RB26DETT into a 95' 300ZX

I thought I would ask you guys. How much trouble would it be to drop a rb26dett into my Z? and or what changes would have to made?!

Thanks!

I doubt it would be possible, the VG engine is a lot more square than the RB, the VG is a lot shorter in length and height, but wider, this allows it to fit under the lower bonnet line of the Z, if you end up doing it, it'll take some major surgery, but good on you for thinking outside the square:alien2:

Actually its already been done. I've seen pictures, and heard discussions on AF about this exact swap. I'll look for more info.

Well, I'm of the opinion that you can swap anything into anything given the time, patience and money.

As for the VG->RB swap, I don't know exactialy what would be envolved, but I'll see what I can dig up.

I would say that if you can get a 2JZ-GTE into a Z then you could get an RB26 into it, as I've seen Supras with RBs in um. Like the one Mr. Nagata got pulled over in

rb motor in z car

Finally found a pic of what you are looking for. Its a rb25 but the rb26 should go in with similar work. :flash: Go to www.megala.com then go to the hybrid section. Lots of other interesting swaps.

They put a RB26 in a Z31 300ZX so i think it would be possible , they also put SR20s in almost everything... my favourite is the S13 with RB26DETT... that's the ultimate sleeper...

i saw a magazine article of a Nissan Crew (extremely ugly car purpose designed to be a Japanese taxi) with a worked RB26, huge but hidden fmic etc. that was a sleeper.

interesting idea on the Z, my guess is it would be difficult. why not stick with the VG?

My car is an n/a. I want to go turbo. And, if I was going to do all that work why not save up a bit more money, and sneak in the RB26DETT. Chances are I would have to save up for a while.
