Thread: RB Into a B13/B14 Chasis

Obviously the are ones that understand the concept of why I made the thread if with you aint going no were do like @Chriscar. not every thread is for every ones like. Would it be fair for does that are interested.

a 383 swap would be easier

Hmmm... This has got me thinking again...

Personally I would NOT put a RB into a B13/B14 let alone a S13/S14. The excessive weight of an RB in the front end would kill it for me. A VQ from a Z car is definitely a more likely/better candidate in my opinion vs. the RB.


Thou a SR RWD has been put into a RHD B13 getting it into a LHD B13 would be a larger challenge I believe. Should you go RB or SR on a LHD B13/B14 you will have issues with getting the exhaust to the back, fuel lines on the wrong side, A/C hoses & lines would have to be one off and a pain as well.

A Mid-Engine RWD SR B13 would be do able, just not fun to work on or service.

...Then again, I do have a B13 in need of an engine currently ... And unfortunately I am one of those SR B13/B14 nuts

Yeah, I was wondering about the LHD vs. RHD issue when I saw that the B13 was RHD in the pictures from the link. You are probably right that it would mean more/different fab work to get this done in a LHD B13 sentra. Thankfully for me I don't have to consider them, as I have no dreams or aspirations of such foolishness.

As far as the mid-engine RWD B13, it would definitely be cool to see. One big problem I see (vs a GSR) is that the B13 is a trunk back vehicle vs. the long hatchback of the GSR that Dave Dunn modified. The again, when we're talking cut and paste, anything is possible I suppose. Like you said, would probably a pain in the butt to work on.

Well, get to work on that mid-engine Sentra then!

Yea like @LAM-PARK said that's another point the whole LHD vs RHD. It's something to think about if anyone ever attempts to re do another build like this RWD B13. @B15NEOVVL you can maybe just use a NX to try doing that mid-engine it is a hatch. I like were the thread is starting to go now. I'm going to compare the differences between RB's and SR's to see of each one which can be a better candidate to put in. Referring to engine size etc. and what would be the most effective way to tackle a build like either a midengine NX or a RWD B13/B14. Thanks @B15NEOVVL for the interest. and thanks @LAM-PARK for the info.

Doing a mid-engine NX would be easier to work on, however you would still need to build a rear firewall setup like a Pantera, Ferrari F40 or other Mid-Engine vehicle.

Stock....leave the car as it was intended!

Don't worry Clean it's all Unicorn crap and fairy dust, the stuff dreams are made out off.
