The Rb Install
-
Well, i figured that you guys have all heard about it, and it ain't no secret.......so i figure why not post up the install pics on here, they've been on the TM forum for a while, but here they are
ok finally got the time now here's my pics.
First off this is the first time i've ever posted a ton of pics, so here goes.
Here's old KA i blew
Heres RB on floor with Subframe, ready to get put in
Insert Engine Here
Here is RB with wiring Harness on and ready
Here is Rb in car w/ harness
Here's petey taking chains off of RB
Here is a annoying and Bright pic of the clearence from radiator of RB
Here is the passenger side tophat mount
Driverside Tophat mount and Turbo With a rag in it
Here's all the room i have between the bellhousing and the firewall on the passenger side.
And Here's all the cm of clearence that the speedo sensor has
This is basically how the engine is placed in the car, it's pretty much as far back as it can go......for that whole weight balance thing......apparently the tophat mounts do that, looks right though
So in my quest for a Cheaper Install, i bought Rb20 kit after calling tophat too see if it would work, the said the motor mounts would........so in my glee, i bought them for $150, well this is why it's for a rb20, the tranny mount, so petey did some custom fab.
Here's the Driverside
And Here's a overall view of the custom fab and tranny
Here's the overall view from the tranny.....
Here's the issue that is being solved by a custom downpipe, notice the steering nuckle, right in the way of the downpipe.......so hopefully we will have a atmospheric dump for the waste gate.......and 3" turbo back.
and here's my random pile of shit.
I have more pics, so if u need to see more lemme know i can get them up in here

yeah, there isn't much room, and i beleve that in hard drving it would rub, but, the speedo doesn't work, i need to put the ka vss o=in that speedo, which is shorter, so once i get off my ass and get a speedo, then i'll be ok, but in the mean time, in spirited driving, it may bump the body, yeah.
It's up and running, and driving, i had to put a walboro in it, so the fp is off, and the turbo has had enough of sitting around, so that needs to be replaced too............but it runs good, and quick, not fast, due to a turb that spits a little oil at full boost.

thats the hotness!!! Looks like the 5spd is the same one in the Z32's?? I know the one on the RB20 I did was the same one as SR's and KA's, as it was NOT that big!!! that'll be fun when you get a new turbo on it and start cranking up the boost!!! HELL I bet its a freaking blast to drive it the way it is now!
Excellent work!
