JDM ae86 Rb25det motor swap

[romardo]

hi i just bought an ae86 off my homie who had it parked up four years,i love this car i had soo many hondas boosted and all motor n shit.but rear wheel drive is new and exciting for me and i was able to get a rb25 entire motor n tranny ecu n harness for soo cheap i had to try an stuff it in this car. really i wanted some help from as much people as possible who have any experiance with a swap like this

do not put stupid big engines like rb engines in an '86.

man come on to me thats a great swap cause it has tons of power potential n am in the Bahamas were am i goin to get a ae86 motor for the type of cash i have,its only one on the entire island n i own it.trust me i would like to put the upgraded motor in her an run some boost but i would spend way too much money on that

The RB is a very nice engine, but don't forget it will rip apart your differential and driveshafts in stock form! You will need to modify the rear axle as well by swapping either IRS from another car (S13 for instance) or a live axle from another car (H100 for instance).

It would be a tight fit I guess... RB isn't a small engine like the CA or the SR for instance...

NO way you will fit this engine without extensive modification to the body, exterior and etc. Take a look at RB26 AE86 conversion (search on the forums) and you will see that they have to modifie front of the car to fit the engine... And as we all know RB25 / RB26 externaly is exact engines in size...

And im not talking about the rear of the car modifications...

i say go for it man i have a 7mgte in mine and love the power, i really dont feel all the extra weight in the turns she still handles like on rails, hope it goes well for yah

i here wat every one is sayin n shit i respect everyone who is honest,but this swap is like second nature for me my yardy boy is a straight beast when it comes to doin sick ass custom builds,the wiring is really simple cause i have the complete harness,ecu n fuse boxes.trust me to compete over here u either need insane 4clys on crazy boost or cheat and use the straight 6 n shit on boost.everyone who really kicks ass on trac days are n the 180s n skylines,silvias,soarers,and the evo3s i didnt want to shell out 10gs just to be on everyone elses level i wanted to have the best power to wieght ratio so i could come out on top.n the diff shit i will weld it up cause no lsd is strong enough they all break no matter how much they cost.n i have only 6gs to spend max to complete my build

get yourself a decent sr20det, costs less, fits a hell of a lot better, very very easy to modify to 350 bhp and more and due to the low weight of the car you will be as fast as guys with 400kg heavier 180's or 600 kg heavier R32/33 etc.

[romardo]

i want atlease 450hp the sr20 could doit but i would have to spend more and i dont think it would b able to beat a rb26 powered silvia that homie owns the tracs rite now and thats who i want to destroy.everyone on my team is so hype about this project.other than the power plant this is still an ae86 i dont want to stray to far away from that cause the look is wat cost me to fall in love wit this car.

If you seek that much power this engine is a very good choice.

I may have sounded skeptic about the plan but actually I'm really curious about the fitting. What ae86ca18det did with his project was extensive modification to the front to make it fit. You can find his project here:
