i am thinking of doing the RB and i was wondering if i buy the
whole swap you know engine, ecu, tranny, and so on. is there anything else i would have to buy? because all i want to do is drop it in and go from there?
let me know

 

you're gonna have to have a drive shaft made.
and custom mounts

other than that, you ought to be good to go

 

check out 240sxforums.com

in their RB section, i'm pretty sure they have have a parts list and walk through.

 

cool thank you

 

what about an RB20DET?

 

same thing

 

i have to have a custom drive shaft made?
i started to do some research and i can use a KA drive shaft
but i am going to have to get a new fuel pump.

 

from what I remember, you can use the KA drivesahft, but it needs shortened (?)
the RB tranny is alot different than the KA/SR.
and yes, you'll need a new fuel pump.

 

cool, if you guys have anymore infor on this please let me know...and who can shorten the drive shaft fo rme?

 

ok, well aside from using mount kits that are available (mckinney) you could try to source a front clip and use the skyline crossmember. this allows more options for super sweet JDM turbo kits that are other wise useless on an RB swapped 240 w/ Mckinney or custom mounts.

I would also recommend getting an aluminum 1-piece drive shaft made because if you look hard enough you can find places that make em for a very reasonable price (ive heard 150, and to me thats a good price when it holds 350 hp). Besides less rotating mass and faster revs is fun right?

I'm not too sure on how necessary a high flow pump would be, but obviously for HP goals above stock it definately is necessary.

Ultimately, RB swap questions like these have been posted thousands of times on thousands of forums. I'm not harpin, but I am saying a little research goes a LLLLOOOONNNNGGGG way...
