I've been roaming the net for sometime - at first I was highly interested in the Rb20det, but then I saw the rb25de - Of course it's weaker than the Rb20, but It's N/A (What I want) I was wondering if you would fall into the same problems with the rb25de as you would the turbo version. Because it's not turbo so of course I wouldn't need EVERYTHING right away. I read most of the 'How to's" But no one has ever really tapped the rb25de, probably because it's not worth it, but I really want to try it.

Also, I'm not choosing these motors because of the price being lower than the rb25 and stuff, but I'm not necessarilly confident starting off with that much power - I kinda want to build it up to that y'know? As I build up - so does the motor sorta deal. The Single Slammer KA was fun for a while but now it's like: "Meh." I'd build that but it's so old Lol, I dont want it to like disentagrate on me or anything so I decided to just get an upgrade. Thats not really important, but yeah is it worth it? Also I know what I WOULD need if I got the rb25det, so now the question now is... what will I NOT need.

Sorry if this is noob or something! I know a lot of noobs get flamed, but I'd prefer to get flamed after I get the info if that's alright? XD

Wouldn't be worth it IMO.

The stock RB25DET doesn't have "CRAZY" power or anything. If you leave it bone stock at stock boost levels the motor is very very mild and drivable.

The R32 RB25DE block is supposed to have siamese cylinders, I have three.
