is the rb20 worth it????

[bonestocksr20]

right now i am running a pretty much stock red top sr20det. i love the car. my friend has a stock rb20 that he wants to trade me. i dont really drift or autox so the weight doesnt matter. i am just worried i wont be able to upgrade the rb as eaisly. i have a power goal of 300 whp. is this eaisly acheivable? are the rbs reliable. any input would be nice

Describe the trade ?

RB20 motor for sr motor ?

[StricNyne]

this has been covered many times guys, obviously in the RB section we are going to say RB heh, BOTH motors can make 300 with BPU for around same price, hell SR might be easier since parts are readibly available, the best thing about a RB is the fact that is ia RB, you own a peice of one of Nissans legendary cars, its bragging rights, for not only having it, but when you install it your self you come to appreciate the intricatrices (spelling) of it. honestly i say stick with the SR just for the facts its already installed, in stock form the rb will make slightly more power, but meh

my sr motor set for his. we both have pretty much the same set up walbro fuel pump front mount turbo back exhaust..... i have raced his rb and my sr will out run it at 10lbs but with the ceramic turbo he cant push out more than what he has without a turbo swap

Why go through the hassle? Just keep the SR.

Yeah no **** if you want something diffrent get a SR20VE head and oil pump and get to work.

I've owned an RB20DET and now have a built RB25DET. It's a lot of work and a hassle, and the RB20DET factory turbo is pretty weak overall. Keep what you have and improve it... That's my 2cents.

if you already have the sr just stick w/ it; but doing a fresh swap, i'll go rb

No sense messing up an already good thing.
