Not only is it for the sake of being different, RB’s are almost bulletproof if well taken care of in stock form, and you have much more torque on tap. Weight distribution becomes a problem though. > > I’d say have fun with the KA till it goes, and in the meantime save your money and plan out your swap ahead of time, collecting all the parts you need and such. Makes life alot easier. With an SR swap, you can also retain your stock mechanical fan and rad, saving more money. For the most fun with a tighter budget, I’d say go SR, my friends car is an absolute blast and is pretty damn fast too, and all he has really done is an aftermarket exhaust manifold and a 3" Megan Exhaust. I’d say try to get a ride in a few cars with each swap you are considering, and see which one would suit your needs best. Even b4 considering any swaps, I was planning to jus ride out my KA then rebuild it, get some good aftermarket headers, cold air ext., new exhaust & exhaust manifold and thats it … that wud be one lil project … if not that then id consider the SR swap (which ive been thinking about for most of the time then a RB25 swap (the SR would def be better for my budget & id still get a good kick out of too) … So ur buddy has an SR & has the aftermarket exhaust manifold & 3" Megan exhaust done to it and thats it? how fast is his car? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rb25det-240sx-swap/113976)._
