that's why when you get an rb20, you plan ahead, make sure that all the mods goin in will be straight with the engine. if you just get one and throw it in there, then good luck to you. it's jdm, parts arent as easy to get unlike the ka, make sure you plan ahead before doin all of it. with the money you use to turbo the ka, you can get an rb20 or an sr20. that's a decision you make

why get a rb20 or sr20 when you can turbo a US engine that in california is LEGAL, of course with the CARB numbers.

are you gonna do the rb swap yourself if so make sure everything is as painless to do as possible. otherwise id go ka. im swapping an sr in my car now and its got its moments when i just want to blow it up. of course im replacing just about every part on it with new parts (reliability). rb parts are hard to find and expensive. but then again they can take some serious abuse. good luck with whatever you choose

right now, im either goin rb25 to eat those v8 mustangs(gotta hae a goal and mines to eat mustangs and camaros, v8 at the least, v6 wont be a problem) anyways, either rb25 or just turbo the ka(when i find a lower mileage DE) turbo'n the ka is, in some ways, better due to the fact that KA parts are all over america, unlike rb's where you gotta get parts across the pacific.
