check NOCO FORUM or R31 skyline club in OZ,they have plenty info and even installation guides with pics.
RB20 with box can be picked up for the price of a SR20 alone,i know....as i have priced,and cus they so "unpopular" they come cheap,and guys are missing a golden oppitunity(to make 350 to 450bhp on near std internals)
good luck mate!

Hey thanks guys on understanding what i ment,
I did mean Stock engine,
Im actually chatting with Rezlo to do the conversion for me, waiting for approximate prices
Just i little thought it seems like its abit easier to get performance parts for Rb25/26 at the moment, unless you guys know better
Some of the Pages iv read indicate that the RB20 is almost like a bolt on
conversion,
But take into consideration
that Andre conradie was doing a 10 second run on his Rb25
