so this kid that owns a immaculate s13 is going to do an rb26 swap, he says hes keeping the turbos, swaping to rhd, and converting to awd......first off, is awd possible?? he definetly has the funds and capability to do the swap, but awd????
i dont think he knows his shit, he first off wanted to do the sr swap, then he claimed hes getting 200 plus hp with his venom control module, then he said awd rb26...i think with the rb he saw, awd donor car, i have to go awd, he doesnt research.

its possible most likely, but will cost endless amounts of money and tons of work and EXTREME fabrication.

Seriously, he's full of crap, just wants attention, didn't you realize it already? Check back in when he's completed the project.......or when he scraps it because he's bored with it and goes out and buys his next form of entertainment.

It is possible Hybrid even gave an estimate for back when they were. They estimated 10k for just the AWD conversion that is not with the engine or anyhting. Basiclaly it just isn't worth it. And ya when you say he's doing a swap you mean he is paying someone lots of money to mkae himself think he's cool. I'm mid prosses of rb25 swap and by i'm, I mean my car is on jackstands in the garage.

he actually has a lot of money coming from insurance. he got burned really bad somehow and he gets 15 grand every 2 months. he treats himself like hes a rich snob. he might go through with the swap, he might not, i dont think he knows his shit and just wants to look cool. but dont tell me it wouldnt be kickass to do the awd rb26 in a 240.

For the money it cost for the car, the engine, all parts and the work, I could go and buy an R32 GT-R with about 50,000kms on it, and still have enough money for a Tomei crate engine.

YES its possibly, i knew a guy who had a S13 AWD with an RB in it, its to much work and money, and you will always have endless probs...
Rich kids , freaken mother freakin rich kids... they are always spoiled and think they can have anything and everything ... they have no respect for anything they get because it grows on trees for them. They dont know what its like to actually save up from a hard working job with time and then buy something and value it like "its owned"
SO, if you are rich and spoiled, dont take an S14 and put like $50,000 into it to make it a wanna be a skyline... why not just buy a skyline ?!!

RB26 is one sweet engine...I would take a RWD burnout over an AWD any day...RWDs are so much better in my opinion. I know the AWD has so many advantages but I like to see one set of wheels light em up and the fronts just sit still. but thats me

I am getting 200whp with 5psi. Maybe I should have just gotten a Venom module:rolleyes:
Ask him a trick question like "What size RB26?" Shit just ask him what car he's gonna get it out of. Or you could just bring a Nissan FSM or some kind of source of information on Nissan cars and slap him across the face with it. Even if he does have the funds, where the hell is he going to get it done?

yes it is possible
not just because almost anything is possible with enough money backing the project, but I've seen one AWD S14, the way it was done was way too much custom work for it to used daily, hell taken to the track more then like 3 times a month, without having stuff breaking left and right
basically i think its just something to have to take to shows and be like i have an AWD 240, let it sit in a garage and rub it with a cloth
as already said if you have the money for this then go ahead and just import a skyline

a venom chip wouldn't do shit to a 240sx. esp with a SR swap since hte venom chip is only for a KA ECU not a SR ECU. even if he got it to work. the Venom chip will only help him blow his own engine up as he ups the boost since they were designed for non turbo's it basically advances timing, and leans out a car. a definitly no no for turbo cars.

I can't remember where I saw it, but a shop does the whole swap rb26dett and the awd and charges anywhere from $14,000 to $16,000. I wouldn't mind having that done if I had the money. I can't imagine it would have any more problems than a normal car if everything is done by a quality shop that specializes in that type of custom work. I would use it as a drag car. 1,200whp and really good slicks, and where clear for take off.

With $16k, I don't want to wait for the car. I would either spend it on a VR4 or a Z32 and have a little left over for mods. Sorry but it seems like your making the car into something it isn't.:rolleyes:
And to think some of you guys on here complain about the RB20 and 25 messing with the weight distribuion.

"OMG A AWD 240 ON EBAY IT MUST BE SOOO FAST I WANT IT EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS AND HANDLES LIKE ASS. PEEPS BE ALL LIKE WHOA ITZ BE A SKYLINE" :rolleyes:
It would actually be gay as fuck. look at the one on Ebay for 7500... thats with the 4x4 style ride height. Its not on jackstands people! Plus it has a hole in the block filled with JB weld. and with that Driveline its gonna weigh 3200lbs god knows he wont even try to compensate for the awkard forces AWD will have on the chassis. if he wants a skyline drive train buy a damn skyline.
Tell your friend hes dumber than Ashley Simpson and he sucks at life.

ok...i'm not the AWD know-all- dude, but i know how much is to make a 240 sx an AWD car... is not allot.
yeah....see in CA not many people know about the skyline "electrical map" so the elctrical part of the swap would be like shit...
as far as for the physical part, the tranny mounts somewhat behind the original tranny. ur stick shift would be farther away from fire wall. so imagine how would the front axels have bent to matsh the front tiers. (i saw it my self, the dude was geting the RB swap in his car, but he kept it RWD)
i want to have a AWD SR20 240, but its just lame... i wanted the handling benefit. SO i spend the money on suspention. the car hadls good now..call IT!
BTW some one e-mailed me about the same topic and he did not replay to me. i would say the same ting i told him to u guys.... why u want a AWD 240? handling? the $ u will spend on it to make it AWD. can be used to make the suspention great.
240 are RWD KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP then that way, u want AWD get a subaru or EVO!
