Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys,

Just chasing some info,
im from perth and looking at doing a RB25 conversion on my 60 Series cruiser just wondering if anybody here has any info regarding clutchs, bell housings mounts ect.... or have you done one yourself ....

Cheers guys andrew

why?

Wouldnt the motor struggle abit unless its on boost all the time? Best option would be to use a complete RB30 GQ box, but then you'd probably be better just buying a RB30 GQ (cheap!) and slapping a RB25DET into that

i dont think you'll be able to do it legally, that might not matter to you, but EPA says can only go 114kg heavier in tare weight

60seires tare weght something like 2140kg, and a r33 1320kg

boys from work are trying to convince me to do a 2jz twin turbo out of a supra into my 60 series and it seems like a good conversion to me id be more inclined for that

wouldn't that mean most engine transplants would be illegall as well? Example a fuel injected 5L form a VN commodore into a cruiser/patrol

Has anyone had a 5L on petrol engineered?

I know of a few 350 chev 60's running dual fuel with certification tho i think 80's have to be LPG or injected and running all the emmision gear like cats and the like

so far i found the only way to do it is to put an RB30 i think thats right GQ gear box behind it and the that means having to put a gq rear diff in it.....

so all up i would have a cruiser body on missan running gear your thoughts???

in hind sight i would have coils and stronger diffs?? but then will i be better off just dumping a injected 5l in it???


cheers andrew

Put a 12HT in it. Good power, good fuel economy, easy to fit, easy to get parts, easy to approve.
