hey i looked at a rb in a cilica it fits and thay put the rad in frount of thr rad soport SR20's are shit thay have rockers that like to jump off and it costs Sh*t loads to fix ca and rb are built the same and don't have this problim i am going ca18det in my ke70 i would try and go rb if you could a rb 30 bottom end and a rb 26 head will get you big power if you want that

just to clear a few things up , i work specifically with nissans / rbs mostly , and sr and cas when i have to

 

from what iv seen on this site i doubt very much that most of you would be looking to push the sr20 limits

 

 

they are an excelent engine , and puting aside the rocker s .. as thats not the main issue

 

the unreliability of the sr20 is derrived from poor servicing and the rough oil galleries from factory casting ,, sludge and deposits build up in them , when bad enough resulting in no oil up top and so on spinning bearings ect

 

however i do prefer how the rb and ca are built , I'm an rb man myself but infortunantly in these cars its not really a functional option .

 

 

if i were to go a 6 cyl in my ke it would be a 1jz as thery physically smaller than an rb and don't use some of the extra running shit rbs use , but because of the 2.5ltr capacity i don't think that registration is an option ..

to AE71wagon...i answer your why with coz i want power haha, i mean its never easy doing a motor conversion and i was thinking a 6 cyl would put out more torque than a CA or SR, but i never really have done much research into such things, just that a few mates have got RB20s for sale so i considered the conversion.

i don't have money this year, I'm doing it next year when i have a job haha.

no income = no upgrades

peace

hey guys, I'm sure if where i did work experience can fit a 265 hemi into a galant i think anything is possible! the engine stops in the dash!!!!!! killer burnouts

the straight 6 265?

the straight 6 265?

 

That is what a 265 is, cept its not straight, it sits on a slant like a K motor :)

 

henceforth they are known as the Slant 6 motor :cool:

better to put a SR20DET in a KE70... no massive mods

i was just checking, I'm rather impressed someone went to the effort to jam one of them in, tough motor though.

a k motor is still a I4 and the 265 is still a I6, even if you turn it upside down...

they had to cut a hole in the firewall and the motor was that big it sits in the dash you can see it through the vents 4 the air con.

i've never heard of this problem in an sr only a ca. however it can be avoided, my brother has had holes drilled in the bottom of the oil galleries in his ca to deal with this problem anyways.

RB20DET KE70

 

For anyone that thinks putting a rb in a 70 is a bad idea. This is my mates 70 at Masterton burnouts. This car cost him 3 grand to build and goes like f@$king shit. Best conversion ive seen in a 70. And for whoever said you need to recess the fire wall a foot. It was more like 4 inches.

Whoops just realized this thread was happening 4 years ago.

Anything can be done. do i think its worth it? no

Why isn't it worth it? Rb's are cheap. Have great power. And you can upgrade them cheaply? If your after alot of power id got with a bigger engine over 4age anyday.

I'm just one of those people who believes nissans should stay in nissans and toyotas in toyatas.
