  • This vid 0wnz j0o!

  • but what turbo and management? im guessing a gt30 with a greddy ultimate???

  • nice car bor, i have a 280z with a rb20det also and i am making 425 rw hp. chack out my page and chack it out.

  • how much did this cost you for all of it?

  • 2 walbro is a bit overkill IMO. one should be more than enough fuel pressure to feed the rb20 with bolt on's.

  • hey bro how much did you get ur rb20det for and did you have to do any fabrication?

    ...i mite do the same swap on my 240z...

  • how do you make an rb20 sound like that in the high rpm range?

  • @spenceronni7 It just does! Well, 3.5 Turbo back with an Apex-I exaust does that.,

  • how do you make an rb20 sound like that in the high rpm range, im gonna do the same swap in my 280zx

  • what drive shaft did you use? also what rear end? sick car man.

  • BEST CAR EVER!!! :O

  • BEST CAR EVER!!! :O

  • hey how much HP are you getting out of it

    im thinking about doing the same swap

  • @GTec010

    about 300 right now, more to come soon!

  • nice vid and im thinking about doing an RB20det swap in my 260z

    how much HP are you getting out if it?

  • RB20DET's aren't that expensive compared to it's bigger siblings.

  • @betekvs

    The RB25DET is about on par with price. I went RB20DET because I had not seen it before. I have seen Chevy 350's, LS1 and LT1s, SR20DET, RB25DET, RB26DETT, VQ30DE...but no RB20DET.

  • sounds like a beast..... i want...

  • in canada u can pick up a rb 20det complete with harness ecu and everything for like a grand

  • I'd Believe Rb20det swaps are easy if you dont have to customise the mounts ie nissan 89 skyline GXE and pre Rb30 motors you can interchange since Rb20det will bolt on rb30 mounts. With that being said i guess the hard part would be just electircals if that.

  • Sonic mayhem FTW

  • Sonic mayhem FTW

  • I Love it. thats all I gotta say.

  • damn. hey what kind of 3.5" turboback pipe you using?? and will it fit on rb25det?

  • Nice Swap Bro on my Datsun 510 I did a sr swap!!

    I had a 240z 73 but sold it made a few bucks but I do miss it not sure to get the new z or old z with rb26? I would go ask Mike Z shop in whittier for some ideas?

  • Im saving up to get ahold of one of these motors with the 5speed. Any recomendations on where i should get the motor from? and what did you do about motor and tranny mounts?

  • wish we could hear the engine :)

  • How would u put that laud music over the sweet sound of the rb, nice set up though

  • great job keep it up my friend has a right hand drive s30 fairlady and a american 240z hes selling his other one to his friend so his friends giving me his other one and ill have to rebuilt to to my own likings i got a l26 and im about to tune it to a 3.2 stroker man i cant wait ill upload a video on my progress if you dont mind could you give me some info on what you put on your car so i can determine some parts id want to get id appreciate it :)

  • LOL Apex--------------------- I

  • I'm about to put a rb20 into a 1973 240z... so on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard was this to do?

  • yo. i have a 72. stock now but im tryna stick thaat rb20det in it. im around the area as well , long beach..do you know what custom parts i will need like the mounts and stuff. thanks

  • dude, i think i see this car everytime i go to school!!! If this is in Long Beach, right on Bellflower, then I know for sure I see your datsun sleeping on the side every now and then. Specifically, i guess its bellflower and atherton.

  • Looks like Lakewood ca Watch out for the Cops.!!

  • Love your car man...do you know how much your putting to the wheels? I'm getting ready to swap my 240z with a sr20 and I'm unfamiliar with mods since all I ever build was old school pontiacs and SBC. Need a 520hp 383 roller sbc? I need a tuned sr20det :)

  • wow that is a nice car, Z's like yours inspire me to keep mines and finish my project

  • holy shit man nice car, videos like yours inspires me to keep my Z and continue building it

  • i grew up about 2 miles from there.

  • just out of curiosity, did you do the rb20 just to say you did it? a 350 is wayyy cheaper and built properly can run 10s. i know for a fact that rbs are wayyy expensive. but good build.

  • @oscwrestler Somewhat just to do it. It was pretty cheap for mostly everything. Not as cheep as a Scarab but...why dump a chevy into an import? What is the class and fun in that? The imports are made to be different, sure you could even drop an 800HP 2300 TQ desile motor into a Z...but why go that far away from its roots?

  • loverly.

  • nice car bro, dats a smart idea chuking a poweR filled engine in an old man car, BUT LOOKS MEAN THOUGH!!

    Good to hav a car like dat , makes people think tz got no potential but wen it rips ass, MY GOD!!

  • I wish I was rich kid, so I could have toys like that. Nice Car man.

  • Rich... right 10 grand and you can have a real sick 240z

  • Dude that whole setup probly only cost like 10-15k. You don't need to be a rich kid to do that.

  • @sigmapsicharlie

    I wish I was rich too! hahaha, I am poor because my money goes into cars, booze and women!

  • sounds great

  • that song is from Quake 2! haha

  • I SR20DET would be better for a 510. Better fit and still wicked power.

  • hey how is the rb20det? I hear a lot of people saying its really hard to find parts for it and its not worth the extra 2 cylinders for a 2.0L engine. What do you think?

  • I beg to differ, I would prefer Ka turbo power on a 510, sr20's are overrated.

  • Would that engine fit on a 510?

  • The swap isn't too hard, redoing ALL the electrical right now. It is not by the lakewood mall, the test run was by Target off Bellflower Blvd.

  • i love you... O_O. i'm picking up a 1970 mid july. i hope you can help me with my project.

  • the first drive, is it by lakewood mall???

  • is a rb20 swap easy to done or abit tricky?

  • Did anybody see the huge FLAME BALL on 00:33. Killer car dude!!! Shit dats fast

  • sick car. how hard was it to do the rb swap? i'm looking into this for myself.

  • such a badass car

  • wow that's way faster than most rb20's iv seen on here sounds sick when u redline it!

  • rb swaps are too fun

  • How does this compare against a 350 smallblock v8 swap? Whats the major differences?

  • fukin killer car bro!!!! love them nissans

  • What about an rb26 instead? Is it a more difficult swap?

  • It is harder but now that we are keeping the car the plan is to drop in a RB26DETT along with some go fast parts.

  • Tight. I figured you finally sold it! My swap is close to completion, but then I have been saying that for a while now... Either way yours sounds pretty brutal.

  • Wow that is truetly nice

  • are you stil selling this fairlady

  • Yes, and you don't need to smog it. Anything 1974 and before is non-smog.

  • Hey i lived in the 805 on the Ventura ave but moved to bakersfield i am going to try to save up if you have it in like nine months i will buy it how do you smog that beast!

  • What turbo is on it? Looks like it moves very quick!

  • all i have is 1,000 and thats going to go to fixing as much rust as possible

  • 6,500 but the bidder who won may be backing out.

  • price?

  • Ventura. It was a daily driver but I am in the process of selling it.

  • Is it going to be daily driven?

    im in ca to boring stockton u?

  • About 300hp and 280Tq at the wheels.

  • any ideas of the numbers its putting down?

  • It is a 73 also.

  • i am doin the same thing u did except im using a rb25 and myne is a 1973 240z...what year is yours?...

  • Your car is my wet dream. The datsun 240 has such an iconic figure. Way to go broseph.

  • God thats sexy
