[Dgardi]

Don't go RB20.. go SR20.
There are a LOT more aftermarket parts and it's a little lighter, it'll be a lot less hassle if you go SR.

[down_shift]

RB20 -1

I would go with jhot. there stuff is cheaper. dont get me wrong, jarco is a great place and they have a lot of stuff. mainly front clips tho. i would get an sr from jhot which comes with an sr, wiring harness, and ecu then get a down pipe, and a FMIC and then be done

[1800DialKyle]

the wiring was like 300 and the only hoses you need are i think for the radiator.

why rb25 rb20 is better

sorry man, but the RB20 is not better than the RB25, i know from personal experiance.

[Infinite]

you are a tool, the rb20 is the weakest internally of all the rb motors. not to mention that they make less power, only more torque and parts are damn near impossible to find,

oh and spec clutches suck ass

[FlatWoodsMonster]

why rb25 rb20 is better

:confused:

[v-empire]

hold your horses! i recommend you check out jazzproparts.com first...they dont have any rb20's but they have 25's for 2600....

i know him personally, i believe i posted this somewhere....i even have his home and cell number.

i will not post comments about any business, but if you are interested you may pm.

somebody here needs some guidance........lol, but maybe the right questions will get you more distictive answers. good luck tho.......

[lazyboi444]

Its sad how most of you down the RB20. Yet know nothing about it. (This is to those who know nothing of what they speak of about the RB) You just know what your friends tell you or something you quickly read over that the RB20 is hard to find parts. It is not at all hard to find parts you just pay more for the parts because they isn't a high demand for them as the sr. To be honest i love both engines. You can get the same amount of power out of both. The problem with both is that they both are 2.0 so trying to force more air in either engine than what it can take becomes a problem. So strapping on a Turbo that will yield 500+Hp to these 2.0L is nice in all but there will be serious lag oppose to a bigger engine say a 5.7L with the same turbo will respond alot quicker and spool faster beacuse the engine is much bigger in displacement and can handle as much as air as that turbo is forcing out. So don't knock it until you try it. There a part you can't find let me know and i have my sources to go to and they are in austrailia and shipping is a week from there. I personally prefer the RB20 over the Sr20. But in actuality if i had the money i would go RB25.

[Lone_Wolf]

oh and spec clutches suck ass

why is that?

[JDM Steve]

cause they fail thats y

[Lone_Wolf]

whos got some proof? anyone?

[Lone_Wolf]

I'd take spec over competition clutch

[lazyboi444]

HMMM ME TOO. Nothing wrong with spec. Show me a Spec that has failed either in RB20 or Sr20, RB25, KA whatever cuz i hear nothing but good.

[babowc]

bad reasoning capabilities.

i know you were planning a rb swap, but just b/c of a blown clutch?
how much does it cost to swap it out by yourself?
just the clutch price.

its not hard to swap out a clutch.

it is, however, costly and hard to swap a rb20 in a s13.

anyhow..
make your own mounts ;)
shouldnt be too hard if you got the proper materials.

[seksehowy]

i got spec stage 2 in my car :(, i hope it wont fail.

[Casey]

he already bought an rb20det motorset
and mounts from tophat
hes getting ready to drop it in. next week i believe

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

I think one day I'm going to sell off my SR and get an RB25

[Casey]

:) mmmmm rb25

[Captain Morgan]

Good luck on the RB20 swap, I've done a few. I like them. If you need any help, or have any questions, PM me. As far as making power, I did a small T3/T4 upgrade one time at 14psi with 450's, I made 309hp, and it ran for well over a year before the HG popped, no rod or pistons breaking.

Cap'n
