And the seller said it had been done in a 240. Would it even work? Seems too big to me.

Acutally on FA someone posted an RB26DETT in an S13 coupe bieng sold for like 30gs or sumin on japanes ebay. I think it is easier to fit the engine in an RHD than an LHD. They even had pics, the car did 10s and reached 200mph i think.

If it was LHD it was most likely an RB25 or RB20.

You can put a RB26 into a 13 it has been done by Akemine engeneering for an American over here. It was expensive but the bitch was fast

I would think this would be a Drag only application, as the cars balance would be thrown Completely off.  correct?  I assume the RB is a bit heavier than the KA or SR.

Remember.. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE with $$$$$.  I've seen a 2jz-gte in a 240..  soo..  After seeing that..
