RB26 swap!

 

We have done two of these, one of which is completed and out on the streets, and the other is just waiting for the ecu. One is a stock setup with front mount and exhaust. At stock boost it made 219whp and was pretty quick. At 14psi, it was faster than a twin turbo and noticeably more nimble. The other one is set up for 400-450whp and should fly. Other great advantages to this swap is it frees up engine bay room making it easier to work on, and it is a generally more reliable/ easier to work on engine. I personally would just go with a 240sx just cause its simpler and lighter, but if you like the 300zx, this is a great alternative. Plus you can make just as much hp on a SR as you can on a VG30DETT all well keeping the car light and have a very different and interesting setup. Both cars we did were '93 2+2, so it would be even better in a 2 seater.

 

Just realize how much effort your wasting on calculating your oxymorons when you could realize this simple math equasion.


(SR+Z32) < (SR+S13)

 

thanx for info tkrskyline i spoke to DOUG the other day from zfever. you own this establishment right? As you ocan see from the weight research the Z would actually weigh in at only 104 lbs heavier. not bad not bad at all(but keep in mind that i am comparing the weights of the Zcarwith a SR20det and a 240with a KA24.. not with a sr20 ...... so my numbers might me wrong ...

thanx for you OPINION slash.... i am just showing what the weight would be compaired to another car with a sr20 in it .. not which is the better car. or which is faster... just that the z32 with a sr swap is a lighter more nimble opition compaired to the beefy twin-turbo.. granted with the tt you have the posssibality of tons and tons of hp BUT with the drifting coming around and the cult like folowing of the 240 with the sr swap .. you still have a massive aftermarket ocean to go fishing in .. just think of the possible outcomes.....oh and the whole oxymoron..thing come on just think about it it is a way to make the 300zx a not so much better car but to improve on a nearly perfect platform... 300-400lbs lighter, nearly 50:50 weight ratio with the swap.. having a diffrent outlook compaired to the few guys/girls with the twinturbo zcar.. i mean the guys from zfever have been working on the zcar for forever and a day and "theskyline" is i think the owner and from what he says with just the bonk stock sr with a FMIC and a exhaust it is fasterand more nimble than the tt.... hit me up with options for my z thanx.. oh by the way the reason that i dont buy a 240 is that i just dont want a "ME TOO!" car .. that seems to be the new title that it has stolen from the civic....

AND THAT IS MY OPINION on the 240

Z-fever has been around for awhile. There are a few people named DOUG there. The main person that answers the phone and runs the business is DOUG. And then there are other guys that work in the shop also. Isn't it martin that actually performas the sr20det swap into the z32 there? Instead of going on forever on this subject why dont you speak to him about it or visit the shop and see one in progress? Most Z guys personally are going to tell you not to do it and stick with the v6 it was made for. The 240 guys are going to say sell the Z and put an sr into the 240,what the sr is meant for. Not too many Z's are known for ripping it up on the drift courses. It was made for the track.

 

Well, I just think that your thinking about this WAY to much... Squabbling over MINOR problems in weight, and then as YOU said... Blowing them into "Signifigant differences"

Basically your just blowing things way out of preportion...

If you want a Z, just get the simple JWT or stillen 400hp packages and be happy...
If u want an S13 then buy an S13.......

 

I am not the owner...I just work at Z Fever. Doug Mitchell is the owner. Martin is our resident SR guru. The main reason I like the SR option of the TT is the reliablity and the cost of fixing the TT engine. The weight reduction is another great plus. Really the only thing the TT has on an SR is a little more torque and smoothness.

 

the mass of the vg that consumes the engine bay does look pretty mean though, do whatever you want, and whatever will fit the type of driving you do and like to do the best. From an economical standpoint, i'd get the SR. Your car is an expression of YOU!

 

Doug Mitchel is the one that i orginally recieved the email from when i was asking about the tt swap.. he was the one that turned me on to the sr swap....I would like to go over to Zfever and take a look at a swap in progress adn speak to martin..

one of the reasons that i am thinking about this way to much is because i just want to make sure that this is something that i definatly want to do with my car. Asking other peoples opinions is just a way for me to find out what they think what the pluses are and what the negatives are

i appreciate your opinion once again slash.I only have 1question why does everyone with a s13 swap out parts for the parts from a z32?but none can swap out parts from a s13,s14,s15 into a z32? ya know stirr it up a bit..... just food for thought..

1) 50:50 weight ratio.....not bad for just a swap
2) bone stock only 100lbs than a s14( rivaling the theory that the z32 is such a heavy car.) people just dont like it
3)looking at the faces of the people that are saying why in teh hell did you swap a SR20det in ?!!!!!
4) watching themm in dismay when i make a sub-14 sec run with a sr in the engine bay.... er

just comparing the weight/power from the z32(na) Vs. a z32(sr).
