rb vs sr20det

[haipho123]

im new to all the rb motorsbut im trying to decide to get either a rb20det or and rb25deti have owned a s13 with an sr20det and had all bolt ons possible and boosted at 14 psi i was wondering would the rb20det be faster in the same car with all the bolt ons and boosted to max potential witch is 12psiand how much harder is it to swap a rb20det into a s13 then a rb25det

well for starters....if you say you got a SR Dub with all the bolts on possible...then your way better off with a SR than a RB, sure its a inline 6 but parts take longer to source out and more work to put in a RB than a SR....and if you just wanted to do a RB20DET then a RB25DET afterwards that would just be a waste of time so might as well just go with a RB25 a little bit more easier to source out parts but still got a **** load of time to wait b4 u can get your hands on parts like starters, alternators, and things like that while SR products are very easy to come by now these days since its very played out swap....and for you saying you have a SR Dub with all the possible bolts ons, having a RB would just be bragging rights...so stick with your SR..also if I was you I would just buy a 2.2 Stroker kit for the SR and put a bigger turbo and better injectors and it would be about the same price as a RB25 and more faster

Here's my answer:

SEARCH, read, and gauge your own opinion instead of asking for everyone elses opinion. This has been asked before on every 240 RB forum.

SR will generate better numbers in most cases but the RB is a more reliable motor. Oh yeah, uh search or something

[Nameless EJ6]

Actually, the KA is more reliable than all of them. =p

[themadscientist]

uh no.

[Nameless EJ6]

The KA, the SR, the RB are all reliable motors. So is my weed eater's 2 stroke. Well sortof... it's a bit cold blooded.
