250hp Standard.

Going to watch this carefully, I've owned a lot of skylines, tuned and rebuilt the engines and done a full conversion previously although not in a seven chassis.

I done a RB25 swap into an S13 about 10 years ago and weighed the motor and box before fitting. From memory the dressed engine and box weighed in over 300kg. 600kg maybe a little optimistic.

With that much torque I don't see weight being a problem.





I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Front inlet plenum arrived this morning
The front inlet plenum usually exits in the middle so this one has been modified

So a brought a r34 standard intercooler vs r33 standard intercooler
Here's a pic comparing the 2

The r34 is a wee bit bigger and a wee bit thicker




A also sandblasted it to give it a clean and then blasted it with air :grinno:

Then hung up to paint




Painted with primer then 1st coat of black
