So yeah I picked up a complete RB20DET motorset from japanmotorimport.com for 1200 bucks and this thing is in perfect condition. Compression is green across the board and it is clean. So I am finally getting around to removing my SOHC KA24E motor and replacing it. Dont know if you all are aware of this site but they sell motor mount and tranny crossmember adapters for sr20, rb 20,25,26tt they also sell oem nissan waterpumps and one peice steel driveshafts for conversions " no welding!" the website is mckinneymotorsports.com. But besides that I am getting down and dirty with my conversion and just wanted to know from people who have done RB swaps before if there are any things i should watch out for like bolts not fitting holes not lining up crap like that.

 

i dont see why you would go rb 20 and not 25 but good luck with that.

 

because the rb25 was 2500 but i got the rb20 for 1200 it was a matter of funds

 

Good luck.

 

i heard the oil passages suck and that they are a i6 version of the ca18

 

rb 20 is a fat ass , but rep to u for throwing out the one cam wonder.

 

Mckinney is the best as far as bolt-in RB solutions. You certainly went to the right place. The RB20 isn't the most potent RB platform, but for $1200 and perfect compression, it sounds like you came out pretty good. It'll easily make twice the power that the your old single cam made.

 

I'll take your old sohc off your hands if you have no use for it.

 

I'll give you congrats for the cheap good running engine. It will be more fun than the one that used to be in there.
