RB20 swap

[Muffin Man 52]

I plan on swapping an RB20 into my 87 once I get the money. It currently has a CA20 with a 5 spd tranny. I was hoping someone could help me with the wiring harness issue. I'd also appreciate any advice on the swap as far as common problems and tricks to make it easier. Thanks.

Did you even try looking? And the very first page of Exotic swaps, there is a thread about swapping in an rb20, only 13 threads down...

Interestingly enough, there are bunch of people in there that know the question has already been answered many times before in there!

Luckily, Draconis comes in with a save and this link:

If you need any more help or such, let me know.

If I could do it all over again I would go with a 1JZ like David B did.. Better motor all in all.

true...Toyota makes far better stuff

id would love to tray a 7mgte....cheapest 3.0 turbo engine that ive ever seen

7MGTE has problems.

5MGE turbo'd is better

5MGE turbo'd is better

dont forget to torque the headpast FSM recommendations!

if you want a Toyota L6, why not a 1G-GE? Cheap as fuck at the importers.

1G > 7M/5M by far.

Though if your chasing big power, you're better off with a more modern motor. 1JZ non-VVTi with single turbo conversion is your best bet.

1ggte would be friggin awesome....but we dont have many importers here
that thing would cost more than a JZ LOL
