RB20 = POS
SR20 = "B16"

RB26 FTW!

I think Levi summed it up about correct.

But IMO RB20 is kind pointless its 2.0 litre which is the same displacement as a SR but it weights more. It might be stronger internally than a SR(?)but if you're gonna build the motor FTW

SR20>RB20

this is the age old argument but the bottom line is: its you're car do what the fu ck you want to it. If you got the loot do a whacky engine swap if you dont w/e and likewise if you wanna turbo or build your KA go for it.

CA KA SR RB LS1 whatever

RB26 swap is not that hard. If i had the money i would do a 26 in a heart beat. Heavy? hahah okay ya not that much heavier. Also you get internals that can take a HUGE beating.

SR20 is cheaper and there are a few more parts.

KA is whatever.
