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.

It's very optimistic mate the engine weights about 300 and the gearbox is 45kg ha ha
it's very optimistic a lot of stuff can be taken off because a don't need it like aircon and stuff

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.

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
