Re: 82 G-Wagon RB25 Conversion

is it one of those 5 pot Ford turbo engines, looks a mean piece of kit whatever it is! Perhaps it ought to be one of these

Re: 82 G-Wagon RB25 Conversion

Gs are very rare in Malaysia so I was quite surprised to see this one advertised.
It belongs to a local Datuk (Governor) and it's for sale for 50k MYR (£10k ).

Volvo really, derived from an Audi engine. Shame Audi more or less gave up on that development route, the noise is just great

Weird but interesting conversion.

 Actually its a Nissan motor, 24-valve straight six.  Very nice motor.
Commonly used in the Skyline, which also has a RB25T turbo and the legendary RB26TT (GTR - Godzilla)
