@ the end of the day you'd be better off spending your 12k on an R32 and a couple of nice turbo's 8) .

Unless you did the work yourself it would cost a damn site more to fit an rb26 into an R, and make it handle right, it would have to be virtually mid mounted for starters which causes probs with drive train if you want to retain 4wd, and if you don't why not just fit an rb26 into an SX?

well the main reason this engine transplant is a pain in the arse is because the bloody steering rack is in the way :roll:

but thank the the lord for remote electric steering

oh and the propshaft is about a foot long,give or take the odd inch.

what your forgetting is the cossy is a 4 pot and very compact
why waste time and money on cr@p like this like people have said it may wipe the floor with everything but what will be the bench mark as it nither a gtir or a gtr so wont count
spend you time and money on something obtainable and serious
have you every build a tubular front end ?? as this is what youll really need to do

Wouldnt there be to much weight up front with a 2.6 lump?

I reckon 12k would easily be enough to do this job though.

Its only 15k for a 206wrc cosworth 4x4 from Terry pankhurst job done ,

I saw a magazine article in Lax Power about 2 mothes ago and a chap did the full 206wrc conversion including the 206 1.1 and the sierra cosworth donor car for 13k doing all the work himself

Another example is that fiesta mk 6 cosworth 4x4 , i think that can be done for 20k inc fiesta mk6 and siera cosworth donor cars.

My point is fitting a skyline lump in an R must be a walk in the park compared to the work involved with the cars mentioned above.

i think the main problem would be , who is gonna put the thought/preperation/research into into the project ,is it gonna be the person who wants the the conversion or a tuner like Hi-teq who are gonna want paying for all the thought/preperation/research before they even start the job.

If your a dab hand in the garage ie a bit of a mechanic/welder/engineer/fabricator just like a builder who is a bit of a joiner/bricky/plasterer/plumber you could naughty this job for 12k :wink:

very good.

what gives it away is the position of the power steering pipe on the o/s/f wing.

oh and the fact the turbo's are under the bonnet :wink:

Before this gets really silly if you did want to do an engine swap in the Pulsar then I think that a four cylinder engine is the only option unless you want to build a new car. While I'm at it the VR6 is a very compact engine (that's what the VR is all about) and is designed to be mounted tranversely.

If you did want to drop an engine in the best choice would be an SR20VET from an X-Trail. Would be expensive but a VVTL turbo GTIR would be quite nice.

You could also look at the QR25DE which could be turboed. Think that this is just a VVT engine but the extra capacity might help. Don;t know so much about this engine so can't say more than that.

While on the subject of a motor transplant. Why not put an Evo motor and gearbox and rest of driveline in the R and solve the gearbox problem :lol:

Just a thought :wink:

cos you might aswell go the whole hog and become a sad boring c.u.n.t like the rest of them that used to own gtirs and buy the whole car which will probably end up being slower than your pulsar :roll: :wink: :lol:

just ask alan (ashills) :shock: :lol:
