hey everybody, i am new to supra mania, and i was wondering what everybody would think if i put an rb26dett. yes thats right, a 2.6 lt skyline motor. if your just going to talk shit, then dont say anything, but if you are like me and like to go out of the ordinary, then let me have some ideas, or some help. thanks.

Ive seen rb26dett motors. They look like a complicated mess to swap into anything. the 7mgte and 1j motors are perfect for the car and are simplicity compared to that nightmare

how come mk3 and 240 guys always go with a smaller motor when they do a swap? the rest of the car world knows to go bigger, even the silly honda boys, but no, not mk3 guys. their ideal motors are always smaller than what they have.
since so many people go 1j after 7m, what happens when the 1j doesnt work out? 1g? thne what b16? it's the only logical step

??? nissan motor? why? i dunno about the rest of ya... but it just doesn't add up :dunno:

people that do the v-8 swaps use chevys, why not just use a lexus v-8 :dunno:

top secret put a rb in a mkIV:dunno:

r-32's have been 7m powered :dunno:

Do u see where im going with this

One last thing ive seen the 1j/2j swap in newer bmw's on sf, why not just boost the inline 6 that it comes with :dunno:
