for 3k i couldn't pass it up. It a base model. But the swap is well done. Koyo rad, decent fmic and piping. dsm bov, wiring is neat. Runs good. Just needs a fpr due to the 255 and then she'll be a straight shooter.

I have a Florida car, and I think within the next year it's going to be peeling. She's looking kinda like it's ready to go.

More pics of the car and setup. We don't discriminate (too much) against non-KA cars... lol

heck of a deal for 3K.....i wasn't sure about the wheels in the first pic but, after seeing them at a different angle, i like them. Need some spacers but, they a clean and fit the car quite well. Swap is pretty clean too

I thought it was a pretty ballin deal too. I was kinda taking a chance with it at 3k because he hadn't listed it yet. But i figured it was kinda up in the air. I need to get a relay for the fan, and figure out its little misfire issue while in boost. My guess is coilpack's seeing as rb's have issues with them all the time.

Think i narrowed down my misfire issue

Good coil plug the best one on the entire loom

Image
A coil plug that looks like its seen better days

Then found that my 2nd fuel pressure regulator in the rear of the fuel rail had no vacuum signal :? I am interested to see how it runs after the coil harness is fixed.

Yep. Melted plugs and fubard' pins FTL...

Fix that stuff up and let it rip!

I also heard that GM V6 coilpacks are easily adapted to the RB's. But that's all I know. Might want to search if there is a deeper issue.

Ok, so stopped by the junkyard today. All of the j30 igniters were gone so it was kinda a lose (they are a better alternative to the stock rb20's) the one i30 had no tachometer to speak of so again a lose. But i did use my brain power and fix my coil pack harness issues.

My savior originally it had the pins in it, i just removed'em and it left me with an empty connector
Image

then removed the old connector and good as new

Image

Also snagged a factory relay that i am planning on wiring the fan with... hopefully to look factory by using the old AC relay spot in the stock relay box.

Pretty sweet deal for 3k. I would recommend changing the timing belt and tensioner asap if you haven't already.

My friend bought an rb20 swap, and the timing belt and everything appeared to be in great condition. He ordered one anyway to play it safe. He put the motor in and took it for a test drive to taco bell (~5miles from house). The timing belt snapped on his way back. The new timing belt arrived the next day.

I still give him **** about it lol. He ended up ordering a rb25 (engine only) and mating it to the rb20 trans.

The rb20 sounds phenomenal and is silky smooth. I hate that intake manifold and the turbo is blah as well. I would love to have a bone stock (-exhaust, intercooler) rb20 powered daily.
RIP Nate(480sx)...

Well after the harness fix, j30 igniter, and some other odds and ends she still sputters not as bad though. I still need to boost leak test but I think its more likely a coil

Got new gauges oil press/boost and the little air vent pod. Pillar pods are ghey. Pictures to come also picture of the xxr 501s 15x7 and 15x8 +15 think with some coil overs it will be lookin good

Just a little update. T-belts done. New 3row rads done aswell as the ss overflow tank... The tanks sit a little crooked so i shimmed it up a bit, in case anyone is going to buy one. I reinstalled my pusher 12" fan on my rad... no over heating so far... its ran on 12v ign power from the ac relay. Got my old pioneer head unit from my truck in her. The gauges are oil press and boost. Didn't see the point in a WB or anything else im only going to be running stock boost, I don't really trust the factory water temp gauges but I have an infrared gun that says shes pretty much dead on. Still have to figure out the speedometer issue. Put in a ka speed sensor and stll no go, next is to run a wire from the ecu to the cluster.
