I see that Night7Racing sells the motor mount kit which is what im gonna pick up if I go RB20 but where can i get things like downpipes and test pipes? Also, can i use the S13 Greddy V-SPL intercooler kit or will i have to custom make all the piping?
Thanx
Dustin

 

YOU CAN USE THE R32 OR R33 V-SPL KIT AND IT'LL WORK BUT NOT THE S13 SR ONE AS IT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT PIPING ROUTES. ANY R32 OR R33 DOWNPIPE WILL WORK WITH THE SWAP, AND YOUCAN USE A S13 TEST PIPE WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS.

DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM NIGHT7RACING UNLESS YOU PLAN ON GETTING RIPPED OFF.... OHH AND I BOUGHT THOSE MOTOR MOUNTS AND THEY DIDN'T WORK FOR ME.

 

New to the game are we? Might want to do a search on a few forums before you send him your money. Mckinney has mounts for the RB20 too. They fit alot better than nights/TopHat mounts.

 

Or get a swap with a crossmember and ditch the mount kit idea. I don't plan on messing with the motor mounts unless I have to on my swap, and even in that case they look easy enough to modify the existing motor brackets instead of blowing $500 on a kit. That can get you a nice T3/T4 upgrade instead

 

maybe. My motor set came with the R32 Xmember. I was just goin to use that and bolt it up. Then I saw some pics of peoples and the motor sat a little high and the hood brace had to be cut off. It seemed a little too "Ghetto" for me. So I tossed the Xmember away and bought mounts that took for ever to get to me!. I wish Mckenny had them but I couldn't wait any longer.

 

I was looking at my motor mount brackets on the RB and was thinking about removing th slotted plates, cutting the brackets shorter, and then rewelding the plates placing the motor lower and back a little more. I can just slot and space the rear tranny brace to fit from there.

 

Is Mckinney a board member or a name of a shop? Do u have a link as to where i can get the mounts from there? Thanx for the info on the intercooler

 

Mckinney Motorsports, they offer swaps and mount kit's, etc. They were out of everything last time I looked at their site.

 

I think there sight is down. Best be would be to give them a call.

 

are you guys saying I cant install my RB without cutting into my hood brace and making the job look like a hacked up mess???? that would really **** me off. I thought I could use the stock motor mounts and just modify my Xmember. if anybody could give me a DETAILED answer I would be greatfull. remember talk slow and use little words, your dealing with a chevy guy here, I am not that quick on the up-take with this import stuff yet.
