Do you favor a Rb25DET,RB26DETT, or the 2JZ. Please think about power,parts, and over all cost.

^^^ Whoa.

You forgot LS, VH/vk or VQ. Anyways, all these choices take far too much work for my tastes. SR's or KA-T's will fit my needs just fine. For sub 450hp for the street and occasional track jaunts.

I roughly estimate about $2500 for KA-T fortified block/head internals, $2000 for the turbo parts, $1000 (maybe) for assembly/installation and maybe $1000 on tuning. Total... around $6500. I think it can be done for cheaper... I just round up to pad the budget.

New GT-R motor right?

You guys are are crazy, I was just thinking why would I get a RB when I can the 2JZ is cheaper. Engine is cheaper, fad work is cheaper and parts are more in source. Don't get me wrong I love the the RB but why got that route when I can get more bang for the buck. I all Nissan,Toyota,Honda, and some Mitsubishi engines.

Seriously, what's with Nico these days? I've been here for quite some time, and I've never seen so many threads like this before.
