ok i have a 89hatch shell waiting for a swap.
Debating on this rb20det on craigslist for $1000! w/ 45k (ka24tranny, full exhaust, fmic)
i would do that no problem but ive heard that rb20s arent worth the trouble. as far as jdm coplications
or
my other option would be just to buy a ka24de for as cheap as possible and start a build.
i love the idea of having an rb but if the rb20 isnt better than an sr20 then whats the point right?
let me know what u think. and if u have any engines for sale id like 2 know
thanks

$1K for the engine is just the start.

Plan on another $1500 for the rest of stuff you'll need.
