having too many ideas isn't a good think, focus on one prospect and you will get there sooner. ;) lol

so, what are you selling? I might be interested.

Seriously, I think you have changed direction with this project more than I have...that's not a good thing ;) Why dont you just try to get the car up and running with one of the several engines you allready have, then go from there?

The car is running.... having a powersteering nightmare.I'm doing this because I was going to buy pistons and rods today for my rb20det when I got a email saying that this company would build me a bolt in rb30det that will drop right into my rb20 swapped car for $2500 + shipping, I would need to provide ecu, loom(rb20det), exhaust manifold, injectors, coils, transmission, and turbo.

Lets just say Gaskets, rods, pistons, bearings, rings, pins, studs, bolts, and machining would cost $3500 and this motor with already double power would cost less, so you decide which route to take?

rb25de non vvt. it plugs into the rb20det loom according to this company and utilizes top-feed injectors.

What company? I know I had talked to Louis at DDX about the RB30 before, but it was little more than my goals required.
