R32 GT-R RB26DETT Engine Swap

[CB7Nub]

Yes I know I'm insane and I really don't know anything about doing this stuff. But I was wondering if anyone has dropped a RB26DETT into a CB7, that would be insane. Reason for asking is because I found a DIRT cheap RB26DETT, cheaper than some H22A's with trannys. Comes with everything 5 speed manual tranny, twin-turbo, ECU, EVERYTHING.

I know it will take a LONG time and a SHIT LOAD of work to do it's just an idea guys. :P Would it fit too? It's a straight-6.

What do you guys think?

Sounds awesome, but I don't think an inline 6 will fit under the hood

[CB7Nub]

That's what my friend said lol, is there some way you could mod the engine bay to make it fit?

[STL_92_Accord]

I say go for it if you really want to. If you have the money it could happen.

[PUMASTi]

How deep are your pockets?

Even with lots of knowledge in swaps and custom work it would it wouldn't be cost effective. Not worth it in my opinion.

If you want to be different start spending money in a K24 6speed swap.

[vinbon63]

maybe if u hack away at the firewall and lay it inwards a little more. Serious modification would be needed Im guessing, but ultimatel not worth it imo unless you have serious stacks of cash laying around. Grab the motor if you really want it, and find yourself a silvia shell, or a skyline shell. Then your looking at something much much easier, and worth it.

Hey, I voted "Great idea!" because I love crazy swaps that most people wouldn't even think about doing.

I really don't know anything about doing this stuff

Maybe you should do some easier swaps for a couple of years before you start planning a project like this one

I know it will take a LONG time and a SHIT LOAD of work to do it's just an idea guys. :P Would it fit too?

It will not take THAT long.... unless you have no idea what you are doing and/or only work on it 30minutes a day.

And it is not THAT much work if you compare it to building a house for example. Many people around the world have built their own houses.

Yes it will fit without any problems.

You realize that you can get a H22 with a tranny for ~$1250 shipped to you, right? and it will take 4 hours to put it into the CB7; it will take about 6 months to put the GT-R engine in a CB7....that's if you know what you are doing

[coletrain]

Totally do it. I've thought about swapping a 2JZ or something like that.

I've found the motors to be pretty cheap, of course it'll take a lot of work to retrofit the motor into the cb7. Anything other than the H22 gets my thumbs up for originality.

Most of those inline 6 motors have 250+ BHP, if it's as expensive as an H22, I'd say go for it

[93accordfreak]

Buy the engine swap. Buy a car with a blown engine that it'll fit (240 maybe? I'm not great with Nissans).

Badass car for 5 grand? And keep the CB.

[brianh1290]

sounds like such a sick idea!
your cb7 would PWN!

[H22Artman]

pretty cool in concept but probably not worth the time or effort, especially if you have as little experience as you do.

i say throw it in a silvia.

[H22Artman]

this is comparing apples to oranges.

last i checked my house didnt have any turbos, or wheels and a engine for that matter
many people have built their houses out of mud and leaves. theyre called cavemen.
im pretty sure i could do that too.

[DRzCB72nr]

id buy the engine and throw it on something rwd, blow past cbs.

[ChrisRHDJPN]

Well, it is possible...IF your pocket book is big enough. The only really feasable way to do it would be to do a FWD to RWD conversion on the whole vehicle. And then, it would really only be practical to do (financially) if it was intended to be a race car build.
