Don’t know which engine is better to swap into a 92 240sx SE. The car has 226 currently so wanna swap in a new engine before something goes bad. Are there any other engines I should consider? Any advice will be helpful. Also what are some experiences withs these 2 engines. Thanks

SR20 handsdown. RB20 is too heavy and harder to swap and get parts for.

I’d say to go with the SR for ease of swap

Yes SR is easy as pie and easy to get parts for… If your choices are only the RB20 and the red top SR I would go SR…

But if you throw RB25 in to the equasion… I would Go RB25 all the way… Sure its a lil heaver… Sure it uses more gas… sure the parts are a lil harder to come by… but damn… I love those engines… I had one In my Kouki before I sold it. too much fun and gobs of torque!
