this started out with such promise and then came the crush bent exhaust rubbing againts wiring and the bmc. I was going to suggent running a remote remote resevoir for the bmc like hondas do but that wont help that crush bent pos downpipe from catching the coil pack wiring on fire.

also you dont NEED a 25 trans. who told you that garbage. granted I have one but you dont need one. i drifted an entire season on a 20 trans thanks. ![]() have bought plenty of motors goob. my point was that you can have an rb25 IN you car for much less than an SR. its possible. all i was saying. also. that awful intake manifold works. you saying that is like saying boo boo bee boo the SR has that god awful head and every bolt hole is stripped! please stop sounding like you know what your talking about. to the OP: nice looking build. I would like to see what you did as far as an "angle mod" |

You must be feeling pretty insecure to be whipping out personal attacks already. I don't care that you "can" run a RB20 trans, it's still doing it wrong. Why would you want to run a weaker, inferior transmission? That is one of the benifits of the 25, it comes with a strong transmission. As for the intake, it IS horrid. I don't care how well it flows, it's an eye sore and a PITA to route IC piping. It will also contribute to hood clearance issues depending on application. |

no not really, all the RB25s ive seen for sale are 2,400+++ for a complete swap. and parts for repair or upgrades are hella expensive, you should know this. -_-

i wont say openly on a public forum. but i bring a lot of business to this company and always gives the best prices. if you are interested in any motors let me know.
i dont see an rb any more expensive than an sr to upgrade or maintain. ok i understand a greddy manifold is 1100 bucks. but i have found deals on all my parts and built it relatively cheap. As a matter of fact my rb25 neo with rb25 trans with splitfire coilpacks cost me 1800 cash. not trying to turn this into a debate thread. i hate no it alls and i hate people who glorify SRs. like they are some indestructible god motor |

Doing an RB25 on a budget is a bad idea.
Ask me how I know. I like this build but... ...I really think you should do whatever it takes to make your down pipe go down instead of to the left. No hate, just really don't want you to hurt yourself or waste your loot. |

Can you stop using the word hater as a defense to people questioning your obviously horrible exhaust set up. Even if that shit doesn't burn your car down, which it will, your engine bay temps are going to be hysterical. Why do you want more exhaust in the bay than you need? You did alot of other custom work, just make route that shit down. I want to know your reasons as to why "it won't catch my coil pack wires on fire." why wouldn't it? You surely know how hot turbos get.

No! Don't lock it! =(
I'm enjoying this build thread! It's inspiring, you're the same age as me and already doing engine swaps and building your own drift car. I really want to start doing the same thing. I'm saving up money and learning as much as I can, and hopefully I'll start as soon as possible. I'd say you just TOTALLY ignore the people who keep bringing up the same issues that you've already addressed (or new ones) and that you keep posting pictures of your work on the car. Good luck! |

It's called criticism dude. You post things for the whole world to look at, not everyone will like it. All I was saying was fix that downpipe. I don't recall any posts where anyone just said mean things for no reason so stop crying and keep building.

i love you guys. make me feel so smart. good luck with the build.
as far as you getting butt hurt with criticism. deal with it. your posting on a public forum. this merica ! its a first amendment right for people to say what they want. you just need to stick to your guns. there's a lot of trolls on zilvia. but they're harmless. ignore them. don't get bent out of shape like your downpipe. seriously. that shit is jacked. just saying. i have made many of downpipes . you will melt your shit. im telling you this as advice not criticism . |

^ I'm assuming you're a friend of his since that was your first post and you're both in Florida?
Ozzy don't stop updating the thread just cause you have guys fighting in here and shit. This is Zilvia. The downpipe sucks yes and you could fix it by making your own manifold that places the turbo further forward, etc....but this build is interesting to follow, I'm curious to see where it's headed. I think a lot of the guys criticizing the down pipe are just fearful of the fiery doom that may await you, in all honesty. Keep on updating
