im planning to do the rb25det swap into my automatic 240

anyone in south cali familair with this swap and can help out if u got time?
i trying to save some money and do it myself, if possibly.
i plan to get mounts from mckinney
the main concern i have is of the wiring especially for the auto to manual
i plan to rent or borrow tools from friends and shops
main help needed is for the wiring and auto to manual swap
i want the learning experience but also want someone looking over my shoulder helping me out telling me right from wrong

jus fishing around everywhere for any help possible
thanks again guys

 

Where are you located again? I don't have experience with RB25's..but I could help you with the manual conversion(possibly) and somewhat with removing and installing the engine

 

cool thanx, not sure when imma have enough saved for everything tho

i live in arcadia, right down the 210 for u haha

 

why don't u just buy the tools instead of renting them....i got my cherrypicker for 100 bucks from kragen... and a racket set is need for just about everything... or if u really want to save money buy em and then return em....sears never ask questions...

 

haha, i've never really checked up on the prices for the tools, if they are really all that cheap(which i high doubt) i would buy them when im checking the price for the rental

thanks for the info and BTW i think u meant ratchet set?
its not tennis here

 

heh...yea my spelling is horrible....the cherrypicker is really cheap thou...i think it was retailing for 150 when i was gonna buy it and me and the sales guy at kragen were talkin since he noticed i had a rb20 in my truck so he gave me a discounted price since autozone had the picker for 125 so he beat that price by 10 percent or something like that...

also the picker should come in really handy when theres fat passed out ppl in ure house and u needa move em...

 

Too bad I moved to NY, I used to live in Glendora and worked in Duarte. If you need any help or have questions, email me at jbpowell@nycap.rr.com or AIM jonpowellsrb25

 

SR20, PM when you got everything and all ready to do it. I will help ya out as much as I can. I might even be able to bring over some tools, I could even bring my cherry picker if ya want...but I need a truck to get the parts there. Nothing fits in my miata lol

 

i can borrow my dads truck to pick it up, well i think all i really need is someone to help with wiring, kinda want my AC to work

this already sounds fun, and i have the pride in knowing i at least tried myself, plus anyone that helps get experience too

dont know if this will happen anytime soon, depends on how much i can save up, but ill still be on the forums and hopefully everyone else will too

 

When it comes time to wire it, get ahold of me. I will gladly help out.

 

good to hear, thanks for everyone offer to help
im begining to think this swap is gettin farther away tho
jus got laid off...

 

I'm in Mission Viejo So. Cal. Be glad to help you out although I might have childcare issues sometimes. Just email me at jabello@uci.edu when the time comes.

I have a 93 with a rb25 series 1 that I installed so we can look at it for reference.

Sorry about the lay off. Look at the bright side, you got time now to swap unless if you're still needing money for the swap. Sorry.
