About the only Rb that will really kill the SR20 would be the 26. The 25 is good but I'd rather have a SR20 over it. *disclaimer* that is my opinion.Kamin wrote:*disclaimer* that is my opinion. i dont care if you like it or not. they make the same power, have the same potential but the RB is harder to get parts for, more expensive parts, harder to get info for. if your gonna have to deal with owning a RB at least get an engine that will outperform the SR20.
SR > RB20
um only a VERY few VERY rare SR's have distributors.Valley wrote:I too must disagree. if i cannot have an rb i'd go CA. I would never touch an SR mainly because i hate distributors and the limitations they imply.
A freind of mine who runs a shop in Tampa used to have a 1977 dodge shadow(made for dodge by mitsubishi) with a 4g63 mounted to a mitsubishi mighty max transmission running it rear wheel drive.....good god that thing was quick,high 11's with a small 16G turbo,a frontmount and just a few other bolton's....it was pretty crazy to see something like that back in 1999.Valley wrote:aye.. i like my angle sensors to only have one way to go in as opposed to 50 ways to screw it up lol : ) if it wasn't for that i would have nothing against the sr bandwagon (save that it is a true bandwagon and all that implies)
then again... i'd take a 4g63 any day over an sr20. say... to bad i don't have more knowledge/tools... that'd be a fun swap with a rwd starion/conquest trans
Yeah... cost is a big part as well. I had mine professionally installed for close to what an SR costs before shipping!blues14 wrote:the only thing I hate about owning an rb20 is that people say 'you mean sr20?' and then you have to explain what an rb20 is. I got my front clip for 1,400.00!!! it was a 91 gts-t type M with 83,000 KM and it runs extremely well. everyone says it throws off your handling, but i cant feel a difference. of course I went from auto to manual and the weight lost from the auto tranny probably compensated for the weight gained from the rb:) Parts availability is the only looming issue i am not looking forward to. i would love to pick up a cheap blown rb20 to have a few spare parts like starter, coil packs, etc..
plus a rb looks waaayyyy more impressive than a little ole SR20
my s70 begs to differ. Nah nevermind it wont beg it will make you beg!irax wrote:V8>I6>V6>I4<I5 any day of the week... any motor can be built to be as fast as you can afford
