RB26 S13 with a Greddy plenum - going RHD?

[onefastrb26]

Hi guys, I pulled my engine to go single turbo, bigger clutch, and to install my polished Greddy intake manifold.I'd love to go rhd since the engine is out, and the rhd will give me all the extra room for the downpipe and wastegate.But has anybody seen if the Greddy plenum will clear the clutch master cylinder when going rhd?

Nobody with a RHD S13 and RB26?

No body here i dont think, and good luck with that, converting from LHD to RHD is a *****, and we've tried it before and looked into all the work it requires and its completely not even worth it.

get a hold of ope, he has an rb20 and a HB with a RHD conversion, he is a member of racebread.com, im not sure if hes on nico forums tho. good luck

Some guy on 240sxfourms.com has one with a 26 in it. I dont think he still talks on there mutch more. He got too far over his head into parts and lost hope in the rb swap program. citroman or something like that is his chat name. He hasn't talked on there for a while now. gave up all hope and wanted to sell his s13 with tore apart rb26 for like 17k. he had hella parts.

His name was ctnewman and yes, he had an RB26 RHD s13 but ended up WAY over his head and tried to part it out. I think he lost a small fortune in the end.

I just threw in a NEO6 RB25 into my S13 Silvia with greddy mani. It does clear the bread master. There are 2 kinds of break master cyl's on S13's though. There is a kind with the chamber all in the same piece and there is another kind with a shorter snout with seperated canister. It will fit no problem at all with the cyl with the seperate chamber. I also got a S13 Silvia convertible that I threw in a SR20 with the Greddy intake and it had the long snout with the canister on top but all I did was throw a few washers under the engine mount and I cut off the bleeder nipple on the master cyl and tiged the little hole and its damn close but still not enough torque to hit it. Both ways work well. Here are some pictures of the RB25 in the Silvia and the SR20 in the silvia and picture of the nipple cut off the cyl.

Hope this helps.

BTW changing to RHD is a bit of work. Ive never seen anyone do it. Keep me posted. You should add me to your MSN messanger if you got it!!!



this is without cuting the nipple or raising the engine mount.

Thats him. I want to find him and get his aem ems form him becase that system is bomb and they are 1750 the cheapest i can find. He said he didnt want to part it the last post I saw he made.

I decided to wait on the RHD conversion for now. I will just do my HKS turbo kit, Greddy manifold, and fuel system for now.

On the RHD: looks like the clutch master will be VERY close to the Greddy plenum. Also, the power steering lines might not clear the RB26 oil pan

My friends S1 RB25 RHD hits the clutch master cylinder too. I'll tell him to look out for another kind since he had the mounts shimed to tilt the motor a lil bit so it would clear.

[jdms13rhd]

yep^^^ but also remember there is 2 kinds of master cyls. I will take a picture of one and show you the diffrence. The other kind wont need any mods and will let the greddy mani fit just fine. But the way I did also works good too unless your mounts are worn out than I would amagin that it could hit when under a large load.

[jdms13rhd]

also power stering lines will fit with rb26 pan. Needs to be moded a touch to fit up with the lines from the pump but thats all. Ive done a few rb's into S13's

Just for your information, a skyline (which was never a LHD so custom stuff but still) Skyline Shop charges between 10k-15k plus 2 months for a RHD - LHD. If you were gonna get someone else to do it........move to Canada and get a RHD 180sx or silvia, haha it'll be cheaper but colder...!

that's the worthless post i've ever seen.

anyhow, from the look of the picture above, unless you have solid mounts, otherwise engine movement under high torque will break that mstr cylinder.

[jdms13rhd]

ya. My sr is pretty stock and mounts are good and I have never had it touch the master cyl ever. But with anything over 300hp you will want the other short snout master cyl

$12k is a steal, but a lot of people just don't have that much coin to throw around.
