I recently bought my first 240sx. Its a 96 s14 SE.. completely bone stock, and an auto so instead trying to find a 5spd swap and building on the stock ka which has 142xxx miles and i want to do a swap. But, im not sure on what to go with.. a SR20? RB20? or RB25? If anyone could help me decide by listing some of the pros/cons of these choices it would be greatly appreciated

Well all the motors you listed are great, but you know whats even better!? SEARCHING! Its great because believe it or not, you aren't the only person who's thought of doing this.

Personally, I would go with the RB79DETTT. Thats just my opinion though.

WHP IS THE QUESTION

SR20 220-650RB25 250-800RB26 300-1000+2JZ 300-1000+LS1 250-1500+

YOU CAN FIT DANM NEAR ANYTHING IN A S14. YOUR BUDGET WILL DECIDE HOW BIG YOU GO.

I really dislike these kinds of threads. Especially since a "what motor is better" thread is against the posting rules.

Also, nobody wants to take the time to list out pros and cons of each motor when they're out there. You have to take the effort and initiative to research them. Nobody likes to spoon feed.
