aaah beautiful

my dream 2 summers ago was to build an S13 with an RB25DET in it...
very similar setup.

Someone needs to start throwing 1jzgte's into s13/s14 240sx's. Cheaper and a better engine than the sr20 and rb25

niceee

Says who? Cocky Supra owners?

Owned


1JZ and 2JZ are i think on par to RB25/RB26 engines

and i think sticking to the same company is better and easier

Sure, how much money is an rb26dett?

You can get a complete 1jzgte with everything you need for $1000...

2.5L twin turbo I6 that revs to 8500 out of the box. :smilie_da Definetly a better option than a $4000 sr20det.

True but I gotta agree with Red Liner. Its better if u stick to the same company. Besides just because its cheaper doesn't make it better. Based on what you just said everyone should be putting supra engines in everything and never doing anything else because its too expensive.

fak dat!

Put in an LS1 with supercharger lol

Its not "better" for any particular reason, just more convenient and preference I suppose. But I know what you mean, I would personally do it just to spite the drifting kiddies.

I don't know much of the RB series engines other than the rb26 but I can assure you the 1jz would be a better platform than an sr20. Makes more power stock form, will take more power stock head/block, 2 more cylinders, and .5L more displacement, higer or equal redline, about equal aftermarket support, ect. :smilie_da

And no it wouldnt work in everything, being as how the 240 is rwd already, and the 1j/rb series engines are about the same weight...

Whatever, not saying sr20 is a bad idea or anything, just throwing out more options...I have seen a couple 240's with this swap and they are deadly since they are so much lighter than a supra.

edit:before some fanboy trys to jump on this idea, think twice. Its a good idea but it takes a load of customizing to make work!

Yeah I get what ur saying. I wasnt trying to say its a bad motor. I know its good and that it would perform better than an SR20. I was just saying that sometimes its better to spend a little more cash just to do what you wanted to. Plus an RB26 can make some good power on the stock engine too.

yes rb26 is nice...

I was just talking theoretically. It works in my mind.

I wonder how hard it would be to swap an RB26 into a 240 with the whole atessa system and everything.

^ If it had AWD then it couldn't drift (as easy), then that would defeat the whole purpose of modding an S13 in the first place.

Yeah but who says it has to drift? Just make it a fast track car. Esp if the engine is modded awd would help it put the power down. Just set the torque split to the back a bit more so it doesn't understeer.
