RB is a pretty cheap price, hell all those are. Get what you want and make sure it has some type of warranty.

keiglo · 03-17-2010, 01:27 PM

it says at the bottom that the RB20 is a twin turbo. i dont know much about RB's, but after searching just a bit, arent they only single? maybe its a mistake? I read something about people wanting to mod RB20's to be twin turbo, but is that very common? I dunno, i could be wrong

again, i dont know much about RB's. :/

Depending on they money you want to spend the cheapest way would be the SR and the RB swap is hard when it comes to fitment i would recommend the SR swap ....

if you plan on putting in a bunch of money in your engine, i would suggest looking into ls series. If i knew i was going to put the money that i did into my sr swap, i would have gone with a ls swap. More power and sounds more bad ass imo

The cheapest option is to find a running KA. The next chepest option would be to rebuild yours assuming the damage isn't too severe. The next cheapest option would be an sr/ca swap. I'd also be hesitant to buy engines from a company offering prices that low. I'd read some reviews of the particular company before buying.

Depends on your buget! Around how much are you willing to spend ? Cheapest is of course KA just swap it out. SR you will need to buy more parts intercooler , piping , radiator, hoses etc. RB even more parts!

and i have NEVER heard of a TT RB20......and i hass seen some rb 20's before lol

240sx1234 · 03-18-2010, 10:05 PM

Don't know my budget yet,trying to get a idea of prices,I saw the twin turbo on the 20 and it made me feel hesitant to,but I think I'm going to go with the sr since it's almost just take it out and put the sr in,and I am a novice with cars atm and just want get something done before I go to college

kushlivin · 03-18-2010, 10:10 PM
