Ford Corsair / Rb Engine

[Brendonams]

Hello, I continue in a frustrating debate with my friend who bought a Ford Corsair for 300$ and continues to tell me that it has a RB20 or an RB25 N/A in it.

This quite pisses me off because I know skylines look really good but if he picked a ford up for 300$ with the same power, it shits me off.

Is there anyway I can proove it's not an RB engine without seeing the car, his pop (A mechanic) said in his quick inspection it had the same engine as my N/A skyline.

Is this possible lol.

(AHHHH It's pisses me off ) xD

Yes i've read it, could of been a mistake of a KA24E, but he is still rpetty firm it's an rb engine.

[PN-Mad]

Then tell him to look at the rego papers at the engine number.....

[Brendonams]

Would the N/A RB25 slog over the KA25E lol, i've seen figures of the KA25E that come close to mine and in a lighter car, as it's a 300$ car I'm guessing it's slogged with no mods....

[The Bogan]

Go to a drag strip and race him for slips

[StevenCJR31]

sounds like your mate is very confused . . . a FWD CA20E is Very different to a RWD/AWD RB. . . the CA was a small port/SOHC cam motor that was more suitable for taking nanna to her lawn bowls and not much else

[Brendonams]

LOL, what about if it has the KA25E, any chance of him being able to beat me if I reverse?

[Super Drager]

Both engines are crap, but in saying that an RB25DE isn't a powerhouse either.

[Brendonams]

Il put a picture of a turbo next to my engine so it gains 60hp

[Super Drager]

an NA Skyline should be in the mid 15's, so it should beat a corsair by a bit. Go to the drags and see for yourself.

[skyline32sup]

Tell the " pop " to clean his glasses

[Brendonams]

Haha, thanks guys xD

[WYTSKY]

you are petty little boy Brendon....

Big deal if it could beat yours, most things on the road can....

Who waves the flag when you guys start your traffic light grand prix?

As everyone has said, go to the drags for bragging rights, everything is speculation until then...

[Tai1or Made]

Did anyone else read that as "pretty little boy"?

[Captain Natro]

yep, read the whole post wondering why wytsky thought he was a pretty little boy lol. re read confirmed my confusion was not needed...

[WYTSKY]

was not saying pretty

I was interested to see if someone had gone to the effort of putting an RB into something abit different like a corsair and thought maybe there was some questions/pics/details about it.

All i find is some kid whinging " it shits me off." "(AHHHH It's pisses me off ) xD " if it were to beat his n/a skyline....

[Super Drager]

Come on guys, we all know that NA skylines are the be all and end all of NA performance cars.

[StevenCJR31]

LOL, what about if it has the KA25E, any chance of him being able to beat me if I reverse?

KA25E? hmmm didnt know about that motor,Thought there was only a KA24E , as used in the states (200SX?)but often replaced by a SR20DET

either way there wouldnt be room in the engine bay of a corsair for a transverse mounted RB25 . . too long
