i hear that when installing a rb into a s13 there might be a problem with the steering rack. is this true?

 

Some people have a clearance problem, some dont. The Turbo elbow might knock on the steering rack, Custom mounts or a little shaving will do the trick

 

I swear after going through this thread countless times, I'm STILL undecided as to what route I'm going to take again.

dammnit.

But at the same time, all the info or opinions are really building up a pro/con list for all 3 motors.

So keep going

bro.. you saying if we drop rb20 will directly down and bolt in without using any modifying the engin mount? and what about the driveshaft?

 

That fits too.

 

just use the r32/r33 crossmember and mounts and it bolts right into car. the s13/s14 shaft fits perfect and the only mdification you'll have to do is the hood skeleton needs to be cut.

 

If anything needs to be cut, slotted, or shaved, it shouldn't be a "perfect fit" IMO.

 

i agree.

 

unless we change cross over type intake manifold to Greddy high flow intake manifold, then we dont need to shave or cut hood skeleton, right? or best way is to replace the engine mount?

 

With engine mounts its even better. Greddy doesn't make one for the rb20.

It is a perfect fit..... and if you want to get ******** about it, niether is the sr or ca because you have to cut and splice wires.

 

what about the harness for rb20 or rb25? will it fit straight in or do need to buy one?

 

ROFL splicing wires is a lot easier than cutting the skeleton of your hood. And I never said anything about the SR or CA.

As if the RB wiring harness is a straight drop in as well? Or how about the gauge cluster?

******** or not.

 

Yea the RB might need a little more work then a SR, but evryone knows the RB owns the SR so shut up about this hehe

 

werd how would u go by wiring up a harness to fit into a s13 from a rb?

 

Go on www.nissaninfiniticlub.net and search for the wiring guide to the rb20/25 into s13. there is a few of them.

I don't know about you but a air saw, cutting wheel, die grinder works faster than stripping, crimping, soldering, heat shrinking, sheathing, and taping.

I never said the rb harness was bolt in I said if you wanted to get into semantics none of these swaps are a perfect fit.
