A new project in the making????
I don't wanna sound rude but, perhaps you should give your SR s13 some more love and get track time since you already have a built car. What's the use of having a bunch of fast cars that you put a ton of time and money in without proper usage at the track? Building a car should only be done when your previous one is ****ed and therefore: downtime (you need a car to get back onto the track)

I really don't have a whole lot left to do to the SR, I just need an oil cooler, upgrade the turbo, get a turbo timer, get some cams and cam gears. Thats all I have/want to do to the SR.
Most likely, it will be my last major motor swap I'm going to do, once I finish the RB26, I'm not going to have much funds left.
I bet you a hundred dollars that after you're done you will feel buyer's remorse. Sure you'll be the coolest kid on the block with that RB26, but it just isnt practical.

it doesn't matter if I'm the coolest guy on the block, I don't care for that!
I just want to do this swap becasue I want the CHALLANGE!!! I want it for a track car, not for a daily driver it would be near impossible to drive this car on public roads without getting sideways everytime you take off, with the hp I want from it.
I'm not going all out for a 1000hp car, I want more along the line of 500-600hp, no more than that.
I want a nice track car that can keep up with supras and the alike super cars.
Yes, I could build the SR to do that, but like I stated before, The SR is my daily driver I don't want to wreck it, The RB26 is my track car, if it gets wrecked, I'm not out of my daily driver, and I won't have to rely on friends or family to take me to work!
ONCE AGAIN ITS FOR THE CHALLANGE OF THE SWAP, FOR A TRACK CAR, NOT A DAILY DRIVER!!!
My insurance company would **** their pants with this motor, they nearly did with the SR motor. I almost didn't get insurance on the SR 240!

My insurance agent is stupid, he seen my front mount and asked me it was, I tried to give the "its a massive radiator" but he seen through me, and said its a intercooler, but he was cool and said oh well its a motor!
ok, damn you guys, you convienced me to go rb25, plus I found one already, just got to get 500 more dollars!

Anyways, it shouldnt be that hard to have Charles J or maybe Bryan to change your username to RB25DET_240sx. Just think of how much more practical your project is going to be now.

Yeah I fail!!!
HONESTLY... I STILL WANT TO DO IT!!! NO MATTER WHAT
But anyways, I'll give the RB25 a tryout, and when I'm done with the rb25 swap, I'll do the rb26 swap, then maybe a rb20 swap, and a CA18 swap, who knows, I might just have every type of nissan motor swap you can do into a 240!!!
But yeah I give in, actually not to you guys, but I couldn't get any of the importers to get me the motor! I even tried to get 1 or 2 to sponsor me on the motor, they laughed, and said "oh yeah we'll do it, when you give us the money for the motor"

so you couldn't find the motor or a sponser? if your looking for a RB26 i have some friends that own a shop that import..i can get whatever you want...its not about being different or any of that ****..its about doing what you love...i don't give a damn if you put a H22 in it..its yours do what makes you happy..i was only trying to make you understand that its a no joke,expensive, hard swap..thats it..i was just making sure you knew what you were getting into
