it’s actually a bit less to put an RB in to an s13 if you include the cost of the motor since they’re quite a bit cheaper to buy than an SR20… Also, I’m not sure who the guys on the street are - but I know a few guys down south with rb20’s who’re all pushing more whp than anyone on SON. > [@SHIFT\_KA24DET](#): > > Straight up word on the street RB20’s are Doggs… > > Find yourself a nicely pulled SR29DET motorset from someone reputable and just drop it in there. > > RB’s are too much work for what they are worth. > > With the money trying to get one in there you can take that and spend it into mods on your SR. ---

Cheaper and better? Omg! Mods delete/edit his post. It can’t be true. Blasphemy! But SR’s are t3h pwnz! As soon as you drop em in the s-chassis, they make more stock hp than a rb26! ---

Will the intake manifold for the RB clear the hood of a 240? ---

I _never_ said better. All I meant was that they’re not “dog slow” as a couple of guys so nicely put it. They’re different, probably equally as awesome as an SR… for cheaper 🙂 (to install… gas mileage could also be taken in to consideration… and reliability… both of which could be less on the RB I dont know) //edit// : “for cheaper” was just a stab… it’s not much cheaper if at all so don’t get all excited people. > [@jugs](#): > > [quote=Jammin1911]it’s actually a bit less to put an RB in to an s13 if you include the cost of the motor since they’re quite a bit cheaper to buy than an SR20… > > Also, I’m not sure who the guys on the street are - but I know a few guys down south with rb20’s who’re all pushing more whp than anyone on SON.
