    RB20det e30 swap

    hey mates, this is my first swap engine swap. Ive done an r6 swap into a raptor 660. i purchased this skyline front clip with 68k kilometers from Japan. After all the hassle of getting it through customs and border patrol, I am here. Ill be posting all my recent updates here. I appreciate any and all kind of help. Thanks fellas.

    Engine Bay & interior

    Cleaned the engine bay with degreaser and pressured washed it fairly well in prep for the swap.

              New headers and pulley, but the crank pulley is getting machined since the stock is quite a bit heavy. Laser cut mounts are made and will be picking those up tomorrow.

                Mounts made, checking clearance and final measurements before welding.

                Mounts were lazer cut and then i did some extra fab work to make them fit better. Tranny mounts are in the making. Hopefully ill get everything put together within the next month to get her running!

                      Mounting & measuring.

                      Mounted the motor level and how it should be. Also test fitting the radiator and front mount intercooler.
