2JZ-GTE vs. RB25DET
#46
Back to the topic...
If you only have $6000, why don't you go with the RB20? You can pick one up for around $2000 and Mod the hell out of it. You have to get an R32 Crossmember and a custom driveshaft for the RB25 and you have to get the crossmember, driveshaft, top-mount manifold or single turbo, and an RB25 GTS-T transmission for the RB26. All the skyline motors have the same sweet straight six sound. Mine sounds basically like a Supra but the Idle is a little lopier and it has an 8000rpm redline. I would get the RB20 front clip, Custom FMIC, Full 3in exhaust, larger injectors, T3/T4 turbo (bolts right up), manual boost controller, and an SAFC. It seems to work fine for me

The RB25 comes with 250hp and the RB20 has 214hp. You could easily make up that 36hp w/ a manual boost controller and still spend about a $2000 less. However, if you plan on modding past 400rwhp, go with the RB25. I know of 2 people (in the states) w/ 240s that have hit close to 850 with the RB25.

Whoa Whoa Whoa......
Im talking about tuned rb's. THEY BREAK!!!
Dont beleive me, i dont care, but im telling you the truth Come to Japan and see for yourself.
I need to make this clear again... There are 2 different cars you guys are calling one... Theres the Skyline and than theres the GTR. They are in no way the same except that they kinda look alike. The skyline has many many rivals, they're NOT THAT FAST.
I would be upset if i lost to a skyline but i am humbled in the presence of a lightly tuned GTR. Im not there yet but I have many friends who wouldnt hesitate to stomp a mudhole in the backside of a tricked out one.

Im gonna guess pistons but im not sure. I dont own the car or know the people who own them but I can tell when they go, there is a resounding "aaawww " in the audience followed by a slight chuckle when it happens.
On a good note, however, many diff's go too
Sil40_Mayhem - You hit the nail on the head
Skylines suck, GTR's are cool.
Drop in the 2J dude thats what I wanna do.... that or a 13b.....
