Hey guys, Last week I bought a RB20 Long Block for $75. I was thinking about selling it for more but I think Ill make a NA RB out of it. Any idea where I can get parts for it. Ive only found forums in Austraila.

for the amount of money you're gonna spend to build that engine the power can be sooner had with a turbo.

a cheap turbo set up on there at 5 psi will make way more power then a all motor 20 would ever, edit: for the best bang for the buck the turbo will rape the na, thats a better example

Is your Long Block N/A or is it a DET?

If its a N/A then just put it in your car and wire it up.

If its a DET, your going to have to change the pistons, and maybe cams (NA cams probably more aggressive?)

If not you'll be driving with 8.5 compression and NO BOOST.Horrible!!!!!

Might be good for gas mileage, but it'll have ZERO power. lol
