ummm, by aftermarket are you talking motor bits? like pistons, etc??? If so, 99 percent of people don’t touch that shit anyways.
Upgrade bits? All bolt ons are the same for the two in terms of selection. The Nissan Skyline is not exactly a rare car to upgrade.
I don’t see how it’s it cheaper to upgrade a SR.
Turbos cost the same, cams cost the same, injectors cost the same, exhausts are the same, IC’s are the same, what’s more $$$ on the RB? Aparts from slightly more costs on injectors, pistons and anything that requires two more of.
It’s also pretty common knowledge that the short stroke combined with iron block make it pretty effin bulletproof. Dude in Quebec runs 10’s on a stock bottom end.
ah, all motor choice aside, its not the motor that drives you…its you that drives it. make do with what you got. if what you got makes you first place …ima break your kneecaps :):) no seriously
hahahha, it’s also very true.
end of the day, it’s about what YOU enjoy. I enjoy driving my car very much and I’m learning more everytime I get out there. Thanks for the tips yesterday man.
First place, I’ll never be, but anyday that I’m not LAST place, i consider that a win. Have yet to place last racing, and never hope to!
well here are some shi**y night shots of mine…it has finally been delivered and the trade has been made and it now sits in my parking spot…so i am now a proud owner of a 240sx finally!!! taking it to my cousins shop for bodywork…paint…and suspension upgrades…over the winter

Posting up a few pics for before winter/ After Winter
Sorry if it’s a double post (Same pic posted in my garage thread), but here are two I liked from last night. nestled away in the new garage, almost ready for the full teardown/rebuild :D.
Sick picture DarkManX!
Thanks man, I have a dozen more from that shoot.
I like arguing about stupid shit so heres my opinion on the two motors
RB25
- displacement and 6 cylinders
- sounds cool
- very smooth
- head design
- top feed injectors
- gay ugly ass intake manifold
- gay heavy engine
- gay inline 6 configuration means the engine is further forward in the bay
- gay oiling system that is susceptible to starvation under high lateral g
- with stock mounts, engine sits higher…gay
- harder to install
- expensive to install FMIC
- costs more than SR
- gay ceramic turbo
- gay tiny exhaust housing that chokes over 11psi and at high rpm
SR20DET
- aluminum (light)
- I-4, so far back in the bay
- easier to make intercooler piping
- cheaper
- S14 T28 is available for cheap, which can push almost 300whp
- engine is nicer looking
- gay sound
- gay head design
- gay side feed injectors
Overall SR20>RB25
I like
+1
I don’t, cuz the RB20 is a fucking easy install and not all of those points are valid, but I REALLY don’t feel like getting into it again.
Yeah, but he was comparing a rb25 to sr20
