deciding on motor swap

[Bewst Pewp]

ok...

say you had the money to buy either of these motors but had to install them yourself which would you choose

i can install and modify myself andwith the help of friends but it's not going without saying it'll still be a bitch

a: sr20det black top
b: rb20det
c: rb25det

CA18DET FTMFW !!!!!!!!!!!!

what are you doing with the car ?? drifting, drag, or cruising the mall for chickys

[Nisxsz]

for a s14?...if you want power go for rb25....duh!



jk

[Andy C]

sr. and i did.

[Banzai]

if i had to install it myself i would get the SR cuz it goes right in. if i had a shop do it rb25

but it all depends on what your doing with it, if ur drifting it doesnt matter wat motor, more power makes it easier. i can slide the hell out of my stock ka s14 it just sucks lol. if u wanna go fast get the rb25!

[Lone_Wolf]

sr20

[shawn shawn]

I have heard that rb's in s14's suck for weight balance. But thats just what I have heard.

[badass240]

sr20 ppppooooowwwwwaaaaaa

[Z infidel]

RB20 is cheaper and has the potential for way more power than an SR could hope for. Its also much cheaper than the 25.

[MOOREOFSTEPHEN]

rb25 hands down. i have an sr20 but if i had a choice lol... 2.5 ftw. if you can't do rb25 then sr fo sho

[Zippy69]

I think the biggest factor should be what you are going to do with it and if you plan on upgrading. If you don't ever do anything to it I say rb25. If you plan on upgrades then go rb20 or even sr.

[danger355]

if i had the dough for either one, but had to install it myself?

sr. pretty much plug'n'play.

if it was a project car, aka don't use it very much

i'd go rb25. since you've got enough time to figure out everything

[NISMODUDE1988]

rb20 i had one and loved it

[Casey]

bla bla bla

i voted rb25

its just as easy as an sr swap.
buy the downpipe
get the wires fixed
and buy the freaking mounts....
bolt in swap. just as easy as sr.
oh and you might have to hammer the tranny tunnel a bit... whoptedo
