Tell me your oppion if i should keep my sr20 or swapp to rb26dett

[red240sx sr20det]

Right now i have a 1990 240sx hatch with the sr20det front mount intercooler, hks bov, hks intake, tannabe 3 inch exhaust, 3 inch downpipe,boostcontoller, and a B&M short shifter i want to sell all of it complete for 4000-4500 its a 13 sec running engine set up. I wanna sell that and my dad has agreed to help pay for me to get the rb26dett should i do it i think it would be awesome the skyline engine could be built to handle so much more i think and do you think it would be easy im doing the swapp myself.

[240DRFT]

it's not the easiest swap, you have to use an rb25det transmission, need mounts and driveshaft(???). I hear wiring it is a *****. It'll be harder to swap than an sr20 but it'll be worth it. I say go for it.

[SoCal_Phixon]

since you already have the sr20 your better off obtaining more power out of that.... i know the rb has a better platform to work form but if your going to buy that concider the amount of money you could of dropped into the sr20... unless you sell your engine now which alot of people will most likely buy and then purchace the engine... just look online for the wiring schematics and your straight... wiring only as hard a s you make it... i went to college to get better at that S#!& and now i have way more knowledge on it..... so trust me get the chematics.. a multimeter and go for the rb25 swap... and good luck.

Your going to have alot of handleing issues with a RB series SR exspecially the RB25/26 setups. IF you decide to go that route, expect to spend $$$ on a new suspension setup as well.

Why bother, you'd spend a ton more and do twice the work to go as fast as the RB swap.

If you want 1 million hp get a MkIV Supra.

[cosmo]

not to be a troll, but the simple fact that this guy misspells "swap" twice, makes me question the fact that he even has a car/of age, let alone one with an SR, w/ mods to boot.

sorry

[red240sx sr20det]

mckinney has the motormounts the rb25 transmission and drive shaft and they do the wiring i want to do it so i have something different and to the guy that questions me having my car i do own it ...so what i like to spell swap with 2 p's and id post my pic but i dont know how. getting back though mckinney has all the parts this website i could find everything i need im thinking ill use the hks drag supsension the set up that cost 2300 bux my buddy is using it on his 1200hp supra.. and if you dont believe it i'll get pics of it. the car is going to be fast then titans.

[nissanrcer240]

What kind of power are you looking to push out? If its around or less than like 600-700whp then I would say stick with the sr20. If your aiming higher, then go with the rb series. Just my $.02

[Cyberkreig]

How did you get this car?

[msaskin]

No offense, but you won't get $4000 for the motor setup you currently have. That's the brand new price of the components.

Motor - $2500FMIC - $750Hotpipe/BOV - $250Downpipe - $100Exhaust - $400B&M - $200Total - $4200

[red240sx sr20det]

alright i paid for the car so. and if it cost that much just for the components then its a pretty good deal for the buyer cause there getting and engine and the components and all of the components are they have less then a 600 miles on them.

[msaskin]

Are you planning on selling the car included with that $4K price? If so, then yes, it's a deal. If you notice the prices I listed, that includes the cost of an engine.

Back on topic; what are you looking for. If you've got a HUGE budget and want insane power, get an RB26, or better yet, just buy a supra. If you want a usable amount of power and aren't on a huge budget, stick with the SR20.

~matt

[red240sx sr20det]

i dont know what my budget is yet my friend got sponsored supposedly for 12 grand told company about me supposedly and they are intrested in throwing me 12 to play with but i dont belive it i told him ill belive it when i see it so if it a real deal ill do the rb and be able to build it some what

[Hijacker]

My $.02

the RB is NOT different, so stop saying that nonsense. If it was so different, why are there conversion kits for it?

The RB is a wonderful engine, but I think it makes an S chassis car too nose heavy. If you're looking for straight line performance, then it's not a bad idea. If you enjoy turning long before you hit the end of the 1/4, I'd stick with the SR.

Besides, you've already got the engine and some mods to back it up.

In response to SoCal Phixon:

Have you ever done auto wiring? Cross platform wiring isn't as simple as grab the schematics and a multi meter. There are some major differences between an S chassis and an R chassis car, and making that harness work with the S chassis will be hard. I know people who have been wiring cars for 20 years and when they hear of doing even an S15 motor in an S13 chassis, they balk at doing the wiring. The guy that wired my car won't touch the S15 harness, and he's an automotive electrical genious.

Are you mentally handicapped? It seems so, and if that is indeed the case, I'm sure there are plenty of organizations sympathetic to your condition that might be willing to sponsor you.

I say go for it!!! :ylsuper

[s13rb25]

People should stop posting on this thread. His swap idea exists in make believe fairy land and it will never happen. I know the kid and his dad, not gonna happen so dont worry about things spelled wrong or the fact that his friend this and his friend that. the supra is in pieces, it doesnt make 1200hp yet if ever and this rb26 swap will never happen becuase hes 16 and his dad wont fund it after just buying him the sr swapped car. just my .02, but from what I know its pretty accurate.

[cnichols]

His dad needs to buy him some Hooked on Phonics instead of cars.

[red240sx sr20det]

aright you guys are funny and Jay yark is that you my dad is going to fund it and it was going to happen but i decided i see to many problmes with your rb25 and dont want the headaches so.. im stickin to the sr20.

[s13rb25]

See you cant even begin the swap cause you cant handle it. If we want to sling mud im all for it. How many accidents you been in? How much work do you actually do on your car? how much of it did you pay for? and yes the 25 isnt the easiest thing but im doing it myself and not buying it done from a shop like you did. All i was trying to say was that your never going to swap another motor into your car, let alone already and that the people who were actually putting thought into their responses shouldnt waste their time. To say that your dad was going to fund it is nice, i wish my daddy would throw down another 10k into a car I already paid to much for, but as much fun as talking is, im out. I'm sure ill see you around. and funny thing is all my headaches will run right with you car, except im at stock boost and side mount. so headaches or not 10-12 pounds and a front mount like you and i win. so stick with the sr and have fun overheating like you did tonight. peace

[red240sx sr20det]

alright the accidents weren't my fault and thats a pretty low blow i could ask you about your incident at school but its done and over with. The over heating problem was due to a plug that was fried on my electrical fans which caused my overheating problem. sorry my dad did purchase the vehicle for me did you buy your own car when you were 16. slinging mud is done and over with i simply asked for an oppion i was all about doing the swapp and it would of been done over winter but everyone is told me all it is... is headaches and my car is plenty fast now im just going to slap a bigger turbo on it and do some other stuff and be done with it hope your not mad about anything talk to you later jay.

[s13rb25]

The school deal wasnt an accident with anyone but myself and miscommunication with the local law enforcement people. I know about your accidents and your overheating problem. Im not blaming you for the fact that your dad helped you purchase your car, I know i wouldnt have my daily driver if it werent for my dad. My point was that you shouldnt talk like youre doing the swap, you would pay someone to do it and that your 16 so its not like your funding this project yourself. The rb swaps arent that much harder than an sr (ive been around both) if you know whats going on and research ahead of time. I'm glad youre not trying to do an rb swap, I want to be the only one around anyways The only point of my first post was to say to the people of nico that you are 16 and not going to swap another motor into a car you just bought specifically for the sr already in it. that was all, and your car is not plenty fast now, no ones ever is, hence why youre putting the turbo on it. Anyways give me a call cause i lost your cell. To anyone who has read the last 6 posts or whatever sorry that its basically a chat with someone who i live maybe 10 minutes from. everyone have a nice day.

[red240sx sr20det]

Sorry Jay as for nico yes sorry that we involved you guys i was truly looking at getting the swap done though and i do want it but im just holding on to the sr20. Jay hope you have a good year in college ill call you sometime this week sorry for any mudslinging and i hope your not mad. Glad we sorted this out.
