Rb26 in a gts4

[cschepp]

Well beyond the stuff I didn't know I have now researched and found out the answers to all my questions. Thanks for all the help. Rb26 is on it's way and will be in within the month. No more walking!

[cschepp]

Also I would like to know if I will need rb20 motor mounts to accomplish this task. Here is what will be used for the project now:
-26 wiring harness( already there)
-26 motor and trans
-26 rear diff( is this direct bolt in?)

Also this might make things a little easier for me, are the rb20 and 26 awd sub frames the same? If so this swap might take a matter of hours before run time.

On R32 GTS-4, gearbox ratio's match RB20DET. Same with diffhead ratio's in front, rear diffhead's. The 4.363:1 GTS diffhead ratio provide better acceleration over 4.11?:1 diffhead ratio in GTR diffhead's due to being shorter.

The diffhead ratio's have to be the same in front, rear diffhead's.

Driveshaft's are the same diameter.

Also the obvious visual differences when looking at chassis.

Another might be the 4wd ECU's, but have never compared the part numbers.

No worries man, I thought it was just another person trolling a thread. And no I just found that deal for the gts 4 that was already rb26 wired up and couldn't pass it up. Gameplan is within the next month to buy a motor and drop it in so I finally have a vehicle to drive. I would just like to know if I run the 26 diff with 26 trans should I change the rear diff as well? Also well the motor is out would you guys change the turboes? Anyways let me know as I will be tackling this very soon

I knew it was yours!

Hey man,

I have a GTS4 with an RB26. If you have any questions let me know, I can try to help you out. Don't get wrapped up with coulda shoulda woulda. I certainly don't want to start a debate but, having a swapped out GTS4 is far more bad ass then just buying a GTR. It goes way back roots of "hot rodding" a car anyways - there are few people that would actaully do it. Personaly, I think the non-wide body looks better too.

Anyway, as far as the difs go I would use the GTS4. They have a 4.37 ratio where as the GTR has a 4.11. You can really feel the difference. For whatever you loose in top end I can promise you its worth it. I drove my car HARD and never had a problem with the drivetrain... In fact my RB26 spun a rod bearing before I had any drivetrain issues. We'll see how it fairs with the new built 26 thats I'm putting together now... however, I don't foresee any problems.

just buy a gtr

Actually I will need to know this as well! I will be using a rb26 diff for the front so will I have to use the following:
Rb26 front diff/trans/ rear diff in order for things to cooperate properly?

[DJ]

Sorry if im thread jacking but whats the difference between the front diffs?i just picked a built rb26 with a gts4 sump

[DreadedFist]

the gts4 has a gtr drivetrain with an rb20 motor, the transmissions are the same, i have two in my garagae as we speak

The gts4 rear end has a shorter final drive and the transmission has different gear ratios, I believe.

[cschepp]

You wanna sell the shifter part to it? I need one. That sounds good but lastly then I need to know if I will need to use rb20 mounts or if I can just use 26 mounts. The 26 would be better

I'm not worried about the wiring as that will be an easy fix. I am wondering about the tranny and if I need to use the 20 mounts to get it to work? Also is the trans the same? I really need to know
