Very lekka bud ! You will enjoy that RB..
Dump that manifold now already..same as I had, cracked three times in two months. What a mission to get off and fix everytime. I went std. cast modded for external w/gate. No more hassles..

nice looking engine,
ive never driven any car with any engine that makes me feel like the RB does,
what made you decide to go RB instead of build your sr20 further if i may ask?
can make strong sr with the money being spent on the RB conversion, and im not trying to start one of those debates, just stating
i love the RB btw

i like the black valve covers
heres a pic of what mine looked like
