upgrade engine

[g3b3r]

hai all,
On behalf of my friend, i have a question.
He got 1 skyline GTS R33 powered by rb25 twin cam and auto transmission.
He want to upgrade the car to rb26dett or rb25det.
Since i don't have any experience about this,could u give some advise.
Is that ok to do upgrade like this?Any idea?
How much it cost? Hope to hear some advice or idea from u guys.
cheers. :)

a lot have been converted already

if you decide to go RB26 is to keep it RWD and don't change to 4WD.

for rb25 turbo conversion should be very simple plug and play, 1-2 weeks max

workmanship should range from 2K-2.5K depending on what you are doing.

hehehe

yeah... listen to jebu.. talking from experience there.. ;) heheh

anyway, yep, rb26dett but keep the rear wheel drive setting. R33 is not as easy as R32 to convert to GTR. U will need rb25 manual gearbox though.

A properly setup RB25DET on a regular track day will have more blow-bys than all the oil in the oil sump of a properly setup RB26DETT. Am I right Jebu?

Properly setup RB25 no joke man.
