sorry to keep asking you all these stupid questions like this... but would it be possible for you to purchase an s14a and do the rb25det swap and do all the stuff for tuning and such and then sell it to me? or do you just strictly do clip sales?

Yes,

That is a possibility. I would only do something like that if your paid for the car, clip and labor ahead of time. I don't have the funds to go out, buy another car, do a swap etc... and then sell it. Plus, if I were to do that and someone got into a financial situation (which can just pop up out of nowhere) I'd be left with a lot of my money invested in a car that I didn't want to have.

Call me to discuss this. I know where I can get a S14

If I can ever sell this civic I will be ordering one. Anybody out there want an 2000 Civic SI. Come on Night you know you want a Civic SI. Think about it. Deep down you know you want it.

Chad

hey kaos i could ask my friends... stupid honda fanatics =\

how much you askin? mods? miles? color?

i wish
 

Its times like these I wish I had my 240sx already. And umm $2750... :confused:

LoL, sorry man, this guy wil NEVER own a Honda. Dude, if you're into Hondas (as well as most of America) you shouldn't have any problems selling it over there.

But now back to the real topic here: I need buyers. Anyone interested?

Night

yeah...no offense, but why did you buy a honda in the first place?

My honda was kinda a result of my stepmom owning one and me inheriting it when I turned 16 :confused: Finally time for a new car, 240sx in one month...

hey how long is this special going to last?

The sale will go on till I decide to stop it lol. I'm thinking it will probably end by the 28th of this month. Reserves are accepted to hold the price.

Night

Hey, Night. I'm getting a and S14 as SOON as my CIVIC sells. THINKING about doing the RB swap rather than SR, but I'm a little hesitant... not knowing how much fabrication has to be done:

Don't know anyone interested in mine, do you :D

More here... mods list and first dyno included: http://home.sc.rr.com/ntgr/images/civic/

the 286whp in the Dyno sheet is at 10psi only on the T3/T4B turbo. T3/T4E is back on, but the Hondata hasn't been retuned for it yet.

Umm, nice lookin car, don't doubt you can run a 13, but I hate hondas lol....sorry to say it man. With as many honda nuts as there are out there, you should have no problem selling it....post it for sale on a Honda forum.

When you want a RB let me know! There isn't much fabrication needed at all.

Night

would it be possible to get the 6 speed transmission with the rb25?

The 6 speed tranny is an AWD tranny. If you wanted to use it, you could, however, you would have to cut a section out of your passenger foot well and re-weld a plate there for the front transfer to fit. You can use it in RWD form if you have the front shaft disconnected. 6 speed trannies are not cheap either. The 5 speed, I think, is sufficient, judging that no one I know goes over 160 MPH.

Night

how's the rb20 as a motor?

RB20 is a great motor. It has smaller pistons than most, but is capable of a fair amount of power. They usually dyno between 200-210 HP stock to the rear wheels which gives you about 30HP over the SR. You can get em to 300HP fairly easily here in the states. They're only $1750 right now.....damn good price.

Night

Whats the SR20 run at price wise? Also any chance you are gonna be doing another deal like this during the summer or afterwards when I'm gonna have the money to afford it? Also, whats labor cost on a swap like this? Seeing as its the first time I've ever had something like this done, I'd like someone who knows what they are doing do it so I can learn a little.

Red top - $2500
Black top - $3250

I charge $1250 to do the install. I know, I know, cost went up, but so did gas and the economy sucks lol. I will run specials like this. I run em about every 2 months for 10 or so days.

Night

Just wondering, whats the difference between red top and black top? Sorry for all the questions, trying to learn as much as possible before I get my car.

Red top = 175 RWHP
Black top = 185 RWHP

RB20 = 200-210 RWHP
RB25 = 250 RWHP

Night

So umm if the RB25DET kicks out 65 rwhp more than the black top for $500 dollars less... why would I get the SR20 again? Oh wait that was your point wasn't it. :p The weight ratio thing (read the info on your site), would it be about the same for a s14? I think I'm leaning in that direction... Now to work 40 hours a week this summer to afford the damn thing.

Actually, my best run is a 12.3 :) However... I'm simply a Japanese car enthusiast and I like many cars. I've been looking into Nissan's and now I'm extremely anxious to start my new project.

How much does an RB swap usually cost... engine, mounts, tranny, ECU, drive-shaft, etc? Also, like everyother project I've worked on... keeping AC is a must :D So, having said that, will I be able to keep AC with the RB swap?

thanks,

What did you hit a 12.3 with? I was hitting 12.6 without touching boost, rev limiter etc... which is pretty good I'd say.

Clips right now are on sale for $2750, driveshaft costs anywhere from $200-$400 to make. You can keep AC on anything, but I think you may need custom AC lines......otherwise be damn careful about taking out the lines to begin with and put them back carefully.....should work just fine, but AC is a power robbber.

Night

check your pm

Why would they have different HP figures? Its the same motor only the Red's a little older.

I'm not a know it all on SR engines, but I'll say what I think I know about this....anyone else please correct me, remember, I'm the RB guy lol, not SR.

91-94 SR (S13) were red tops. 95-98 (S13) - yes, still made till 98 in Japan) were black top. 95-98 (S14) were black top.

Black top adds a T28 turbo over the smaller T25 on the red top and they also have variable valve timing control (VVTC). I think those are the only main differences, anyone else, please add your info or correct mine.

Night

I think I know why we're confused. There was a red and blacktop S13. These motors came in the 180SX. Since the 180SX was built until 1998, it was being produced at the same time as the newer (95-98) Silvia's. The 95-98 Silvia's got a newer version of the blacktop, rated at 220HP and 205 ft. lbs., while the 180SX retained the 205HP and 187ft. lbs S13 blacktop version.

In your HP figures, you used the 180SX HP figures to the Silvia's HP figures. Basically there were 2 blacktop motors being produced at the same time. You mentioned yourself what the differences were also, bigger turbo, and VTC timing.

I got a question for yah Night. Others can jump in if they wish.
If I buy the 240 (Prolly 93). Is there any upgrades or mods I can do to the engine/drivetrain b4 getting the RB25, and then keep these mods for the RB. For example : new air filter, 3" exhaust, FMIC kit, Spark plugs, Clutch, Flywheel, LSD, Oil Filter, Fuel Pump. Will any of these be able to transfer from the KA to the RB , when the swap is done ?

Thanks ahead of time

The 3" exhaust will work but as far as everything else I am almost positive they won't work. Well the FMIC will but the piping would need to be redone. As far as everything else the RB25 is compatible with the 300ZX NA for some parts like the ones you mentioned. Night would need to tell you exactly which ones.

Chad

Also a 93 240SX SE is an (S13). Is that the correct one ?

:dunno: seems like everyone is doing the good ol' rb25 swap but people keep putting in the 91's-94's. Its got me wondering will it fit in the 95 240s

That's VERY good I'd say. My reasons exactly for wanting to tune something that was meant to be turbo. As for that price you specified... that's pretty amazing (to me). Such a powerful swap for so little in comparison to others. when you say "front clip", do you mean like the WHOLE front end of the car?? Or is it just the necessary pieces for the transplant? The reason I ask is because... I work in my garage at home, but I have nowhere for the entire front end of a car :)

Last of all... I have to have AC even though it's a power robber. It get's TOO hot here and I drive TOO much (average 40k miles/year) to noy have it... especially when it rains on a hot muggy day; fogging up my windows.

I'm still in search of an S14 240. As soon as I find one (black) I'm buying it. I'll be in touch with you like the next day :)

Thanks,

Knight. Another question.

I REALLY wanna do the RB25 swap, but tell me... how available are the aftermarket performance parts for this engine? I can find SR stuff all day. Where do I find the RB stuff, like Greddy turbo kits, better pistons and rods, etc? Also, say something on the car fails, like igniter, distributor (or coil pack... dont' know which it has), waterpump...... can I easily get replacement parts??

Also, where the R34 RB motor is good to over 1,000hp... what's the max power on the R32 RB? The RB25 IS the R32 motor, right??

Thanks,

RB25DET engines are R33. They can go over 1000 hp easy.

Aftermarket parts are easily accessible. I'll have a full line soon. Look at www.trust-power.com for Skyline parts from Greddy. Water pump can be ordered, takes about a week. Other stock replacement parts can be found in the US.

Night

Oh yeah, clip means whole front half of car.

Cool. That's one of my largest concerns. Where are you located... Washington State, or DC? State is too far :), DC would be great! Anyway... you should put together a manual with detailed instructions for installing the RB into an S14... I'd pay you for it. Everything from sub-frame mounting, to drive-shaft fabrication, to "wiring".

Speaking of wiring, how difficult is it. I'm used to leaving the ECU harness intact and simply plugging in an engine harness... maybe moving a pin or two under the hood, or adding a wire or so from the bay to the ECU. Does the RB swap require a major rework of the interior harness? For instance, do you have to reqire fuse-box stuff, instrumentation, ecu, etc??

Thanks,

Hey you guys need to understand that the RB motors can withstand allot of HP on stock internals......there is a RB25 in Japan that has a little over 550HP to the wheels on the stock internals. The RB26DETT is always going to be better, but they are both really good engines. There is an RB26DETT in Japan that has around 700HP on stock internals...:eek:

New Guy
 

I've been wanting to be one of the first guys in my area to do the Skyline motor in a 240.
I'm picking up my 91 Super Hicus coupe the weekend.
I'll have the money for the motor in a few months.
Do any of the front clips come with sheet metal, body parts?
Glad to find a resource for the clips.
Later,
Matt

I'm in WA state. Too far I guess. I can put together a whole booklet...debated doing it many times lol. Wiring isn't very hard, about 8 wires total that have to be played with, 36 for gauge cluster extension. THat's it. You do run the RB harness over your dash though.

When you want a clip, let me know.

Night

When you say "over the dash", what do you mean? Do you mean like... "visible" over the dash? If so, have you concealed yours some how?

Also, have you ever heard of unstable-hybrids.com ? They're in Conyers, GA (very close to me) and do RB, SR, etc swaps. Their clips are way more than yours, though. to the tune of $4,000.00. But, for that price they guarantee intercooler and piping... is that worth it? They charge about $2,000.00 for installation NOT including the motor and tranny mount fabrication. They also have a custom intake manifold that doesn't cross the valve-cover and requires less IC piping.

what do you think?

thanks,
