RB25DET is it hard to swap into a s13??

[1991ka24des13]

I have a 91 240 and i was thinking of doing a RB25DET swap but im still new to this car and nissan so i was wondering what all i would have to do to drop it in and what all work i wil have to do other then just a normal swap like wiring etc... so if any one could lend me some advice please do!!

get ready to get bitched at for not searching

Well.. ya see.. in the Tech section (where you conveniently posted).. there is a "STICKIED" thread.

A stickied thread is one that is permanently at the top until an admin decides it no longer serves a purpose.

and in that section of stickied threads is one called RB25DET FAQ thread.

FAQ stands for frequently asked questions.. such as the one you presented here.

FUCKIN" NEWB!! hahahahaah

Oh.. and search.
KoukiS14 and Tenchuu have both done RB25DET installs in an s14 and did detailed write-ups.

don't do an RB on your first swap. It is too hard.

If you insist, I am writing a writeup on the swap into an S14. It is for an RB20, but it is the same stuff.

Also, think hard about why you want a 25 instead of a 20. It is only worth it if you are going for mad power. The 20 can do 375 to 400 hp for what a 25 can do 275-300 for. After 400 hp, it is better to build an RB25.

Before you do the swap, DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!! You should not go into this swap not knowing ANY part of it.

I don't follow your logic. Care to elaborate? Where you got your info from? If I were interested in the RB swap, for the difference in cost I'd do an RB25.

I was on hand when s13silady swapped a neo6 in his car.

As long as you have the parts you need, it shouldn't be any problem.

But judging as how you lack the tact to search. I think any type of swap might be too much for you right now.

[MELLO*SOS]

Everything that needs to be said, has been said.

1) Search - this has been covered quite a few times here and elsewhere
2) RB25 is not much more difficult than RB20 which isn't much more difficult than SR20 or CA18.. A swap is a swap and as long as you have the right parts it will work. All the motors fit, physically, so it just comes down to researching the swap and having the right parts on hand.
3) Try reading through this thread (http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/185294)

GL and please upgrade your suspension and differential before attempting or contemplating a swap of any kind

if you have to ask the question you shouldn't even consider it

if you have to ask the question you shouldn't even consider it

words and knowledge to consider

[trsilvias13]

doing a rb25 is a piece of cake (for a shop), which i recommend the route you should take.

[!Zar!]

*cough*ka-t*cough*

I suggest you ask yourself why you want an rb. For a reason other than it not being as common as a sr.

uhhhhhh

.... what? like thread #30 for wanna be RB kids this month? I wanted an RB, but the diffrence was, I just kept my eyes pealed for as much info as i Could get, then did it.
