engine transplant

[Guest SeelanNaidoo]

hey ..

Has anyone put a skyline godzilla engine in an e30 b4.

if so has there been ne conversions like firewall mods. and gearbox changing

would like to know as I am thinking of doing so.

I have a TT Soarer engine w/supra 5spd in my e30.

It is a tight squeeze!!

Dam You! Don't steal my idea

I want an RB26DETT powered E30. Man that would be so cool. If you had a bottomless pocket you could do it : ) Sorry I haven't been much help but I'm sure it could be done, someone put a rotor in an E30. Atleast a GTR engine is a straight 6 so its sort of similar. You could also think about an SR20DET that would still go all right and would be heaps easier to fit, and lighter

correct me if im wrong.....but im pretty sure a RB26DETT is too big for the engine bay....without some serious firewall cutting....never heard of it being done but anythings possible with the $$.....however you will still end up with a very difficult to drive car. eventually im planning on going to sr20 det route....hopefully out of an s15 with the CR 6 speed gear box, also its a lot smaller so not as difficult to fit in...not for a while though

yeh .. I think you're right about that..

maybe I will have to put the s15 engine in.hope I won't have any problems with the fitment of it.how much do those cost anyway ( the s15's I mean)

anyway I love the silve s15 so why not compromise on both cars i like ..huh..

would be great to know how much the whole drive chain would cost me in all.

(engine , box, ecu+loom)

thanx anyway.

N.B Gus u still wanting the alpinas coz I am slowly changing my mind about selling it.... I am getting back into the e30 fever again although i am still getting the m3 motor from SA.

s15 g/box engine loom and ecu is 5-6g

keen as mustard on the alpinas...just wanting to know about the LSD's?

but yeah....100% on alpinas!
