just about to get a 93' 240 coupe. my bro inlaw lived in oki, japan and has got me all into drifting.



by the way this is a great site!

 

haha first again.. but welcome and have fun it is a great site full of good and helpful info that will come in handy.

 

Welcome to the site!

 

welcome. methinks u'll like it here.

 

i have a question....what do you guys think i should go with...SR20DET or the RB25det? pros and cons of both?

 

What are you looking to dow ith the car? What kind of motorsports, DD(daily driving?)?

For drag racing, the RB25 will be the best choice. SR20 is a good overall engine. If i had the money id probably go for the RB25.

 

again, this type of question (should i get engine A or engine B?), presented in this matter is extremely vague. specifics, man. it's all about the specifics:

- what do u wanna do w/the car (motorsports, show, what)?
**if motorsports, what kind and will weight balance be a factor?
- what does ur budget look like?
- how much downtime can u afford?
- doing it urself, or taking it to a shop?
- concerned about stock parts avaliability?
- what about aftermarket?
- does it need to be smog legal (methinks fmax or somebody makes a CARB legal turbo kit for the KA)?
- which one do u just plain LIKE?

ask a better question, get a better answer.

 

thanks sil40....i see what you mean...lol...i was thinking about a daily driver plus a little drifting/autocros. something i can run the little hondas into the ground with.

do you guys know if the SR20DET will pas a smog?

 

hi

Jerk, please search in the future. SRs will not pass smog

 

no prob. if ur not going for the hardcore track setup, this should suit ur needs:

brakes
- good solid (non-slotted, non-drilled) rotors (think Brembo)
- dot 5 brake fluid
- SS braided brake lines
- good brake pads (Axxis comes to mind)

suspension
- good shock/spring combo (search for recommendations)
- upgraded sway bars
- strut tower braces (front and rear)

drivetrain
- some form of LSD (VLSD, clutch type, helical, etc)

as for power, again, that depends on preference, budget, knowledge, etc. u can do an N/A buildup, turbo the stock motor, or go for a swap. my best advice is to thoroughly research each option and see which is the most viable for ur situation.

as far as beginning/occasional drift sessions, what u have right now is good enough (if it's running, that is). that's right, stock. bone stock.

oh, and seriously, consider searching more. look what i pulled up using "pass AND smog" in the query:

while a lot of flaming doesn't go on here, members do get tired of repetitive, easily researched questions.

 

sorry about the smog question. i'll check for now on. thanks for the replies.

 

Ok, all we ask is that you try and search before you ask a question.
