Question SR20DET or RB20DET

i am given the option to choose between the SR20DET and RB20DET. dont know anything about rb20 but i heared u can get more power out of it.. but its not as strong as sr20...

the difference in price iz about $200.

so which one do you think is better and why

You can count on Hyjynx voting for the RB, lol. As for me, I'd say the RB too. Can't say no to those extra two cylinders. You'd prob pump more out of it than the SR. For $200 you'd be getting a monster engine. I'd say go for it.

Arc is right, RB20 all the way.

SR20 and CA18 have a lot more parts out there that are easier to get.

I forgot what oil filter can be used from the US for a RB20...but if you search around for a interchangeability(sp?) chart(I know it's around here) you will find your answer.


BTW, please don't double post...just go back and edit your previous post. Thanks
