and with an RB i can make almost couble the HP with half the money u spent on mods.
besides the fact the RB clip costs almost as much

um.. if you're talking about a RB20DET then good luck. they respond horribly to mods. ive seen several examples of RB25's with MORE mods then mine making a little more then 300 to the wheels.... yes very impressive.... if you're talking about the RB26DETT then who the hell cares? its not like you are going to be swapping it into your car anyways. and even if you do you will be spending MORE money putting it in your car then i have spent all together on mods. but if want some obscure pissing contest i suppose i could put a 20B in my car and beat the power figures in the RB $ for $

ive seen a s-13 with a 427 v-8 swapped in that ran low 8's.
i dont know the exact details of the different engine swaps for the 240 but it seems the sr's and ca's are the best bet , i meen can a skyline engine really fit into a 240sx at a reasonable cost. and just for kicks what about an s2000 engine in a 240, same litres and size, and add a vortech centrifigul supercharger, 
but nah that would be just dastardly.
also , does anyone know about the realnissan turbo kit for the ka24e, on realnissan.com, like quality wise, and performance unfortunatly the kit is like 2grand, wich paying that much id just swap in a fresh sr20det

looks like i cought a vein here.
yes the rb25 will crack *** in an S13 chassis and is through out the country.
the biggest mod i'll have to make is a metal headgasket and boost controller.
why wouldn't i know how to get the GTR motor into an S13. i didn't mention the single turbo conversion. thats pretty much common sense to guys who know.
looks like u know

1. i like iron blocks
2. i like to rev high, without breaking rocker arms
3. i think the CA sounds orgasmic
4. i like the sudden onrush of power that the CA provides
5. i like to be different
6. more OEM support
7. i like how it looks like a RB
8. i like how it seperates the idiots (or unknowledgeble SR advocates... ie all the SCC or superstreet readers who are all silvia this SR that) immediately when people talk to me about my car. "yo is that the SR? no? then its the stock engine?"
but i guess the biggest reason is that putting a 13B-REW into the car would be too expensive
