View Full Version : rb26 s13
well i sold my old s13 and bought an r32 gts4 skyline with full gtr running gear. i know but it was only 4k with lots of bits on it. well i missed my s13 so much and hated the 4xtoilet on the skyline ive decided to brake the skyline onto another s13. (r32 gts4 rolling shell going cheap)

i bought the new s13 off sxoc got a good price and a good car. ill get some pics up soon.
i then got lucky and my mate blew his r33 gtst up and had no money to sort it. i bought the whole car with a phucked piston for £550. after braking the car for bits ive made my money back and got my gearbox and crossmember of free.
im not going to fit the silly turbo on the s13. (but it is up for sale with the 50mm wastegate) ive bought a garrett gt35r rollerbearing turbo and 50mm hks wastegate. ive sold the apexi power fc and ordered an apexi djetro. the rb26 has 800cc sard injectors, tubular manifold, alloy rad, big 4" fmic, sard fuel pressure regulator and a few more bits.
i found a company in the usa called syko performance . they do all the brackets and mounts to fit the rb26 and rb25 into the s13. $460 delivered. they say the mounts fit the engine lower into the engine bay so the bonnet doesnt have to be cut about. i asked if it would be different as my car is rhd but they assured me they fit. i also ordered the 2 dvds on how to fit the rb25 into the s13 and how to wire it in. (if anyone wants to borrow them once ive watched them your more than welcome).
im just about to rip the engine out the s13 today so ill keep posted on my progress
cool,looks like a good project mate,good luck:thumbs:, is that red s13 in your avitar yours? remember it for sale 6 months ago.....I nearly bought it!!:)

dontbother with the monuts you were going to get, they are pointless :nod:
You still need to use the skyline xmember etc, if you do a search on ebay.com, a company on there does the kit so its a straight bolt in job :thumbs:
In the projects section, 2 guys doing rb20 swaps have used them :nod:
im still using the skyline xmember but the mounts they do are. gearbox mounts, rollbar drop mounts and lower engine mounts. straight bolt in. ive already ordered them.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/RB25DET.jpg
i couldnt find the ones people said were on flebay
i used the ones from ebay and it made it so much easier doing the rb converstion :nod:
good luck :thumbs:

ahhh, it was just to save the hassle of changing racks and bending power steering lines to fit the skyline crossmember :nod:
thats the reason i went for the mount kit, saved me from having to feck about with things :D
i used the ones from ebay and it made it so much easier doing the rb converstion :nod:
good luck :thumbs:
were they the same as the ones ive ordered?
what was the hardest part of your conversion?
nah not the same as yours, the hardest part was massaging the tunnel for the gearbox and that was it really
with the kit i got the sump clears the rollbar which was a bonus
yeah the sump was the worry for me. i know ive got to get it modified. the rb25 one fits but is not advised with the rb26. tm going to get the rb26 sump welded up and modified i think.
as for the tunnel. i thought a big hammer would do the trick
yeah big hammer :wack:
make you you dont do what i did :( i thought i did it enough but i didnt so now need to some how knock it abit more :mad:
ah not good. the other option is to fit a gratrac tunnel. pain in the arse with the carpet though.
big hammer it is then. ill keep trying the box for lots of clerance before i do the final install. chers
my s13 i bought a few weeks ago.

engine before it came out.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04823.jpg
engine out of the car now. pain in the arse as i forgot to take the gear knob off so had to cut the gater off. also found out the reason for the engine not starting. intercooler was blown open.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04823.jpg

skyline half ripped apart as well
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04775.jpg
engine out
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04830.jpg
the turbo on the skyline is imense! what is it? what sort of numbers was that engine laying down?
also.....WHY arent you using it!?...be creative ;)
turbo is a t72 drag turbo. only done about 300 miles. it was all bolt on bits and the power fc wasnt set up. mental fast though. i didnt drive it much but when the turbo cut in (4500 rpm) it took off. ive never driven a car like it.
the reason im not using it is its much too big for drifting and thats what im after. fast street car i can drift in.
dont you fancy buying it to bolt on yours? cheap cheap
very nice but whats wrong with the skyline, seems such a waste to rip one to pieces just for an engine, surely you could have just sold it snd bought an engine for half the price for the s13,
fit the CA to the skyline lol.
those mounts look very nice, i have the fitting kit from american ebay and its really good, and i managed to get the engine and box in together from the top on my own, with the car up on wheels :)
nothing was wrong with the skyline. i had just put a years mot on it. just i know ive got everyting to do the conversion if ive got a compleat car to brake.
works good to at the moment so i dont mind :ghey: some money at something i like ha ha.
that sounds like a lot of jiggery pokery. im going to bolt it all to the subframe and pull it up.
got a few more bits yesterday.
my new garrett GT35R rollerbearing turbo . not using the t72 its way to laggy and probably wouldnt fit in the engine bay as the skyline inner wing had to be beaten and cam cover shaved for it to fit.

I wish i was as good as this with my hands, i put a new gearbox and clutch in my 106 the other day and i was proud of myself for being able to do that in 1 day lol.
Will keep watching this thread :)

ha ha well im a gas engineer and only do bits for a hobby. ive got a good mate who is a wizz at making stuff fit together. my last project was a ram 170 quad bike we fitted a yamaha r1 engine into. what a mental machine that was.
i just won my 5 stud conversion off flebay and hopefully get my 50mm overfenders next week.
You'll have no problem doing it with those mounts. Just finished a RB25 conversion with a mate, using those mounts, and they were perfect, everything lined up first time.
No need to mod the transmission tunnel either, and the exhaust fitted straight up aswell. Dont know if the 26 will be any different. Matt

nice one cheers for that reassurance. im using the rb25 box so that should be the same. ive got to get the rb26 sump all welded up and modified as well.
as for the exhaust im running v band on the turbo so ill have to get a downpipe made up and going for side exit out the drivers rear quarter
you can use the rb25 sump on the 26 block. The 4wd blocks have a twin bolt pattern, so it will accept the 2wd sump without mod.
Matt
mmm yeah ive hurd that but syko performance dont recomend it. ive got both sumps but just want to be safe. im going to mod the 26 sump.
just a few more bits ive got gathered
intercooler 4" deep
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04841.jpg
alloy rad
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04842.jpg
hks 50mm wastegate
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04845.jpg
ive got the seats out the gtr for some reason ones blue and one red. im going to get them re trimmed and use them as they are so comfey.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04869.jpg
not sure if im going to fit the nos kit yet. might just use it on the intercooler spray
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04865.jpg
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04866.jpg
ive also got both sets of brakes from the gtr and gtst. same callipers but discs are bigger off the gtr. was wondering if i could use them both gtr front gtst rears and run 2 little spot callipers for the handbrake. im doing away with the abs and ill fit a bias valve so its not 50 50 braking. hydrolic fly handbrake as well
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/DSC04861.jpg
got the engine bay sorted. seam welded and bay painted up.

after trying to fit the gtst sump with no luck as the oil pick up wasnt looking good. got the gtr sump all modified up and fitted. dropped the engine in but it hit the crossmember with the syko performance mounts so i had to use the standard ones. not as easy as everyone says.

those seats are from an R33 the red ones from a late 96 and onwards, the blue from a car before that.
looks like a cool project. I am hankering for another full build but my wife hated my sx so that is a no go for me, I'm looking out for a 240z to do instead:thumbs:

So there was nothing wrong with the Skyline !? it looked lovely as it was :smash:
Before you re-trim the red seat, you could sell it on and then buy a matching blue stitch one, the red stitch stuff is very sought after.

pain in the arse finding another seat though. i got to find someone good at trimming now. i want the front seats, door cards, dash, rear cards done in black alcantara with white stitching should look good i think. anyone know anyone in the south?
no nothing wrong with it. rolling shell is on ebay now. got loads of skyline bits kicking about now. skylines are not for me.
got the front 5 stud conversion on now.

So have you not used the Syko ones at all? Is your engine now sitting on the GTST crossmember with standard mounts?
this thread is awesome mate,the weds look:nod::thumbs:
I like your new wheels :eek: :nod:
craziest rims on here man - respect !
cheers mate lot of heart ach getting them and they dented the puck out my wallet but they are worth it.
it is sitting on standard mounts at the moment but coming out for some more sump mods then ill be able to use the syko mounts. it sits about an inch higher on standard mounts
:eek::eek: those wheels :eek: ... :smitten:
Dont look like they fit even with those arches to me though :indiff:
Liking the wheels also, make the car fit them at all costs :)

yeah i know what you mean but my mate is billy wizz with frp . he is going to keep the lines but widen them a little. shame cos the chargespeed fenders are so nicely finished already. im going to make the car fit the wheels. ill get them all on and pull it out the garage next week to see what it really looks like.
ive also managed to get skyline gtst front brakes on the back. got to make some brackets up fot the calipers though.

19-04-2008, 08:16
Very nice mate Just hurry up and finish it all ready lol.
yeah i know what you mean. im ordering the coilovers next week and as soon as i can get them on garry is going to start on the rear arches. need to see how the car will roughly sit on the rims to make them fit right. i dont want them hanging out the arches.
im taking your advice and the engine is coming out again to paint the bulk head.
Looking like a really nice drift weapon you are going to have there mate, keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing the progress.

Great project though, good luck :thumbs:

i think ill need :smash: :annoyed: :wack: to get the rears to look right but its going to be worth it. might have to go for 335 tyres though. the 315s look stretched to death
just a few more pics as ive got the wheels on the car. front tyres are 265 35 18 and only just fit the wheels. not sure what to do with the arches now though. might have to widen theme more or fit some fender flares :ghey:
the wheels have gone on with minor clerance problems. nothing that cant be sorted.

My they do look chunky, make my 9.5's look like metro wheels :)
How wide are your fronts (and et) again please and are you running spacers anywhere? Sorry for being lazy and not going back to read if you have already posted.
i know ive got 9.5x18 on the other side and they look like space savers
Front Wheels: 18×11.5JJ Offset +20 with 15mm spacer
Rear Wheels: 18×13JJ Offset +27 no spacer and when the coilovers go on there will be very minor inner arch mods to be done.
Kool :thumbs: I met a bloke the other month with a ps13 he had 10's on the front and 12.5 on the back and it looked mental, but I think you have just outdone him :wack: Gotta win the prize for s13 with most rubber on the road I know of :thumbs:
it doesnt look anywhere near as bad clearance wise in that pic as i thought, im assuning thats still standard ride height, you could put a little more camber all the way round and it would fit i recon
ive just had a measure up and the fronts are 11.5 x 18. 265 tyre on them and only just fits.
yeah standard shocks but lowered springs. im getting coilovers, 4 arm kit and front / rear lower arms from srb next week. the front should go in a little as ive got s14 front arms on at the moment and they are wider than the s13 ones.
just lowered it a little to see how they will fit and its much better

well had a little time this weekend to do a few bits.

the 13x18 rear wheels with 315 30 18 tyres fit with a 3mm spacer. they dont touch any of the arms or coilover now. going to jump about in the boot now to see if they foul any of the inner bodywork. out comes the grinder if they do. i need some rear lower arms now as ive had to shave it a little off it.
still needs a bit of adjustment but the wheel will roughly sit like this under the arch

Loving what your doing bud, wish my wallet was big as yours tho :D keep it up :thumbs:

the rear arches are easy to fit mate we have nearly finished one tonight. i drilled loads of holes and bonded the arches on with proper bodyshop stuff. screwed it to the car , waited for the bond to set, take the screws out, buff the edges low with a grinder and a small amount of filler to loose the seam and screw holes. ill post some pics up tomorrow. you will also see how i got the 13s on the back with the pics. 15mm spacers and i good offset has helped alot as well.
i see youve ordered lots of fenders. all for one car? lol
ive ordered and payed for the uras gt copy kit from srb to finish it off
should look sweet
loving what you are doing here, but needs to be lower:nod:
just keep your eye on my pics mate. fitted the teins and its slammed now:)

ha ha i agree with the skyhook comment. most imported jap car and with rota wheels on it come on gazza wheres the one off car parts. this kit better be one off :) im sure it will though
im not the apprentice gas engineer if thats what you mean. i work for myself. best way. well worth getting into corgi reg :thumbs:. gazza has been doing the bodywork though and now that pain in the arse porker is gone hopefully i can blag him to help me finish it. nudge nudge .
ive got a plate lined up already mate. i did ask you ages ago about your one though. i think the one ive got lined up will suit the car more now though.
cheers for all the comments guys. ill be hitting it hard next week so progress reports will be better :thumbs

20-06-2008, 21:43
will definately be a one off kit. hopefully will be able to sell some as well. now the porsche has gone i've got another motor to work on though. won't have rota's fitted to it. they don't make them wide enough :D. got to get wider rims than you rich. might take a while to find some though. i'll see you on sunday and get them arch's finished off.
sweet . i would like to get the bay painted and engine all back in before next weekend. shouldnt be too hard.

Mate where did those lights come from? I think I have seen the panel before.
You back now or still on "holiday" lol
btw, the place that makes the lexan also can supply tubes of the adhesive, about £25+vat I think.

I'm thinking about getting one of those Chargespeed boot lids, are you a 100% satisfied with it?
Does it accomodate the wires for the defogger and the threads that holds the parcel shelf?
Could you take a picture from underneath please?
Thanks :)

Getting there mate but that fan needs to be on the back of the rad not the front ! as its set up to pull not push,
If you wont it there you need to wipe it off and turn the blade round so it pushes ,

Also, those tyres are the same size as a Lamborghini Murcielagos :)
:confused::confused::confused::confused:
ha ha they are all blended in already fella. done that last month.
we bonded them to the car then blended them in :thumbs:
Awesome thread mate, and your car is going to be one serious machine when it's done. :nod:
How did you bond the rear fenders? I've decided to go this route and was thinking about epoxying them on, but wasn't sure what to use when it comes to filling and fairing it all in. I was thinking that P38 could crack up after a while. :confused:
more done today. roof all painted black. just got to 2000 it and mop it when its ready

my mate bonded them on with sicaflex marine body sealant. its really strong. also filled the under neath with expanding foam to stop any flex. i will have to see if the line cracks in driving use. i dont think it will though. after expanding foaming it, it has stiffened right up.

cheers . ive had a bit of negative feedback in the wastegate pipe but i think its just right for the car :) its one of my favorite bits of the car. along with the engine bay and wheels
looks awesome!!! though u got alittle over spray on the front window i see :P
Are you not worried about the screamer pipe messing up your lovely new paint job?

Ahh haa - good old Sikaflex! When I worked at Honda Marine, we used to use that stuff all the time. It's surprising how good it is. :thumbs:
Expanding foam sounds like a good plan.
Thanks

yes that is top advice lol expanding foam made a hell of a lot of difference to the flex of the panel. :thumbs: a must.
yeah my mate builds big boats and he uses it all the time

ha ha nothing a little thinners wont get out. yeah i broke it the other day. ive got a new one to go in though.
my plan on the screamer pipe is to leave it for a bit and see where it burns the paint, then get an alloy plate made up to cover and protect the wing.

Me and a mate have been looking and discussing your car this evening. Sticks in my top 3 sx's of all time, im very fussy, and i think this is just perfect for the S13. My 14 and 15 will be shown later
Awesome. Are the vertical vents along the doorline custom? I know you can buy wider wings with them in, but I was under the impression you were running Chargespeed, which I didnt think had them. I may of missed the post where you adressed them!
