my RB-240

well, the project continues, started with a KA-T, blew that, now it’s an rb20 in there. drove it for a week, then decided it needs some show along with its go. not done painting it yet, but here’s some pics, let me know what you think.

new luk performance clutch going on

the car should be whit by the end of the week :smiley: a lot of hard work, and a lot of time went into this car. let me know what you think!!

Looks like the motor is looking COMFY

Motor looks fresh.

Could of made the swap look a lot cleaner. Still looks good.

RB luuuuuuuuuve <3

no worries, i’m gonna be re-routing the harness and neatening it up after the paint is on. it’s only been running for a week or so now.

To many people are going the RB20 route now. Time for RB25 lol.

FMIC, dp, elbow and straight pipe 4". You’ll be happy lol.

lol, have to build up slowly to it. the way i look at it, the “GTS-t-240” lol, is just a prelude to the skyline i’ll buy in a few years. or you know, an rb26 powered 240.

too expensive. for less than that I would jam a BBC in an S13.

thinkin about it :wink:

mmmmm drool yeah, i’d throw a 350 at it if i could, but it ends up costing about the same as an rb26 anyways. always thinkin’ about the next project i guess, lol. well, time to get back and finish prepping it for paint.

no no. 350 is SBC…i am talking BBC…454 maybe

lmao, man, i’m not even sure if that’d squeeze into the engine bay. hmmm, it would look nice though, wouldn’t it? did they even make a manual tranny for those?

I would make it fit. Yea, they did make 4-speeds lol

nice… if i dont go RHD for my next car, i just might attempt something like that…and if the price of gas dips down a lil’ :wink:

Yea, that is the killer. Petro prices fucking suck.

I don’t think any one has ever done a BBC S13…I shall be the first. One day. Then everyone will jump on the fuckin band wagon as usual.

BAH.

lol, probably, i’ll let you do it, i’ll just throw a few hampster wheels under my hood. the hampsters will have racing stripes to make them faster though

HA. That would be a little odd. LOL.

Anyways, whats the next big performance mod for your car?

i really don’t know. i think i’ll keep it low power and reliable. i’ll end up selling it in a few months anyways, i usually do, lol. if i did though, it’d be a t-28 and some bigger injectors, with a nice lil’ nismo FPR, and a new MAF, cometic headgasket of course, and ARP headbolts. what about you?

Really not sure. To many projects for me, not enough cash lol.

This year, just gonna let her breathe better with a FMIC, dp, and elbow.

Motor for my lifted s-10 came in today. So my funds will being going to her so I can go mudding again!!! :smiley:

lol, nice! what’re you transplanting in? i forgot about my old cherokee. chopping the top, throwing on a rollcage, pushbar, and a winch. all fabbing it up of course :smiley: what kind of tires/lift are you running on the s-10?

10" of lift with every thing combined. 33x12.5’s right now.

droppin in a built 4.3, should push just over what a stock SBC pushes without the massive fuel consumption! Going to work the final drive and my crawl ratio to get this bitch to climb a house soon:D

wahaat!? man, that’s crazyness. so is this built more for rock trails then? what kind of pressure you running in those tires? man, that thing sounds like it’s gonna be a beast this year.will that engine drop right in, or will it be like the rb into a 240?
