Post by **Gaap repz** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:55 pm

i have 2 friends, one who owns a 04'maxima se and one who owns a 04'altima 2.5s. they both want to drop a rb26dett motor in their cars..i dont think this is a good idea, well thats my opinion..what do you guys think?

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:55 pm

first off do they feel like converting to rwd? because thats what going to have to happen.

WERD. Do peopel think about stuff liek that before they ponder things liek that. How would you convert a car to RWD anyway????

Tell your ricer friends they are 'retarded' and it won't work. The whole problem lies in the fact that both said cars use a transverse mount engine and transaxle whereas the RB is a longitudinal mount engine and transmission. If you knew ANYTHING about cars, you would see the dilemma here...

You would have to hollow out a transmission tunnel, weld custom mounts for the transmission and engine, weld a new crossmember, make the necessary mods for it, possibly extend your front end, and then figure out how to put a rear differential assembly and K-frame in the back end....needless to say, a lot of work and a lot of money. The 04 Maxima is already quick enough...tell him to keep it and if he's really greedy for HP to buy some turbos.

Night

Come on now, we are talking at least 30K easy, just to prepare the chassis. The engine bay is NOT long enough to even hold an RB in it. Now we are talking additional firewall work here. In the end you would have one incredibly hacked up car, that probably isn't very streetable, unless you re-engineer the entire thing. The K members will not bolt, they have entirely different suspension systems. You would be better off building a tube chassis car from scratch... ...or at least starting with a RWD car...

I thought the AWD RB26 was transverse...Maybe I'm just ill-informed...

It's been done. You forget that sr's also come transverse or are you just as stupid as the thread starter?

thanks, has anyone ever done a rb26 in a 240sx conversion?

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:55 pm

THERE ARE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE IT. THE AWD IS THE NEXT INSTALL TO HAPPEN, SOMEBODY WILL DO IT.

Post by **AREITU** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:55 pm

Somebody IS doing it, FYI. Ask JCAP Tuning. Just in case some of you other guys were wondering...

Post by **AREITU** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:55 pm

Yes, that's an RB26 in a 350Z. NICO won't let me UL more than 300x300 images.

The following are 4g63 Civic, and an RWD Civic.

Post by **AREITU** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:55 pm

It's real. It runs, throws no codes, etc.
