Im very far from an expert on the rb.
Its a cast iron block and you can get alot more out of it then 400.
I think because of the fins on the t28 that the rb comes with its not safe over 14psi.
Ac is a pain and cost a lot of money.
They don't come with intercoolers so unless you get a sidemount for some reason don't worry about it.

Hahaha don't go there. There is a reason its so cheep. There are alot of sponsors on nico that you can trust.
Those are 2 different motors... The awd one is an rb26 and rb26s are awd. Rb25s are rwd. Read close.
you have a lot to learn. I wouldn't' suggest you invest to much hope in doing a rb swap unless you have the money for it. Which is probably going to be around 4 grand just to get it in and hooked up. But im not sure on that number.

The amount of power and reliability you can put down on stock internals is totally dependent on your tune. 400hp is conservative, that's what they rate the rb20 at. As for awd and rwd, it's all about the transmission. The rb25 has a rwd transmission while the 26 has an awd transmission.

you can either buy an RB26 get the trans cedited and swapped with an rb25 trans. or just buy an RB25 motorset.

I would probably never trust a place like that when buying a motor. I have made that mistake in the past. I purchased a rb25 years ago because it was "cheap" came with a rb20 trans, no maf, wiring was hacked, ecu was underneith the motor on the pallet, and the motor just looked like s***. Saving your self a few dollars here will just add up later down the line.

rb25 stock internals can hold up to 500-600hp safely (but that's pushing it)
be sure to get a proper tune as well,
that will make you feel comfortable driving at the least.

for a/c i believe you have to get custom lines but im not sure.
you'll also have to worry a little more about overheating,
which is prolly why people forget about a/c (its overrated)

use the rb25 transmission.
people have done awd conversions though.
