I’m with the owner of the car on this one. He actually likes to turn his car, anything larger would be unnecessary for his desires. This motor is replacing what was a 4 cyl with another. It will keep the balance of the car spot on and give him a power advantage. For what he wants out of it I believe he made the best choice. ---

rb doesn’t weigh much more then a sr20 even still 90% of bmws are built around the weight balance of a i6 motor ---

> [@Viper966](#): > > rb doesn’t weigh much more then a sr20 even still 90% of bmws are built around the weight balance of a i6 motor you cant be serious right? an rb w/ tranny weighs almost 800, an sr is an all aluminum block & head, and the transmissions are about half the size. i personally would go rb, they are deff worth it, the power band is wayyyy different than a sr. ---
