rb20, cheap as shit and love the limiter.

sr20
huge aftermarket support
lighter than rb20
better resale

ive had a sr but prefer my rb20, so i would go that if i were you.

Had/have both in silvia's and you cant go wrong with either.

Rb20 will be cheaper to buy but harder to install so it kinda works out even cost wise.

For track work I would lean towards the SR though ....

sr needs no conversion permits if its a streeter...

its not hard to install the rb20 , r33 cross member bolts straight in all you need is wiring done?

just buy some factory turbo partsd + injectors bolt it to your sr20DE and run just above 8psi, tune it safe and itll be fine...seen it done plenty times

de+t is also a decent option if tuned correctly.

if you got a sr20de 5 speed easiest way to switch engine for sr20det same gearbox and stuff but either engine is good cant really go wrong

[Deke]

Stop fvcking around if you are considering a RB20 convo just go the RB25!
Simple!

I was reading Hpi the other day and they rated the RB20 higher then the BR25! *opens up an even bigger can of worms*


If you want to drift it, wouldn't the SR be better? As the extra weight of the RB20 would give it more understeer wouldn't it.

yes but the 25 would be better on the street (better bottom end)and you can rev the tits off of it! Would make a better all rounder IMO!

R32 crossmember and mounts.
Different gearbox x-member.
Custom swaybar
Custom air con lines
non hicas ps pump or modded hicas one, to do properly you should get custom ps lines made.
thermo fans
wire

All little stuff that add's up to the cost difference :)

id go the sr20, less headaches, and they are just as fun.
