Which engines are easier to modify - RB25DET or S15 200SX's?

[Smurf]

I was reading on another website that indicated that a 200SX is easier to get power out of than a WRX. I would have thought they would be similar.

Secondly, how do they each compare to getting power out of a RB25DET?

Also, does the computer severly limit the amount of power you can get out of a RB25DET. This is what a tuner told me and proceeded to try and sell me a new computer for $3k (installed). He told me that the std computer will limit the boost and keep the mixture rich.

Any comments.

If this has been done before, just ignor me.

the sr20 is defiently power productive compared to a wrx . particularly a s15 as they have a great platform to start from such as large t28 turbo , some of which are ball bearing , 440cc injectors , larger afm , vvt . However the s13 sr20 engines suffer a bit from a lack of the above .

the rb25 is certainly no problem to modify , a power fc full replacement computer can be purchased for just over $1000 and you should see 200rwkw with that and the usual exhaust and intercooler mods . Both engines factory ecus will have problems with large amounts of extra power from mods . Best to get it out of the way as soon as possible .

very very similar in term of power output.

once it goes to aftermarket turbo, 2.5 is always better than 2L

But u don't need as much for a S15 to run fast as they are 200kg lighter

what computer yr tuner ask u to buy? 3K sounds he want to rip u off, list yr mod on Force induction section and they will tell u what do next.

If your question is which is easier, they are virtually tha same, however, if you after which will respond better with basic mods - exhaust, filter, bleed valve the S15 will respond alot better than a 33 (and 32 for that matter).
