I had thought about a 1JZ conversion, the 2.5 TT out of the soarer, this would be a better swap than the RB25 imo, I\'m now going to stick with rebuilding my current one but maybe further down the line I may consider this swap again, but the numerous LS1 conversions seem like a good idea too, as long as the RX still handles the same.

The RB is a very very heavy engine and probably no more reliable than a 13b especially the way so many around these days dont even seem to get serviced.

[rxv8]

you have got to be joking...an rb in my opinion is so much more reliable than a 13b...ls1 engine swaps are to common...rb is just different which is what i like...

They can be reliable, but they can also be far more troublesome. They love to spin big end shells for no reason and the rebuild cost is 3x that of a 13b. Dont forget the awesome ford CVH quality oil pumps too!

Get an LS2 then, or just do the sensible thing and get a bridge port. :InLove

If you want to do it get RB26DETT instead, RB25 engine not very tuneable.
Learn that when I had a Skyline R34 GTT with RB25DET neo (like VVTi).

Sod the 4 Rotor, surely the engine bay is big enough for the Hurley 6 rotor..!!

lol...the rb25 is one of the most tuneable engines,also the r34 gtt neo engine is different to the r33 rb25...

[TD06_FD]

If RB25 is tuneable why would the most GTS owner swap RB26 engine?? Beside R34 GTT and R33 GTS are same engine and same block.
if you only want 350-400bhp, RB25 more than enough :chat , any more power you just wasting money on that engine.

[rxv8]

there are loads of 500hp rb25det gts-t on the skyline owners club,that are tuned,and very reliable...anyways its my choice of engine as they are cheap to buy and will be more than enough power for me in an fc...
