I saw some places where its cheaper to buy and rb25det than a sr20det, how is that possible , also in all honesty what do guys think is better the rb25det swap or sr20det swat, honest....

thanks

 

i would say the RB25 is because there is more bang for ur buck there when it comes to modding!! although it will take some time and extra cash to fix it when it breaks, if u take care of it, it shouldnt break so there should be no problems! if i had the money its what i would be doing!!

 

What site? If it has RB25s listed cheaper then SR(S13 and S14, S15 SR is more expensive) there is something REALLY fishy.

BTW, RB25>SR(even though the RB25 costs more then most SRs and take some more money to fit properly.)

 

There's some automatics out there pretty cheap, I've sold A/T RB25 clips for $2000 before. If it's a 5sp then Hyjynx is probably right I'd be cautious.

 

umm in no case should an rb25 be less than a sr20 in less the rb25 is blown

 

here is the message from one of those site with rb25det cheaper

Now it makes sense....You would need to but the ECU and Wiring harness, and maybe even more parts(Sensors and etc.)

BTW, is that 2050 Canadian or US $?

 

i wouldnt buy my motor from there chek out www.dragdriftautoX.com they ahve excelent deals

 

its in us dollars, unfortunately...

 

where are you at in Canada? We're real close to the BC Border doesn't get much better than being able to check out the swap in person. We'll have more in about 3 weeks, currently sold out.

 

yeah BTW J-spec is scarry to buy from they sell on ebay and their ebay name and feedback is always new and changing probably to hide the bad feedback.

 

I checked and J-Spec Auto Sports isn't on the Better Business Bureau list like they said they are on their website.

 

Osakajdmmotors.com sells the rb25 swap for 2000. I'm not sure about their nissan motors, but I have seen 3 different Honda motors come from them, and they were all in good condition. The only thing was, their customer service sucked pretty bad. But if you can deal with that, their motors should be alright IMO.

 

ive heard alot of bad things about ppl who have purchased motors at osaka's

 

I heard the only way to get a good engine from osaka is to pick it your self so I'd stay away from them.
