    You won't find one. It's a downgrade. The RB26 uses essentially the same dimensions so start there for information on how to fit the RB motors.

    have a look see if a rb30 with a rb25 head fits?

    might be a bit too high for the bay tho?

    MAte, i am Mr, motorswap. a Rb25 is teh same block as a rb26 so all ur mounting stuff is the same. thats what im saying to you.

    If you want to start doing engien swaps , espeicall a 25 which is not widely done then dont go looking for a thread that has all the answers. ur breaking new ground man, figure it out.

    Use a combination of information fitting a 26 to a Zed for mounts and stuff and say info for fitting a 25 to a 200sx for ur wiring

    Well I swapped a ca18de into my zed, so it should be similar for the ca18det... I'll ask the mods to put it in the tech section :D :rolleyes:

    at least it will fit easily

    fuel economy could suffer slightly though;)

    Reasonably sure I saw someone on Nico who has done it, maybe have a search there. It's all exotic over there because it's a "OMG OMG Skyline engine! OMG RB POOOOWWWAAAHHHH" :p

    I sure hope this rb25 is built and tuned to the shit house. They're as good as an NA VG in stock form anyway. I've seen commodores go harder. :rolleyes: :zlove:
