RB25DET swap

[trash991]

Hey all,

If you were to swap a RB25DET into a 240sx would it still handle well? If not can you tune it so it'll be able too?

Yes, I hope that some of the more experienced members will be able to shed some light on this situation for you!

i think if you use a good set of coilovers you wont notice much of a differnce between RB and whatever motor you have now.

when you swap in a rb motor the weight difference is minimal. it weighs about as much as a full tank of gas. my rb swap is still siting on the stock suspension, and i can't tell any difference. you can find more helpful info in the rb section. there are some really help sticky's.

hold on people. It really depends on if u keep your fwd sway bar and maybe a strut tower brace. If so it feels a little heavy either way than your standard ka or sr. None the less still whips around easily. I have a daily 240sx with ka and full suspension upgrade and and my rb has no swaybar no tower brace and coil over suspension only in front. Doesn't turn on a dime but i normally use it for track purposes anyway. By the way it's great on the highway for straight away's and the top end is phenomenal.

sorry bean but im re-locking this as its been discussed 100,000 TIMES ON THIS BOARD.

a RB25 does not adversely affect the handling of your car. a tank of gas makes as much of a weight balance change as a RB25. i drove mine on track (grip and drift) pretty successfully without any problems.

please search.
