It depends which car the engine is coming from.

Blacktops will always be newer.

will its comming from a s13 94 i think the redtop has less kms on it but i need to know if there is any difference power or realable wise or upgades etc

If you’re planning on selling all these engines, shouldn’t you have done abit of research about them first?

This is his research. :wink:

The only difference between the two is the year they were made and
I have no proof of this but the Redtop Pistons have Slotted Oil Leads in
their Pistons and the Blacktop’s have Circular Oil Leads in their Pistons.

Thus meaning the Blacktop Pistons can take more boost.
But not much more like 5 more psi…

Well… on S13s yeah, the blacktop from an S13 is the same as the redtop, the S14 blacktop is different tha the S13 and the S15’s blacktop is different than S14 or S13 blacktop, and not just the turbos moving to T28s…

The FAQ is that way, and just a little further down, you’ll find Google. :roll:

How dare you tell us to research on our own. BAN!

If you can get an S13 Redtop and an S13 Blacktop for the exact same price, then obviously go for the blacktop. Newer engines = teh win.
