R32 Gts-t Mod Original Rb20 Or Go With A Rb25?

[335]

Hello

I am buying another R32 GTS-T because the one I have now is dying and would be too expensive to fix. I am wondering if I should change to a RB25 engine after I buy the next car.

I plan on going to 200rwkw and higher with mods. On my car now I have a pod, catback exhaust, RB25 turbo. I have a FMIC that I am waiting to install on the next R32 that I am buying as well as putting on the parts mentioned above onto the next car.

Which would be better at this point and least expensive to use to build up to 200rwkw and higher, the RB20 or RB25?

If I change engines I have to pay for the swap and paper work to make it legal and my road tax with go up higher because I will have a bigger engine.

I live in Japan so finding parts is not hard.

Help please.

Do you plan to race/track the car or is it a traffic light warrior?

If its the later go the rb25 with a GT28 or GT3071 .6 bolted on and you won't look back.

If its a race/track car stick with the rb20 for mid 200rwkw.

RB25 for sure. Best single mod I've done.

rb25 + td06l2 20g and supporting mods , later r32's came out with an rb25de , perhaps you could find one of them and put the later r33/4 rb25det to get past the conversion legalities?

Actually, yes you can, but down here in Okinawa, you could probably through the RB20 center piece between the valve covers and they wouldn't think twice about it. The don't car about whether or not it's turbo, just the tranny type and engine code. Shoot, I just pay $700 for my JCI and it never leaves the driveway There's no way I could even come close to passing with my setup though, so it's kind of my only option.
