Quit looking at stats on paper. Talk to some people that have actually had EXPERIENCE with these motors. You'll be so much better off. Stats on paper are nothing. Jesus Christ.

rb20 is garbage, might as well get an essarr while your at it...rb25 is worth it if you go rb at all.

you'd be surprised how much a rb25 cost vs an sr. but after the fact is where the rb is way more money.

i was looking at this when i bought my latest sr, the rb25 motorset was only $200 more than the red top and $100 more than the black top, but cheaper than the s14/s15 vvti blacktop.

i went blacktop sr cause of cost after you buy the motor.

ive been finding rb25 motors everywhere for under $2500 which is not a lot at all but its the fact you have to get custom motor mounts wiring harness all this BS that adds up and you can pretty much buy another sr20 for thats why i havent been looking that hard into the rb25 swap...still for the rb20 you need that same s*** but its cheaper parts then rb25 and the motor is dirt cheap...but i did decide to go with the s13 sr20det redtop and just build it up a little bit before i actually drop it into the car...i would go buy one tomorrow that just had came up here locally but ve made plans to go to Cali few days before the guy posted it up so imma have to wait for something after july 12th
