If you can afford it, definitely have the RB25.

[Oblivion]

rb25 and while you there buy me one too

[55yko]

following on from the PM's, I would recommend the Rb25 but not sure of whats needed in the gearbox department whether it bolts straight on or not.

3500 budget for a rb25?

nope... keep walking... you would ( while its open) replace any worn parts etc on the engine and possibly do the clutch at the same time ( since its all open)

for a rb25 ( + the ecu and wiring loom since the putahs are different) i would be looking at an upwards of 5000-15000

I got a few places to put a quote for me when i was thinking of putting an RB20//25 into my silvia and they broke down what needed to be done and what is reccomended..

they were not to far off each other and yah.. cheapest was 5000 and the most expensive was 15000 ( 15,000 was a complete rebuild + "bullet proofing" + after market gear)

So with your price range get an RB20 and do it right.

+ 1. normally all the wreckers sale for 5G.

I dont know much about the price ranges and acually bolting in the Rb25 but by the sounds of it, if you get a new RB20 and luckily you'll do it right and have some exra dosh over to get some nice upgrades.

Just to give you an idea of cost, Zoom recently installed an 25rb in a 33 for under 3 grand, second hand anything is always a push, he has had no problems yet.

[phatboi2010]

just stick with the rb20 it saves you hassel, and you'll prolly have some money left over for some mods, 3.5 k is a very tight budget if your going for rb25

[r_speedfreak_r]

Be different put in a 20b tripple rotor :PBJ:

[Bunta]

Shane got a low k RB25 for my car for 2k....no turbo but who cares they are crap anyway!

And I can tell you that a R32 with an RB25 is a crap load of fun!

[spin_psycle]

just found out my rb20 is on its way out aswell, dont you need any engineers cert for a transplant?

whats the go with stroking an rb20?

[Keegs]

stoking a 20 to a 24 is more effort than it's worth and it's not cheap anyway! With your budget, just stick to putting in a 20 again. You're going to have to pay someone to take it out, someone to put it all back in....and depending on where you go you'll use up your budget quicker than you probably think. Remeber he's not doing any of this himself....I assume? If you're LUCKY you'll have a bit of left over money for some bolt ons.

[dangerous_daveo]

Can you change the engine yourself?

If not Id be going with just the replacement RB20 is going to eat all your budget.

[Halo a]

to save the money get another good condition rb20 n change by your self. if u having any problems to do juz post up what problems u having n i believe someone in here will help u.

good luck
