check NOCO FORUM or R31 skyline club in OZ,they have plenty info and even installation guides with pics.
RB20 with box can be picked up for the price of a SR20 alone,i know....as i have priced,and cus they so "unpopular" they come cheap,and guys are missing a golden oppitunity(to make 350 to 450bhp on near std internals)
good luck mate!

What was the price on that? after reading ur post im not sure sure if the deal was that "cheap" after all.

Hey thanks guys on understanding what i ment,
I did mean Stock engine,

Im actually chatting with Rezlo to do the conversion for me, waiting for approximate prices

Just i little thought it seems like its abit easier to get performance parts for Rb25/26 at the moment, unless you guys know better

Some of the Pages iv read indicate that the RB20 is almost like a bolt on
conversion,

But take into consideration
that Andre conradie was doing a 10 second run on his Rb25

when i was looking for a engine during early last year..the places i scouted gave an average price of +- R7.5k to R8k for engine and gearbox,as they werent selling that well,as compaird to the R12k for engine and gearbox of Rb25

Yes i will

A few Runs......you know me bro once i start i cant stop

Gotta get new brakes before i start running though

Im hoping to run a legal event for time once its done

If it does a 13 sec ill be happy, with all the cost incured
