My E30M3 S14B23 -> S50B32 -> RB26DETT. We are alive!! p.28

[mr2peak]

That has got to be one warm car to drive!

I'd pop it up through the hood just in front of the mirror, run it over the fender, down to the rail and then a short side pipe running under the drivers door. It will look super mean.

Exactly what is pushing me away from an RB26 swap :(

Forreals tho. :cockbloc:





I don't even know what to say to this.

[lambo]

Very cool! RB26 E30 is one of my dreams...

Have fun plumping a down pipe :) I'd like to see what you come up with. I love the rb26 but it's a lot of work to fit in an e30 there's a reason why people swap in jz's into e30's more often other than price. Damn nissan switching around intake/exhausts sides lol

Do you have a picture of your routing?

[Nisse Järnet]

I have found a solution to it I think, just go in and up. Not go through the plate where the ABS sit.

It will be some thinking when it comes to the downpipes yes, probably a lot of welding also. But they do fit these engines into 200SX, and that engine room is pretty tight even with the CA18 and SR20.

There is always an option to go single turbo, but that is the last option. I can also go top mounted twins, but then I have to build my own headers I think.

Your car is awesome by the way, admired the youtube videos a long time :)

Yeah just go right beside it, enough room for 3" :) My ic piping is like 40cm long total :D

Im sure you will figure something out! The welder is your best friend :D

Thanks! Your car is pretty sick too!

[Mr. Horsepower]

No problem with ic piping with ABS unit in place, my 3" pipe goes just beside the ABS unit under the head light :)
Looking forward to some pics! Biggest problem is downpipe clearence?

RB into E30s is done down here a decent amount. A lot of engine for not much engine bay.
Plans engine wise?

It is not much compared to the S50. Both have their pros and cons in getting into the E30. The S50 has a hell of a intake and the RB have the turbos. The S50 block seem wider as well.

Plans for the engine is not much, aiming for about 400 crank hp and wide power band for getting the lap times faster.
Some mods will be done, but not much this winter I think. Sorting out the oil problem is priority number one. Getting the Nitto crank collar, N1 oil pump, 1.25mm restrictors, Mine's rocker cover baffles, head oil drain and Tomei oil pan baffle kit.

And some random gaskets and seals a long the way. Maybe bearings and piston rings.

My heart stopped.
This is gonna be exciting as fuck.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

O man that's gonna be amazing

[Mr. Horsepower]

Bught myself a RB26DETT from a R32 yesterday, with a R33 GTS gearbox and all there is to it. Going for a pick up on friday or saturday. Will drop it into the M3 during the weekend just to get a view of what I have to work with.

Excited as fuck actually!

If someone have any pictures of intercooler solutions in the E30M3 with ABS unit installed, feel free to post!

There are a LOT of E30's that is going to run S54 in Norway

[LJ851]

Have been thinking a lot the last week or so. There are a LOT of E30's that is going to run S54 in Norway and I have never fancy to go with the stream.

So, I will probably make a small dream I have had for years come true.
And that dream is a RB26DETT engine!

Norway Problems, LOL !


Keep us posted.
