dont you people do any research, all research done by people all state that an rb20 is a waste off time, in any chassis, if your gonna but an rb series motor in any chassis it better be an rb26dett. So for your i guess poll put an sr in s14 put an sr in anything. its easier to work on, there is a better aftermarket backing behind it, and oem parts are easier to find to. anyways why but a inline 6 that has the same displacement as a 4 cylinder. That really wouldn't make much seens now would it? This is ALMOST a NOOB QUESTION? Come on now where not that new to the seen are we?
 
idk if you know.. but just to put a RB in a S-Chasis, you have 600$ motor mount brackets to buy, and then a 500$ drive shaft and then all the other shit you need motor, harness, intercooler, etc. etc.

just get a S15 SR20 and slap a 5spd trans on it and do bolt ons and save 4000$ for suspension and body kits

Rb20 motorset costs 1400, redtop motorset costs 2300. Both are just as old. RB20 puts out more HP stock. You DONT need a custom driveshaft, only mounts.

Ive read from some rb gurus that doing an RB20 is just as easy as an SR20, if not easier. Wiring is a snap, just splice it w/ the KA lower harness.

There are a bunch of OEM USDM stuff that can be used for the RB20, i cant recall at the moment. Besides, there is a more then sufficent aftermarket for the RB20, ppl who just say there isnt are just being naive.

RB20 gets good gas mileage. Take X amount of HP, now divide it by 4, now divide the same hp # by 6, less stress per cylinder.
 
although i dont like the rb20 i do like the 25 and 26 and the extra cylinders help out alot because a freakin rb25 is only ..1 liter more than the ka but makes more power easier and more eficiently...but w/e im not tryin to make shit loads of power im just gonna get another s13 ca the bitch try to get like 280 300 hp out of it and im happy so long as i have a quick spoolin turbo and the right tunning its enough for what i want it for :bigthumbu

firts off were are you getting those swap prices at WTF, Never seen those prices for any swap deal. Way to much to spend on an sr. You need to buy mounts so that means its not a drop in motor. an rb is a 6cylinder why add the extra weight. if so that means on top of the budget for a motor swap, you need to upgrade suspension, and brakes. Thats if you are going to do it right. The rb is another 350lbs. than a ka. and an sr weights 100lbs less than a ka. you do the math. and if there is such a large parts backing to the rb20 why can't u think of anything. and also we never discussed what year sr we are talking about compared to rb20. even thought the sr and rb20 are just as old. I can still but a S13 Sr20det in 98 were nissan didn't even make rb20 after 94, and if your your doing a motor swap to obliviously make more power with a safer platform why the fuck would you care aboutt GAS MILEAGE. That sounds like a noob comment to me. u know what I would like to see some real infomation to back your comment up on better gas mileage. and an SR can hold 500hp stock bottem end. I would like to see an RB20 do that!

DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TYPE YOUR DUMB COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!

Just put a 1J 5spd. They go for $2500 complete swap, I know shops that charge from $1500 - 2000 for the labor with motor mounts and wiring. On stock boost you'll have 280HP and can hold over 600HP just get bigger injectors and bla bla bla... if you ever blow that motor. 1JZ's go for $600 - 800...

RB20's and SR20 are to damn old and cost to much for the HP... unless it's an S15

Why not an S2000 motor???

if u like penis...... rb tranny breaks (happened to a friend) its $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


sr tranny breaks...............ha...ka....sr bell....done.....


rb20 is a waste of time.....25 is a waste of time...but im not getting into that......if your gonna spend the money on custom mounts and bs, get a 1j and be gay....orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr dont ruin an s13 and get an sr....if you wanna be cool and different ...(lol) get a ca with a 28 i guess on it and svae alot of money.....and rev like a 6 cyl :)....
 
RB20's and RB25's are peices of shit. Don't waste your time. If you're going RB, go RB26. Call up Drag and ask them - they've probably done more RB's than anyone. Build a KA.
