Rb25de Plus T?

[CATKICKER]

Hi Guys, I know it is probably asked a bit but not easily found...

I was going to be putting an RB20det from my friend's car into my 180. This isn't going to happen in a hurry due to an issue with my mates replacement motor.

My question is this;

I have an R32 RB25DE lined up for $1000 (already have the box from it). Working within a close budget to what I was (1000-1500 to get it in after purchase of engine package) would I be better of going this way rather than looking for another RB20DET?

I know it is a good option if I spend some cash on the motor but I just really want it to be a step up from what it would have been with the RB20DET.

I have AN idea on what is required but it is an internet and hear-say understanding. I know that is all I will get here but can anyone in the KNOW please confirm for me what I would need to do to get it up and going to a point that I could be safely and smoothly getting 180-200rwkw?

(GTST Injectors, GTST AFM, Manifold, R33/R34 Turbo, Turbo Lines, Dump Pipe, and ECU? - anything missing?)

I am not sure if a head gasket is required, what thickness and how much would I expect it to cost me to have fitted if required?

Another main question is would I run an RB20DET ECU? Does it plug straight in, and is it able to be tuned it to suit? (or is another ECU required)

Anything else anyone could help me with would be great so I can make my decision if to get the motor or not!

Any experence or results with this setup would be sweet!

Thanks guys!!

Todd

you will find that turboing your current engine is a better alturnative..
