newbie ae86 build rb20det motor swap

[sundee]

8 second E7...boom

Just because it fits doesn't mean it's right or worthwhile...

I noticed the extra weight in my ke70 going from a 4k to a 3tc, can only imagine how horrible it would be with an rb20...not only is the weight going to be more forward of the crossmember, but they are also quite a tall motor...the conversion would most likely involve spacing the cross member and totally ruining the suspension geometry...

Rb20's are near on indestructible and sound semi reasonable for a Nissan motor...But about the only advantage they have...

The firewall and tunnel would have heavy mods to have the engine that far back in that photo.
Mount it with a stock wall and the CAS would be not far off the radiator.

where abouts did you get those pics ???

[Delazy]

had them saved for sometime...cars from SA and the firewall is extensively modified as mentioned above...

If you do a good job boxing out the fire wall, give me a call when you decide to abort mission. Could be keen on shell.

Weekends work to make that puppy fit, If that.

You guys are being pretty tough on him.. Just sayin

[matt99]

Yeah, I cant talk. I dump SR's in everything I see.

I'll go back to the corner.

Lucky you never ruined that ke70
