It a savage conversion...

But i does leave me asking the question... with a mental conversion like that why leave the standard suspension and brakes on it?.... abandoned project maybe???

TBH, I am a bit of a purest, while the conversion looks awesome and I am sure it goes very well indeed, why would you upset the handling of the S15 by putting a RB26 in the front? I would have spent the same money on a stroker kit for the SR20.

That being said, I am sure it would be a rocket ship and worth every cent. A mate of mine had an worked RB26 in his 180sx and said that he couldn't keep traction in 4th in the dry, so I am sure you will need to keep a little aside for new tyres resonably soon after you buy it :p

Car dont need a remap. We checked the fueling & its more than safe. :thumbs:

HOT !!! :D

I bet it sounds as good as it looks..... not sure on the wheels but can easily sort that.

:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
Agree on both counts. But as said wheels are easily sorted.

And why is that a problem. ? Brakes & sus are easy sorted.
RB conversion would be a larger task in my mind.

From what I hear the handling is not upset that much considering the weight of the RB26. A stroker kit on an SR20 is a cool mod but if spending that kind of money you are looking for more power obviously. So if yer a Nissan head wouldnt you run an RB26 to push big bhp & have some reliability.


Personally Id rather have a JZ engine but then again thats me.
