    this is a major stab in the dark .. but as im browsing around for a new engine i came across a rather cheap RB20DET

    what is the possibility of droppin one in a hachi, or is it a bad idea.
    i was looking for a ca18det .. how to they compare.
    im assuming the RB will be too heavy

    to long to fit into a sprinter without radiator support movement or fire wall bashing, then you got the tunnel for the gear box, got no idea on how much that would have to change


    sounds like it would be a sweet car tho! different!!!

    well an RB25 has been done into sprinter, i was contemplating doin it myself tho its no good for drift as it becomes way to heavy in the front compared to the rear especially, but if u dont wan to go sideways then it would be the shizzle!
    so im doin an sr20 instead

    actually the rb20 gearbox is almost identical to a ca18 gbox. the ca box fits into the tunnel with no massaging needed (except cutting of the shifter hole)
