possible to get a RB26DETT GTR into a TA22?	Sat, 14 June 2003 03:52

Just thinking about it...I don't know much about this stuff, but i'm guessing you'd need custom cross member, custom diff, then fuel pump, exhaust, etc. But the engine probably wouldn't fit in the bay at all yeah? Also it's 4wd, so would the whole 4 wheel drive system need to be cutsom, or just a custom or shortened rear diff? It'd be pretty funny seeing that, the car would travel back in time. Dan.

Simple answer is no. However i'm sure this could be done if you had a spare 30k and a lot of time. [Report message to a moderator]

ouch. 30k? U sure, the front cut with diff i could get for 5k...you reckon the custom stuff and labour would cost 25k? [Report message to a moderator]

Re: possible to get a RB26DETT GTR into a TA22?	Sat, 14 June 2003 04:13

where would all the money go? 5k for front cut, including engine, g/box and diff. need custom crossmember, guessing round 1.5k? modified GTR diff or custom diff 2-4k? fuel pump $500 labour 2k? engineering cert $800. So, if it would be 25k, then it would cost you as much as buying a GTR to get it into a TA22? That sucks. Dan [Report message to a moderator]

Labour is the killer. Plus to fit the RB26 you would need majour firewall work, custom front struts, new trans tunnel and the list goes on. [Updated on: Sat, 14 June 2003 04:15] [Report message to a moderator]

So nearly $2000 for a bolt in proposition. The conversion you're proposing is far from that.

I said 1000 for exhaust, you get the front brakes, which are the most imporatnt, could get gts-t brakes cheaper for rear. 2000 for intercooler? It's a front cut, comes with intercooler. once again, front cut...electricals, comes with loom. 2000 for stronger diff i said that too... but yeh about 3k worth of other stuff. Oh well, if i were to plan something like this, i'd get friends to do it, rather than have sum1 rip me off for labour. [Report message to a moderator]

Gianttomato - I know regarding the bolt on, i said MOSTLY bolt on, and that's often with them providing half the parts, not u buying the front cut urself.... So ends up around 400 for labour for a bolt in....but they also do other stuff, like a 2jz into a mk3 and mk2 supras, which requires a fair bit of mucking around. [Report message to a moderator]

Bladerunner, have you done a conversion? Actually, have you even done a tiny iotum of work on a car? Do you even own a tape measure? You don't need to answer any of these......they are rhetorical questions, and I don't care for the answers anyway. It is clear from your original question and subsequent retorts that you haven't the faintest idea of what might be involved. Some of us have been trying to spell it out for you. I shall endevour to do this in a clear and concise fashion. Read this a couple of times till you understand it: This is an enormous undertaking that would require enormous fabrication and modification of *EVERY* system in the original vehicle. Good luck. I hope you get it done for less than $20K. Before starting, talk to the local road authorities and an engineer to make sure this is legal in your state. PS Sideshow, was that this car? There's an idea Blade....talk to the RB26 260Z guy. He might give you an idea. Here's his email. Sinisha_Banjac@bigpond.com.au Here is his car on Fullboost.

GiantTomato, Nickname obviously in gratitude of your brain...Ur an asshole. I was voicing some thoughts regarding this conversion, not attemping to assert some kind of mechanical dominance. I don't know much about cars, that's why i said it at the start of the POST! But you just had to add in some smart ass remarks like 'do you even own a tape measure', obviously to boost your own deficient ego...wat do u think ur going to achieve through insults anyways, get some crappy little 'over the internet' vindication? I'm not even sure y my post offended you? For next time, just don't reply, i didn't ask for YOUR help, and there's obviously others who are willing to respond that aren't upset or attempting to offend someone or put them down.

That's ultimately better than all the other 'speculative' posts thus far. Don't want advice? Simple. Don't post in a public forum. Remember that personal attacks aren't allowed in this forum.

He finds it amusing? Quoting him... Do you even own a tape measure? You don't need to answer any of these......they are rhetorical questions, and I don't care for the answers anyway. Read this a couple of times till you understand it: These suggest more than amusmement, they're sarcastic insults aimed to insinuate some kind of mental deficiency. I've talked to a couple of friends about engine conversions who may have claimed untrue knowledge, ergo leading me to be under some false impressions. Perhaps this forum should have some kind of mechanical exams to become a member, which would prevent people who are unaware of cars to post, as this is obviously an issue. I did create this post to learn, not to be insulted. I have talked to others that priced labour for engine conversions involving RB26's that are way cheaper than 25k, so i was trying to find out a little more about this...That's all. Seriously, like i said, if he's insulted or feels like amusing himself at the expense of others, then simply don't post a reply to my thread, i don't believe there's a need for it. Dan.

an rb26 1/2 cut will set you back probably about 8-10k for a decent one anyway...go for a 1jzgte from asian autos in Brisbane. Will give you a 1/2 cut with everything you need to perform an installation for about $3000..and with 280hp stock...i think thats more than enough to handle...even with that much..you've pretty much gotta strip the car to a shell to do it safely...its not like a supra from factory...you need to upgrade lots of things to insure you dont put yourself at a risk and others on the road...i doubt very much the rb26 would fit in the ta22 bay anyway...check out the 1jzgte ones...they're a tight squeeze! Think seriously before you buy this one...could be a lot of money wasted. [Report message to a moderator]

Bladerunner - there are some pretty simple rules that most people adhere to on these forums, one of which being: "No personal attacks permitted". These such rules were brought to your attention when you signed up to the forums. Please stick to them You asked question on a PUBLIC forum, which inherently makes the question directed to the entire forum community. People have subsequently responded to your question with a resounding answer which was repeatedly brought into dispute. If you have a problem with what people post - please use the "Report to moderator" function and let the moderators deal with it, there is no need to incite people further. Follow the policies listed HERE There is no need for a mechanical exam when joining these forums - heck i joined with almost as little knowledge, but have learned by listening to what people have said, and doing some ground research with engineers, conversion workshops and searching these and other forums. You need to listent to learn dude Guys, play nice! <EDIT: perhaps i used too harsh a word> [Updated on: Sat, 14 June 2003 08:50] [Report message to a moderator]

Re: possible to get a RB26DETT GTR into a TA22?	Sat, 14 June 2003 08:36

Hey, Thanks for the genuine advice. I'm not considering buying a GTR front cut anytime soon, and yeah i like the 1jz's too, although i'd probably go for a 7M-GTE in it's place, just because i like the idea of a single turbo for some reason. The 1jz's probably are more reliable than an RB26 too, if the Toyota reputation is anything to go by; although I can get a decent GTR front cut for about 5.5. I wont be though, i don't have the budget to anyways, unfortunantly. Additionaly, if i were to do an engine conversion in a TA22 to a RB26, i'd just buy a GTR, the TA22's are cool, but not THAT cool, in my opinion. I was just curious as to some of the facets that would be involved in a job like that. Dan. [Report message to a moderator]

Hey, In response to the moderator, I believe GiantTomato instigated a personal attack first, however i'm not going to devote the time to construct an argument proving that beligerant insinuation that insults someone's intelligence is an insult. In terms of me listening, i retorted that i'd ask around again out of curiosity, and I also said - where would all the 20k go? I believe those are responses that did not manipulate the sentiment that the job would be expensive, but are actually questions aimed at learning further, are they not? Dan.

to give you an idea of what conversions are possible and what is vaguely involved with each... here is a quick list: With a TA-22 Celica.... - 2T-G. Bolt in. Dead easy - 2T-GEU. Bolt in with EFI fuel and computer/wiring upgrades - 3T-GTEU. some engine mount mods, brak mods, EFI mods, diff mods - 1G-GTE. engine mounts fabricated, gearbox mounts, radiator moved, severe handling mods, tailshaft/diff mods, efi mods - 1JZ-GTE. firewall mods + everything listed for 1G-GTE - 7M-GTE... wasted in a TA22. add ridiculousness to 1JZ-GTE.. too big, too heavy and would make for the worst handling celica this side of a KE50...

4wd is impossible to have in the ta22...not enough room...if you cut the bumpers and extend the whole front of the car then perhaps you could fit it in if you've got the time and money. its size is around the same as a 7m. I.E too big for that car. [Report message to a moderator]

Hi An RB26DETT TA22 Celica would be a wild conversion. I know that it would not be street legal in N.S.W., But would it be street legal in any State around Australia? I don't think anybody bothers with trying to fit the "ATTESA E-TS"(electoronic 4-wheel torque distributing system) when retrofitting an RB26DETT to an older car(240z, 260z etc). It would be a bit of a mission. -Regards Mike [Report message to a moderator]

ta22 to AWD anything would be a total nightmare - not even worth trying because of the limiting factors of the ta22's bodyshale , chassis , engine bay Etc etc .. I dont even see 30K doing this - as there would be that much custom fabricating involved - thst you might as well make your own chassis - and try and fit a fiberclass ta22 replica shell Over it If you like Nissan gear - try sr20's still a prick to fit im sure - but it is being done - ask Bad22 - hes on the forums here - and is trying this conversion your best bet for bang for bucks is a 3tgte or a 3sgte swap if your budget allows it .. or spend your 30K on a r32 GTR and have it already in there - FACTORY INSTALLED!

The cost is almost a 'how long is a piece of string' proposition.

Quote:

...like a 2jz into a mk3 and mk2 supras, which requires a fair bit of mucking around.

The irony of your argument, is in fact due to forums such as this and US based supra forums, these conversions are reality and have been previously achieved and are well documented. (read: www.norbie.net) A 2j into a JZA70 wouldn't be 'that' much of an issue as compared to other venutres.

HOWEVER, what you have described is something that has never been done, there are no people to consult who have previously completed the work, nor are their detailed descriptions or a photo documentation of the conversion.

Sideshow mentioned

Quote:

incase they run into some problems halfway thru conversion
because its never been done b4 they can charge whatever they want i know i would

And this links back into what i have said above, it hasnt been done, you will be a pioneer for the conversion and as a result there is no precedent set for which to charge you for a complication in a shop. That is where the money will go.

Getting back to the issue of engines, yes it 'is' possible to fit a larger engine, but it will require alot of modification to the structure of the car as noted before.

Its a place to learn, listen to the opinion of others and do some research for yourself, ie. not on forums, to establish what can and cant be done, and a mates word isnt always gospel.

As mentioned above, ask a engineer if its legal, then talk to mechanics and 'performance' shops to gauge their ideas and opinions. There are bound to be some that will say too hard and refuse.

Anything IS possible, it will just cost you alot more if you want it done in some fashion. Plan it, give it time and do some research.

Have fun.

I reckon it'd be tough to fit a RB26DETT into a TA22, let alone a whole GTR sorry, I couldn't resist. The RB26 as many people have pointed out is bigger than a 1GGTE..by a lot, and this requires MAJOR work to fit in a TA22. Its probably closer to an 1JZGTE or 2JZGTE in overall length, and these are an extra couple of inches at least. If you really wanted to do it, I'd seriously suggest running it in RWD, 4WD would be WAAY too much of a hassle. The gearbox from an RB25DET would be a bolt-up proposition to the engine at least, and has internals as strong as the GTR's box. I don't think that this box would fit the tunnel without major mods though, its rather sizable. No one has really harped on about handling, which is usually the the first thing people do when someone talks about putting a big iron block six into a little Celica. I think that puts into perspective how much of a bitch it'd be to fit. Food for thought dude, suck up everything everyone has to say, they aren't saying it to dampen your enthusiasm, they're saying it cos thats the way it is... [Report message to a moderator]

I'm sorry...but he started it Anyways, if you do look at the above post I did...well, a couple above, I meant what I said about it being a bitch, it'd be crazy to attempt 4WD and probably wouldn't be the best result considering the money you'd have to spend. [Report message to a moderator]

In all seriousness, Bladerunner contact that 260Z guy. Or better still, go to a PIARC sprint at Phillip Island (I see you are in Vic) - he's always there - and have a chat to him. You can even touch the car and actually SEE what the $20+K has gone into. His email address again is: Sinisha_Banjac@bigpond.com.au [Report message to a moderator]

i like this guy... yeah go the rotaz son... there only like 1/3 the sive of a rb26, the rb is also alot wider, and i doubt that the the engine would even get between the strut towers... also the inline 6 would be an extreemly tight fir from nose to fire wall... the ra23 celica have a hard enough time fitting 1j's so i can believe how hard it would be to fit a rb to a ta22 (smallets engine bay, correct me if im wrong) buy a ra23, and if you can do t so cheaply fit a rb26-dett get all the custom exhaust pipes, body work, tail shafts, diff's, brakes, suspension, gearbox, piping. then come back and tell us how easy it was...

May I suggest that next time, before posted an idea onto this forum, get yourself a tape measure, measure up the engine bay of the car to want to transplant into, and then go to an importer and measure up the engine/gearbox you want to transplant. Check for width, length, height of both engine & transmission. A lot of conversions get ruled out this way, plus you mightn't get quite so ridiculed for ideas that won't work unless you want to spend more than a house on them. We get a few laughs on this forum from people who don't adhere to this procedure (see above) Now... does anyone know where to get hold of the length (and cost) of the Toyota 5L V12? Want to see if it'll fit into a 280ZX. [Report message to a moderator]
