SR20 vs RB20?! Which is better?

[Tkdteen05]

Hello! So my question is very simple. I am a total noob to 240's and swaps so I figured I would come here for help. Which engine is best/better to put in a 240? A SR20 or an RB20!? Please help!

[sm0611]

Dude.......you just made two different posts that are almost identical haha. They both have ups and downs. Depends what you want

[Tkdteen05]

Lol I know I couldn't figure out how to delete the other one. I made a mistake In the two engines I wanted to compare

[Khost26]

well id say the sr because out of the box its faster plus its lighter and easier to swap it. But the rb sounds better lol. Just my thoughts.

[Bumnah]

pfffsh. sr20 all the way.

[simmode1]

pfffsh. IBTL all the way.

Fixed.

[numbnuts240]

straight 6 vs. 4 cyl.higher torque vs. higher revsawesome sound vs. ???something else vs. that other thing

the choice is clear, ibtl.

[Bumnah]

sr20 all the way. the rb20 is only useful as a paperweight

There. Fixed.

Please lock this thread. It is clear that the op didn't even make a attemp to search. Wtf it is easy just go to google. For godsake I can't even type in 240sx without sr20 popping up. Go search and see for yourslef

[Tkdteen05]

No I did do research it's just that I wanted personal and current opinions. If your don't like this thread then don't go into it. Simple as that.

[TheBlaiant]

RB20 duh!

Yes good idea to start being a d!ck as a new member to mods here A f***ing + job

Have you ever looked at the space to get to the bolts on the top of the trans on an rb20 in an S chassis?

SR. Even though it sounds like dookie, I'd still chose it because the engine bay is some much roomier.

[Tkdteen05]

Yeah well I never thought of that. Well the more we discuss it te more I am leaning towards an sr20. How much does a swap usually cost? Labor wise?

Rip out the floor and pedal that s*** around Flinstones style.

about tree fiddy. seriously, you didn't search s***. go to google, type in "sr20det install" and i bet you will come up with at least one shop's website that lists their costs for installation.

Better yet, if you look at the top of the screen there is a blinking red search button. Try pressing it and then typing something like SR20DET swap and see what happens. Don't come in here bashing the mods and telling people you've done research.

Try this too: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sr20det+swap+price

IBTL, come back when you're no longer an idiot.

[93coupe]

Anyone want to trade an sr for an rb?

IB4TL

[badbob2121]

another thing to consider in a thread like this is that most people here havent had both swaps.. so their opinion will always be that they swap they have is better....so what im saying really is *sr20det*

[93coupe]

I don't believe that to be true.

[Frankenfourty]

IBTL

[rc1honda]

Isn't the RB20 just a SR20 with 2 extra cylinders and a iron block?...

I would say go SR, same displacement, easier swap, readily avilable parts, and lighter aluimnum block.

Only the RB25's and RB26's are worth the hassel of the swap.

[Gabes13]

Are there any mods in the 240 gen anymore?

[OM3GA]

This is awesome.

[numbnuts240]

sr = stupid ricerrb = ricer beater

rb wins. /thread

*the above post does not reflect the actual opinion of tita. it was just posted to further diminish the quality of this lame thread by instigating foolish nonsense. i wonder what i'm going to have for dinner tonight. i'm all out of fresh vagina. wonder if there's any left at the store. i like south park. wait, what was i talking about again....

[Lev_96_240sx]

I mean you could say that and I suppose with some hard cash thrown at that RB it will be as good as a stock SR. Yea it sounds nice, yea it's an inline 6 but it has less HP and less TQ than the stupid ricer SR. Red top and Black top SR's have 266 NM torque, S14/15 SR's have 275 nm, the RB20 has 264. RB reaches peak torque at 3200 rpm, SR reaches it at 4000. Now, this being stock for stock, why would you pick the weaker engine again? Sure the SR is used by a lot of people, but that may just be because it's a pretty damn good engine.

edit for typo

sr = stupid ricer

I love my stupid ricer.

I loled.

straight 6 vs. 4 cyl.higher torque vs. higher revsawesome sound vs. Better than awesome sound

the choice is clear, ibtl.

FixT.SR>RB20 because only nubs buy base model engines. (rb20 is base model poop)

IBTLSR is cooler because fanboys who ask about your car will get all giddy like omg rly U has SR20? NO WAIII! Serious.

[numbnuts240]

meh, i really don't care about either, tbh. neither of my cars will be powered by any sr or rb (this also includes 25 and 26). my vote goes for a custom rwd b16 setup
