Any reason why you aren't going the SR20DET route? That would keep the balance of the car better than a heavy RB20. Maintenence is just like any other car. I change my oil every month, but I drift pretty hardcore. When you put the engine in get a new fuel filter, change the transmission oil, diff oil, spark plugs, and air filter. Fuel capacity is based on the size of the gas tank not the engine. Mods sound good. Basic upgrades are intake, exhaust, fmic, clutch, boost controller, piggy back ecu, rb25 turbo, lsd, etc.
