I've been in a pretty bad mood the past couple of days and I just want to say "thank you." You made me laugh hard enough that I had forgotten some of the dumb s*** for a few minutes.

That post killed any credability in your knowledge. IF you knew anything about cars you would know how 100% totally different the two AWD systems are. CJ told you its a transversly mounted AWD. You come back by asking if a 26 would be easyer since AWD is already there.... Your nuts. What you just said is like saying can i put a rb26 sideways in a integra gsr and just use the b16 tranny instead.TablezZ wrote:Your right. I did not care to much that its AWD but if its easier, what about swaping with a RB26 then? The whole thing is having an RB 25 or 26 in an A4.
Hmmm, you might have just gave me my next swap idea (except I would use an Audi CVT tranny because using the B16 tranny would just be silly of course )synergy wrote:What you just said is like saying can i put a rb26 sideways in a integra gsr and just use the b16 tranny instead.

Wow this just keeps getting better and better!TablezZ wrote:Firs of all I am not a big fan of American cars. To think of using that trans sucked. The reason i posted it was a question. Sorry about not being clear. I would like to hear what people might think and have to help me out bc I am noob to not swaps but to this swap. SR easy not hard. Been there. RB series I am new too. I love the engine though, so I am learning as much as I can but I have never done a swap using RB. I like the RB better then 2JZ me prefrance. Any suggestion on what trany to use then. Z06 is not going to work it looks like BlaH!
The RB25 trans is fine. It typically holds more power than most will put down, and the gearing is pretty decent to boot. There are plenty of people running over 500whp reliably with it.TablezZ wrote:Well this is just awful. I dudnt want to come off cocky. Ok earlier post were stupid. Got excited and threw ideas out there kool. Heres what i wanna do: put RB26DET in IS300. Thats all. I was reading that yes the 25 trans is good but not achieve full potential that the engine can offer. True false? Idk hey instead of trying to say how stupid i am how about educating me then. Im just saying if you can help then help. What r u suggesting be a good trans with the RB26DETT?
