im looking for a reliable motor.something nice with some power behind it and isnt prone to blowing head gasket and spinning bearings..i would to just have a clean freshened up high revving,driftable car and im also thinking about the rb25 but the whole driveshaft thing is to much for me..i have a way to get the rb20 in and for less than 2500 with alot of new parts.
now does anyone know how muchRELIABLE boost i can apply to this motor without pushing any limits i was planning a t28 on 10 lbs just for alittle more power????
also i have never done a real jdm swap before i just know the ka and sr...how do i deal with possible ac and ps..i would like to have both...how do i go about setting up the ps...i can live without ac for a good while??

ive been running 16psi on my rb20, fmic, intake, 4" exhaust on a stock turbo, factory ceramic wheeled turbos cant handle more then 15-16 psi on regular beating
idk why a diff drive shaft would worry you?

my lag is your courtesy head start
ATTENTION.... installing a head gasket, head studs or pistons and rods in your otherwise STOCK engine dose not make it a "built" engine! stop listing you cars for sale saying they are built when its not!!

if you wanted something more reliable than an sr, why buy a rb20? its not only slower, but less reliable. Reliability is being measured not only by how sufficient the car runs, but also the availability of parts. idk why anyone would do this swap. Being that you are 17, save your money while you still live at home, and your still in highschool. Because once you hit real world, you think money is tight now, lol i feel sorry for you. not trying to be a dick. Just save your money at a young age and it will pay off. Dont dump your money into an rb20. might as well flush it down the toilet.
Doesnt see what you did

i did my swap when i was 17, parts for the rb20 are hard to come by and you tend to get raped on price there isnt nearly as many aftermarket parts for it either. If your gonna daily it and only want 230 you could prob just get a t28 and a tune and be done with it.

And it's "you're", not "your". That sig is just a reflection of your stupidity.
