If you have to ask, you havent done enough research. You can start with what mounts do you want to use and which crossmember.

I used the McKinney mounts with my swap, I thought it went in pretty easily. Probably the biggest problem you will run into is the wiring... I just paid to have mine modded for PNP. You can pm me if you want to pick my brain for any questions.

lol start with mounts then (i say syko performance) then u will need a r33 crossmember to bolt these mounts up 2. next thing would be custom intercooler piping i think phase2 makes a kit next would be wiring which syko does, next we move onto the driveshaft that phase2 has for sale. after that u should be plug and play make sure u get a better clutch change the water pump and belts. u should be good thats with and rb25 NOT 26


oh i forgot the radiator and fans u should be good with the stock radiator u need 2 12 inch slim fans u will have to make custom radiator hoses i believe

You can use your current driveshaft just have it fabricated. It'll be pricey because of the rubber inside the shaft but I imagine it'll be cheaper than a brand new one. Driveshaft modification will greatly depend on what diff you're using aswell.

Be ready to hit your firewall with a BFH... cooling is gonna suck get push-fans and rad.

Do your research, it's not hard but it's not easy.
