Question r32 swap??

hey guys im new to the 240 scene.... i just bought a 92 hatchback with a couple little mods here and there... i was talking to a couple guys and i got intoa new motor some are argueing the sr20 det and some are for the r32....

For R32 theres the rb20det or Rb26dett. Rb26dett is not even comparable in power. If you got a lot of money laying around go with the rb26. 1000hp potential!

The RB20 will be the most bang for the buck. Around $1800 for a front clip gets you 220HP with alot more potential. You'll be looking at $2500+ for a Redtop S13 and from $3500+ for a RB25/RB26 swap. Depends on the cash your looking to spend. For a daily driver the RB20 or SR20 would be the best choice, go 10PSI, front mount intercooler, and LSD and you'll be a quick as your street tires can handle and then some.

ooohhh noo. The rb26dett is very difficult to have installed but it has been done. Its also an AWD (too bad it wont work on your car) Search on zilvia.net as they have a lot more info on the swap.
