i have been doing search after search but i can not figure the whole thing out with out you guys giving me a hand here.
i am all honda, but i want to start playing with some real cars now.
i have all the honda cars figured out. what i want to know is the engines usdm and jdm and the cars they came from. for example, what is in the 85 300zx turbo car? i know it is a inline 6 single turbo but will it work in my car? (95 240sx)
please help me out here. thanx

 

with money anything is possible...

 

Moved to engine swaps section, post in the right section please

In a 240sx...you can fit CA18s, SR20s(S13 and S14 with minimal mods, S15 with some high modifications), RB20s with minimal mods, RB25s with moderate modifications, RB26s with moderate-high modifications. 1JZ and 2JZs can fit also, but with moderate-high modifications. Thats a rough Idea, now go out and search which engine is for you!

 

300Z's came with a SOHC V6 turbo here in the states....the VG30ET and I believe the VG30DET...but not an Inline six...those were only in Japan where they came with the RB20DET engine (same as a Skyline)....

Night

 

ok, maybe i did not ask it right. here is what i am looking for, using honda as example.
1. b16a = dohc vtec will fit any civic or teg easy
2. b18a/b =dohc notec will fit any civic or teg easy
2. b18c = dohc vtec will fit any civic or teg easy
3. h22a = dohc vtec need mount kit to civic or teg medium install
4. ect. ect.
i know about the sr20de/det and i know about the k24de also the rb25 and rb26, i have never heard of the rb20 untill here but i dont know what it came in? i guess jdm fairlady? is it 4cyl or 6cyl? hook me up fellers.

 

Like I said above, its time to go searching. BTW RB20 is from a R32 GTS-T skyline. We have talked about it a lot.

 

the rb20det came from the r32 skyline and its a 6 cylinder

 

thanx for the help guys. HyJynX, also thanx for the info. i have been doing all kinds of searching too. i just though sense i have not been getting all the info i am used to getting that i would post up and see how helpfull this foroum could be.
i have not seen a rb20 in a s14? is there a reason why?
like on honda's i know you run into problems with the computers going from non obd to obd1 and obd2.

 

there is someone out there with a rb20 in a s14
probably mostly s13's tho

 

yeah, i am starting to see that. i think i am gonna boost the stock k24de first (untill it blows) then swap a rb into it. gonna have to do some research to see if i am gonna do rb20det or spend big and do the rb25det?

 

No probBoosting the stock KAGreat start. I havent seen many RB20s in S14s...I cant even remember one actually. Only seen it in a S13. And seen most RB25s/RB26s in S14s. If you ask me, if the KA blows id upgrade to a RB20. Its cheaper then a RB25, but can put out some great numbers. Just rememberd. not many people do the RB20 swap into a S14 because the wiring is a bit tougher. The wiring from a RB20 is similar to a S13 wiring, and wiring from a RB25 is similar to a S14(still hard though)

 

i am going to talk to a shop in detroit about the wiring issues today. they have done some rb swaps and they might be able to fill me in on the wiring. i can not find any diy how too's on the wiring.

 

RB20DET- came in the 300zx (certain models), R31 and R32 GTS.
RB25DET- came in the R32 GTT, R33 GTS-25t, and R34 GTS-25t (NEO RB25DET, which came with 280HP)
RB26DETT- came in R32-R34 GTR.

All of these models can fit into the S13 and S14 chassis with little modification if used the McKinney install kit.

 

thanx DETurbine, great info. for wiring concerns i wonder if it would be in my best intrest to stick with engine from same year? the rb20 is a little older? my car is a 95 so it is obd2, i am guessing that the rb20 is non obd? what computers do you use when doing these types of swaps?

 

only 96+240sx is OBDII, RB20s are OBDI I believe. You use the RB20 ECU if your doing the RB20 swap, RB25 ECU if your doing a RB25 swap and etc.
