i have read through some of the faqs and what not, but im just wanting to know how exactly it can be done. i have the rb20 using the ka xmember with jgy motor mounts. the tach is already calibrated for the 20. i will be keeping the 20 trans for the 25. so my question is can i use the 20 mounts or does nobody really have a for sure answer.

Its all the same. You can use the same mounts.

i got the same setup as sohcslammed only ive got mckinney mounts instead.what differences are there with wire harness and ecus? i know the pinout is essentially the same across all rb ecus so can u just get an rb25 ecu and plug the rb25 into the 20 harness or are there more complications?

no you need to swap harnesses, it uses different injectors plugs, and it has vtc

I may require a different length drive shaft though, as the 20 and 25 trannys are different, the 25 is alot bigger than the 20. You can use a 240sx drive shaft with the RB20, but you cant with the 25. You said your using the 20 transmission though so you may be ok.
