I think this race is yours. An RB20 really isn't that impressive in my opinion. If someone was to do the RB swap, I don't know why they wouldn't swap a 6 banger. You have to wind the **** out of that motor to make any power if I remember correctly.

RB20 is a 6 banger, inline 6. all the RB's are 6's. rb20-rb25-rb26-rb30
i had a 95 240sx that i was seriously contemplating doing a rb25 swap into.

You'd get him if he is really only running 10lbs. 10bls on rb20 and stock stuff is about 100hp less than your friend is thinking.

Friend had exact same swap and it was slow at stock boost.

x2 Rb motors are sixes.

I stand corrected. I thought the 20's were 4 bangers. Thats one tiny little 6.

I honestly wouldn't waste my time on a rb20....if I were to drop the coin, and suffer the headaches of a rb swap, it would be a 25, or a 26 if I could find one for a decent price. I would rather stick with a sr...parts are cheap, and everywhere, and they can be fast.

x3 on rb20 being a 6...

OP. You win via rape.

the rb25 is not too terrible expensive, but the 26's are way out there price wise
