.. rethink that one bud

dam man, was hoping it wasnt bearing why not just fix it, the knock wasnt that loud, surely it wont be that expensive to cut crank and install bigger bearings. I would say you might aswell after all the work on the head, RB25 tooooo heavy on petrol man

Shit man, done my motor sleeves and all, started up and block crack behind sleeve. U wanne sell ur motor? $?

Pm's replied, dam emile i know what you going threw not fun at all man, it realy makes me feel like selling her but i cant there's somthing about a SX that you cannot sell no matter what.
Is a rb25 that heavy on petrol?

Here's guys on forum that done swop, best is to ask them. What I do know its much more fun, RB that is. Properly tuned and good ecu dnt forsee poblems. If u decide what to do I might be interested in buying ur SR20 engine. Want to show u some pics of my setup, but can't seem to do so

Besides petrole, in terms of reliable power whats better guys rb or sr

rb is a great stong motor but its not a weekend conversion or a cheap one its gonna be cheaper to strip the motor mic the bolck get the conrods and crank polished if the knock wasnt bad if it was cut weld and polished or just cut and oversize bearings, change your oil pump aswell. sounds harder but a rb conversion is a big swap and the petrol will kill you

for rb swop you will need:
Motor
Greedy style intake mani - stock doesnt clear s13 bonnet
Raditor - different outlets to SR and rb gets hot
Fans as no room for viscous
Mounts and mount brackets
Gearbox or bellhousing
If rb25 box custom crossmember
management
converters for speedo and rev counter.
Prop
wont be able to keep ac
zorst

This is before checking motor, replacing bits like rings, bearing, timing belt, clutch

Best highway fuel con was 10kms/l
Best town was 5km/l

Summary fix SR as daily, for cost of going rb you can forge your SR

I agree with rat!

Thanks @200sx maniac awsome info. I have diktator wasted spark managment,aluminium radiator, two 12inch electric fans, walbro fuel pump,fmic, boost pipes, and i always wanted to go rb25 guys so bare with me please lol.

You don't have cash to fix the sr20 but you got 40-50k to do a reliable rb swap
