> word of advice to anyone looking to swap a motor, HAVE A PURPOSE, A USE, AND A GOAL, becuase doing an rb swap to drift isnt practical, doing an rb swap to be different definately isnt practical, and doing an rb swap because you think its faster than any sr style swap, isnt always true, im running basically stock sr and it pulls harder than most rb25 s14 / s13’s

Actually from what I’ve heard and seen, the main reason why people wanna go with an RB series engine is:

1. To say or tell people that they have a “Skyline” engine in their car

2. They want to be ‘Different’ because ‘everyone’ has an SR.

And I can tell you that it is definitely NOT for reliability issues. That’s just pure bullshit. If you spend $8000 on an RB swap, you can have a very reliable KA-T or SR.
