How hard would it be to swap a RB26DETT into my Touring?

[bad_manners_god]

Hey guys, I have a friend with a R32 Skyline that is going to "disappear" (long story), anywho, I'll have the complete engine, tranny, diff, axles....etc....etc.

How hard would it be to swap that into my touring?
Would it be worth it to swap it into my touring?

Or should I just hold onto the turbo's and piping to custom it my my M50?

well you'd be the first. SO I dunno, and I doubt anyone else does.

engine ecu turbos ic etc, then figuring out how to bolt it to a bmw tranny, or getting an rb25 (rwd) transmission (or was it oil pan that was differnt?) and a bastard shaft to the existing rear diff.

Prpbably a lot harder than just selling the stuff on the open market to someone who wanted to build a top secret AWD s14/skyline and taking the profits to buy a TCD e34 kit... or two... or three.... or 4...

he wouldn't be the first. it will be really expensive dude. and putting disappeared parts into your car can result in your car being seized if anyone ever sees the serial numbers.

Ah I take it 'disappeared' parts mean 'naughty' parts. Ah well, best not do it then!

Just curious to know why you chose a BMW in the first place. If you want to go fast sell the Skyline engine and plop an LS1 in the wagon, that's a swap well documented.

is it? I've only been able to find it for the e36. do you have any links?

Well, I'm not putting parts into my car with different serial number's I grind them off first obviously.

I didn't reall choose bmw as my first car but it was handed to me and I learned a lot about it and started to like the suspension, handling, and the dirty looks people would give me when i would pass them in wagon over 200.

Wouldn't an LS1 be extremely expensive on gas and the engine itself.

You sound like a real winner. And by "winner", I mean "loser".

LS1 is much cheaper than an RB.

Dude, you know I like you, but installing stolen parts is retarded. It just encourages theft. As someone who has had a car stolen and never recovered in Montreal, that sucks. Don't create a marketplace for that ****.
