waddup ppls…are there any places in/around toronto doing RB swaps into the s14???
check out onijdm they do sick work. and you will be happy with it.
^thanks bro, i’ll check 'em out…i’m not completely sold on the rb swap i’m just checking my options.
hey man I can help you out… I did my swap on my 97 easy as pie… i did the harness and all… I can post pics if you like…
an rb swap on a s14 can cause some weird handling with all that extra weight is in front of the front wheels rb’s…iron block and about a foot longer…for drifting it can make them snappy and less progressive as they lose rear wheel grip unless u move the whole lot back by modifying the fire wall, tranny mounts, shifter location etc etc etc…if u really want an rb engined car buy a skyline…
In My kouki I had a black top SR before hand… then i swapped it for the RB… I honestly Didnt notice Much of a handling change… I had the mckenney mounts and shaft. which place the engine far back and down real low…
But i really think the people that are saying this are just going on what they think and not First hand experience. you get more weight transfer when you fill your car up with gas…
pics of the swap?
yeah those weight comments are bull shit, people act like all the weight is in the like maybe 7" longer part of the engine and that’s bs in the case of an rb25 most of that weight is actually in the transmission where it makes little to no difference at all, and the rest is evenly distributed. yeah there is more weight up front but there are plenty of things that make a bigger deal that the engine. hell a silvia front(on an s13) or cf hood and moving the batter make huge weight differences, nobody bitches that they made the car lighter up front and damaged the balance that way. like was said a full tank of gas vs empty makes a much bigger difference. or even your sub box if u run a system… if u have quality stuff that weighs a ton…
go to SON 240sx.org fins slippery silvia or VHC performance they do an awesome job for the right price.
varun doesn’t like to do rb stuff, check out bscmotorsports.ca lots of experience with rb’s and rb-swaps, and you can be sure you won’t find better fab work.
