s13 is made to be light...i'd reccomend an SR...MUCH cheaper, possible of the same amounts of horsepower, and after the swap, you'll have some money left to upgrade turbo/components/and make one killer SR!

if you do RB parts are a bitch to cross refrence. Also since the engine is already in the front of the car why try and mess up the weight distrabution worst by putting a heavier engine into the car?!

Awesome guys, thanks, this was the point of this thread. Now, why is it no one here seems the RB25 is a good choice over the SR for an S13? Simply because of weight? If so, how much of a weight difference is it? I would like to make 400-450 to the wheels, so it seemed a better idea to go with the RB so I could run the stock internals for a while. However, if the SR is that much lighter than the RB I will stick with that because I don't really like drag racing.... Thanks for all the input

Oh really.......??? See I thought the limit was about 325-350 safely on the stock block. Well I guess it makes sense to go with the SR, so it seems you guys are changing my mind 
It's just I havn't really seen many people running anything faster than high 12's without a rebuild, while there are mildly upgraded RB25 S13's running 11's and even high 10's on the factory block, so that's what was making me more interested in the RB.... My all motor civic hatchback was a high 12 second car, so I would definately like something with a little more balls

we usually dont like to get into KAT vs SR here.. those threads are usually locked on sight.
They both are capable of good performance per dollar spent.. Try using the search function because we have had this thread 50 million times over
