Im very happy in the sense that the RB swap has the ability to scare alot of people away because there are no retarded how-to step by step guides out there.

all the information you need can be found by searching and just reading the forum.

a good site to get started so you can get an idea of what is ahead of you before hand would be a great writeup I saw a long time ago on ign.com...check it out. Don't remember exact link but go to google and type something like rb25 in s14 and it should come up. I think the title was something like how to swap rb25 or something.

following that check the faq sticky on this forum then do searches

good luck with the swap if u decide to go with it.

ok ty i'm not asking for someone to hold my hand but i remember seeing a very detailed write up somewhere but i cant seem to recall where but thanks guys and i'll be suer to keep everyone updated when i get going

haha, very detailed write up........that would take all the fun out of the swap! I think the easiest way to do this would be to buy all your pieces pre-made (mounts, harness, etc..) and then get the RB25 FSM. There's a detailed section on engine removal, follow that in reverse. Assuming that you properly preped the RB and didn't destroy most of your old KA stuff upon removal, you should have no problem.

Honestly that about as concise as you are going to find, everyones already said it, but the info is out there just scatttered...

premade stuff is also about 1000$ more expensive lol

could i get the rb25det front clip from jdm-online and convert an automatic 93 240sx into a right side drive maunal with this clip package???

[Joe]

no.

a skyline is not a 240sx. you cant use the clip to convert to rhd.

I used the stickie up top to install my RB. If you have the slightest mechanical ability its easy. The only problem I ran into was the wiring, it took me 1 day to install the motor and everything and 2 days to wire and start it. I wiried it right the first day, but I forgot to plug the starter power wire on to the starter.

You need a Silvia clip (SR20) to have the right parts to convert a 240 to RHD. A friend of mine did it with a S13 coupe. He happened to get a clip with a perfect dash and door panels, so he did it. Had to cut the firewall out and weld it into the 240.This is his website http://www.slidestyle.net

that one comes with a rb25 transmission, so it would be RWD.

p.s. that swap needs about $5000 worth of other **** to make it work. you WILL spend $10,000 on parts alone for a Rb26 swap.

Yes.. but you will have Gawdzilla lurking under your hood waiting to breath fire with the slightest flick of the accelerator pedal!!!

no, youll have about 300whp.

[Eikon]

no, youll have about 300whp.

Yeah, but my version of 300 whp so waaaaayy cooler than your version. Plus the RB26 will make the fanboys wet themselves!Even more.. If you have a RB26 you can put a GTR badge on your 240sx!

eh ill save myself the 6000$ and put it into the rb25. and have 400+whp, daily driven. and still have 2k leftover lol

I've got pictures of the wiring on my photobucket.

They are labelled according to the steps in the "RB25DET into S13" writeup on RaceBread and sticky'd in this forum. I also added my own installation notes and re-wrote a copy of the write up wiring portion. Hit me up on AIM if you want it.

EDIT: I realized my pictures don't mean squat without my writeup - since i refer to colored plugs. The RB Grey plug is where the "Injector power" wire is located -that was the main hangup I had.
