Have fun dialing in the suspension on that ride! The engine is only the beginning not to mention the electricals. You can't just plop a motor into the car and crack open a beer...

Edit: it would be awesome, but not worth it

You obviously have no clue what you're getting yourself into. Good luck.

so basically a smaller motor, less HP, more expensive setup.

FTW!!

TheStigZ33

less hp? are u serious, its getting a big single before it is installed.

Since we are way off subject, why do the 2jz and rb26 sound soooo different, aren't they very similar? I've seen both cars with the stock twins, and 3 inch exhausts all the way back. Completely different sounds. The supra is low a gurgly, the rb26 just screams (no flaming, but think fast & furious 3, sound of the silvia in the beginning or mustang at the end)

BTW the rb26 is a 2.6L inline 6 cylinder. and you are better off going with a RB25 because the head actually flows more and the internals are 99% of the N1 block with a different stroke, not to mentio the trans will fit and the project is cheaper.

First off I am 26 not 16.An I am talking about something like a 60 trim.I know alot about mistu turbos an used to build those cars not these.I have worked on 300zx's doning non turbo to turbo swaps.I am asking a easy question about a friggen turbo I don't need ****ing idiots like you with must be 16yrs old with dumb comments.I am asking people this to see how it worked out for them doing what I am trying to do.I don't wanna go to big I just want a little more power like the link someone sent me on here.

I say lets see it then race a turbo Z

Better yet, see who wins on a graph:
-plot 'money' on the X axis and 'time' on the Y axis

You'll win every time!

I'm such a nerd...

i think the rb is a 2.8 liter and the supra is a 3.0 liter, so i think its just the difference in toyota and nissan, i would have to have the two engines beside one another to tell any big differences.

edit: rb26= 2.6 liter damn that was one of my moments.

TheStigZ33

rb25 trans will bolt up to the rb26, just remove the AWD and oil pan and replace the oil pan with a rb25, i already planned on this.

Yep, RB is design and 26 is size. just like VQ and 35 for 3.5L

Edit:

A buddy of mine has an RB25 240sx with gt35r, It was half the price as it sits and a similar rb26 swap and much faster per $.

an RB swap would be retarded IMHO unless you just so happened to have a built up bad-*** RB laying around from an old skyline project and nothing else to put it in. but to do it from scratch would be such a waste of money. The RB26 is a complete boat anchor compared to a VQ. Stronger pistons and rods to not make for a good engine, it just makes for a strong engine. The powerband the RB would make at the same HP level of a VQ would be near embarrassing in a Z33. The 2JZ is already a larger displacement engine than the RB and even its powerband is crummy compared to a VQ. When it comes to 6 cylinder imports, the VQ is the king of powerband and off-boost throttle response and boost transition. There is a reason the new GTR has a VR38, which is essentially derived from the VQ, rather than an old *** RB design... not even an UPDATED RB design, but rather an updated VQ... because the RB is old school and it just cant hang anymore other than peak output potential.

Well stated.

TheStigZ33

^ that was well stated but im not going with the stock setup, it gonna put out some hp! if i do math and its gonna mess my weight ditibution up so bad that i cant adjust the motor to get it pretty close i will just turbo the HR.

holy flaming batman LOL. i say if you wanna put a RB26 in ur Z i say go for it. Being different is always a plus. People are prolly hating cuz they cant afford one LOL. I seen the RB in the Z33 on a DVD before and it kicks ***. If i had the money to do a swap like that i would. the VQ is a power house as well, no doubt about it. I had a friend that did the Turbonetics single setup on his G35 and it runs like a champ. It has plenty of potential. But yea if you wanna do a RB go for it, dont listen to anyone. Sorry didnt mean to jack this dudes thread.

Im pretty sure you can find a T60 ball bearing turbo somewhere, and fabricate the rest of the stuff. My best bet is, get the Turbonetics t60 and go from there. Good luck
