hey whats up i been reading alot of threads and talked to people bout swapping either a rb26,rb25 or just go with a sr20 redtop. So if i decided to go with a rb26 i would get the mckinney or syko mount kit and leave it sock for now, then later add a tomei gasket kit,CP forged pistons,rods and do work on the head and drop a greddy t78 or turbonetics t67 instead of running it twin turbo. i would get z32 brake conversion,r33 cluster,kaaz or vicious lsd, tein basic coilovers,walboro fuel pump,heavy duty clutch,750cc injectors. Then was gonna get arp main studs,head studs and rod bolts . If i decide to go with a rb26 i would take my time with it and learn more bout the motor and dnt abuse it so nothing would go wrong and tuning it with a aem ems or apexi power fc and just build up the motor.I was gonna first get a sr20 redtop or rb25 and just add bolt ons, but after i get more experienced and everything so can yall tell me what would be best and im saving up to around 12 or more

What are you asking...it appears to be one long run-on sentence.

Are you asking what motor you should swap in?
If so, many will argue its personal preference.

If you are asking for a 'recipe card' for a build...you wont find it here as it again is personal preference.
You may want to do more reading and research as from the post it appears that you're lacking in the technical application of some of these parts and why you would want/need them.
Start with the basics and with engine tuning theory...work your way up.
