shut up you idiot. are you also aware that the sr20 is lighter and is just as capable of making as much, if not more than the gay ass rb20’s? the sr20det can’t make 500whp on stock internals? the 4G63 can’t make 500whp on stock internals? before you open your mouth just make sure you know what your talking about

You can have all the power in the world.

I love them both, haha. I have had just as many problems with my 240 as I have had with my rx7. If you take care of the 7 and make sure that the tuning is good, then it will love you back. The rb20det will probably make more power for a lot cheaper though.

Oh when did I say the SR20 couldnt? Read mofo. I said earlier in this thread that the SR20 can make over 500whp. But you obviously dont know enough to know that the RB20 can make more than the SR20. The RB20 is about 130 lb heavier than an SR20, but the block is iron and there are 6 pistons just as strong if not stronger than the SR20’s. Also, if you knew anything about this you would realize the RB20 clip is cheaper than the Red top SR20DET. This has been covered in the 240 forums and SR20 forums to the point they are tired of hearing about it. So I am an idiot for stating facts. You were the one just being a smartass. Sounds like you need to take your own advice.

Also I thought you were a domestic owner from your smart comment. Thus my comparing to the v8’s.

Yeah, an RB20 clip can be found for around $1000. It comes with the T3 flanged manifold so buy a bigger turbo, injectors, and get some engine management then you can hit some much larger numbers.

its not that i didnt know those useless facts, its just that i really dont care. the rb is a waste IMO. people who do it only do it because they think there “different” and want to try and shy away from the SR craze. but either way, when you get ur rb swap done bring it out, i’ll gladly hand you your ass with little knowledge i have about cars and what that knowledge has built. and i also stick to my guns…

rb20 = waste of time

the 5.0s can clearly make into the 400s on a stock bottom end.

my 4.6 can go into the 1000s

a stock 5.0 from 87 to 92 can clearly hold up to 500hp. now above that without a girdle will split down the webbings. its been done many times. stangs stock had 225 and 300 torque. a 2.0 six banger has to have pistons the size of bike pistons if that.
