If money really isnt an issue then go RB25. Sounds sick, power is great, and sounds sick. lol, granted the cost for parts are a little more and availability for replacement/upgraded parts are a bit more limited... but hey! Money ain't no thang so get to it!

that all depends on what you want out if it in the end..
SR
Easy swap 2.0 liter approx. 200hp turbo considered a direct swap

Rb25
Med/Hard swap 2.5 liter t28 turbo approx 250-275 hp have to change Fuel pump, mounts, driveshaft, and Rad/fans you cannot use the stock clutch fan with an rb25 the fan has to be deleted so the engine can fit.

well if money aint an issue then get a wiring harness made from one these sponsors over here >>>>>>>>>>
and tuning from a shop that is a certified tech tuner. also make sure they have a guarantee because if they tune it wrong and something goes KA-BOOM! then well your S.O.L. with no guarantee. best of luck with build!
