Hey whats up guys. I have been drifting with my ca18det engine in the s13. Its an amazing engine but I got an offer to trade for an Rb20. I was wondering how well an s13 drifts with the rb20. My greatest fear is that It will be front heavy and it will have too much oversteer. So if any of you guys have the s13 rb20 setup and drift tell me how it is. Thanks!

i had tons of fun in my rb20 s13.it drifted just fine, you may find it a touch nose heavy going from the ca to the rb but if you can drive and feel the car then you should be able to compensate.

If you are starting with a CA... unless your CA is about to let go... I'd keep the CA. If the case were presented to me (have a RB20 and someone offered a CA) I would feel the same... keep the RB.

Man its a tough decision. Because the rb i could get is MINES tuned and has nearly 38,000 miles on it.
