Hopefully in a day or so my dvd for the s13 swap will arrive at my home.

I've read up on the rb25 swap, only have one big question.Which is better in ur opinion, doing a crossmember swap, or getting a mounting kit?

Plz a few pros and cons....Also, for as far as u know, are there any differences to swap it to a 200sx compared to a 240sx?

Thnx for the help!

there will be lots of differences between the 200sx and 240sx. I doubt you will be able to find a mount kit for the 200sx. The wiring will also be different on the 200sx compared to the 240. You will have to modify alot of things to make it work. What year 200sx do you have?

Wiring is not my biggest concern right now, only need to know (for now) what is the best option concerning crossmember vs. mountkit.

Im not looking at building a 500ps monster, lets say bout 350ps.

Since im going to the UK this month to pick up a motorbike for a friend, i wanna look into or a halfcut, or a boxed engine.So choice is with a crossmember or without
