new subframe


new oil pan

 

subframe finished with motor mounts


back to stock steering shaft


old mounts cut off frame and smoothed down

 

do you guys have any ideas for a hood? its not going to clear since the sub-frame is back in the stock position. I would like to find something cheaper then the 1000 tech2 hood..

 

 

 

I have been really busy with work lately, but I had a chance to get a few things done. I took it up and had a 4 wheel alignment and it drives perfect now, better then my 240 ever did. I put on a bunch of silicon reducers and an air filter that came in last week, I pretty much have all my boost leaks fixed. I have been tweaking it and taking it out on test drives all night and I finally have it where Im happy. I added a fan which has helped alot. Next step is to get a new exhaust made

O yea I made the hood fit by shaving the inside of it and taking off the timing cover and backplate, but then it rested right on the belt. I just put some kind of material over the hole for the time being.

 

looking good! Any vids up?

 

the car is getting tuned right now, ill have some when it gets back

 

I agree

 

Who says he'll want to stay at 300rwhp? Once he gets use to it, he'll be shooting for 400+ next. Frankly, I would be bored with 300rwhp in an FD right off the bat. Infact, the 326 mine made the last time it was running right, was okay, but not the thrill I look for in my cars. Hence my FD won't be back on the road until it's pushing at least 450rwhp...

 

Do you have any pictures of the downpipe routing? Or anyone with this type of swap?

 

I will get some pics when off it when I get a chance.

 

I picked a couple things up while Im waiting for my car to get back from getting tuned

-Mishimoto radiator
-RE Carbon Fiber light surrounds
-PowerFc+Commander(no pic)

 

Any pics?

 

you don't want pics of my downpipe routing, Im just using the stock rb25 downpipe, it crosses over by the shifter, the exhaust Is next on my list to get redone

 

updates?

 

Sorry for the lack of updates, my car has been sitting up at my local tune shop for like 2 months waiting for a discontinued power fc for my rb25. I should be picking it up this week.

 

the car is back in business and running better then ever, but now the clutch is shot lol. It never ends

 

very nice build, im looking at this same swap for my 93 i was wondering tho how much of an issue was the wiring of the motor? and updates one the car tho!

 

I think if you have to ask that question, you shouldn't do this swap. Wiring is the LEAST of your worries, and this is comming from someone who has this swap on his FD.

 

well i was asking about the wiring because i have been researching about doing this swap since my friend is willing to sell me his rb25det with rb20 trans for cheap as hell, i know this swap requires a **** ton of work, modifications, and fabircations. i never saw anyone talking about the wiring so i was just wondering if it was that easy to wire or a pain in the *** to wire. just figured i would ask befor i jumped in to the swap my self.

 

here are some recent pics










im pulling the engine this winter, I have a list of things I want to get done..

 

Why do you still have all that wiring mess under the hood? Snippidy snip.
