As well, the front cover for the RB26 will need the rear cam gear timing plate to fit properly. A hole will need to be cut out over the intake cam gear to allow the retaintion of the VCT of the RB25 (if using a RB25DET Head/engine).

just my .02$ but think this idea has some win.
