i was wondering and i dont know witch one i should go with i have been think about doing a swap either a 2jz gte vvti or a rb25 im trying to get good power and and easier to make work in the car

Sileighty_85 · 11-09-2011, 09:29 PM

Its your Car, Build it the way you want.

boostman747 · 11-09-2011, 09:31 PM

yes i under stand but im just really not sure what would be a better motor to go with

Dolph_KYAS13 · 11-09-2011, 09:33 PM

if you want it easier to work on the car. id go with the 25.

A.) its already from a nissna
B.) there is only one turbo
C.) it isnt vvti.

but anything is possible just do your homework.

s14j · 11-09-2011, 09:46 PM

go LS like everyone eles.

junn · 11-09-2011, 09:48 PM

Ls ftw!!!!!

240zach · 11-09-2011, 09:51 PM

do you not want an sr?

slydin240sx · 11-09-2011, 10:00 PM

Do not go LS! Fuck the LS S CHASSIS BULLSHIT!

I'd say RB25 or 26. If you can afford it. If not swap the typical SR motor in it.

s14j · 11-09-2011, 10:07 PM

i was being sarcastic btw.

JSimpson · 11-09-2011, 10:10 PM

S14 SR20DET. Cheap, easy, and the lightest motor by far. Plus they make damn good power for a good price and are very reliable.

rbs14kouki · 11-09-2011, 10:11 PM

1/1.5/2JZ > RB26/25

JZ (twin or single turbo)You wont have trouble with the steering shaft in the way of you downpipe , 2.5l or 3l , more stroke on the jz engine = biger torque number

Jz bottom end is bettre , ok flowing head ... Rb bottom end weak with oil drive isue , rb26 head flow +++more ... I saw test on flow beach on both heads

I had 2 rb26 in my s14 and they blew caused by bad tuning !!! They can be good engine but you need to open them up and put big money (ex: crank upgrade and oil pump upgrade)

JZ for you in the two choice you gave !

Flushed_S14 · 11-09-2011, 10:15 PM

Go RB 25...Can't go wrong. Just make sure you do it right or don't do it....oh and make sure your ready to spend cash lol...

RB25's are great, and we have a RB25 mount set/driveshaft here if someone needs one, but they do have VTC

Not nearly as hard to tune around as VVTI, but still variable timing.

memphis180sx · 11-09-2011, 10:39 PM

if u do go rb25 for the love of god go with syko mounts mcikinny is junk

EDacIouSX · 11-09-2011, 11:04 PM

it might be more convenient going with a rb since is nissan. you will already have a lot of other nissan parts laying around in case you need something really dumb though that is a minor thing to worry about and probably not a great argument. RB26 is really rare to see in a s chasis so if you want to be a little bit more unique you can go that route. 2jz's are obviously great engines so this is really just a preference choice.

HPKMotorsports3 · 11-10-2011, 04:07 AM

Drop in a H22 and call it a day then swap your chassis to a EF

^ agreed! i'd do it myself if i wasn't broke smdh. but i have a sr

was in my s14 when i got it so i built t to see whats good. not upset but would've been happier with a 2j... all the parts in my sr to make 550ish would make 1000+ on a 2j. ehhh that will be my next swap

TheXFlames · 11-10-2011, 04:56 AM

Just get a ka24e you cant go wrong with that... lol

theres many ways you can go wrong. theres a reason that sr swaps are most common. easiest by far, it actually came in the car in japan, and easy accessibility to all the parts..you dont wanna be stuck with an rb25 or 26 thats missing one piece that no one has and if someone does its either expensive or jank.

jubee · 11-10-2011, 05:19 AM

All joking aside if you wanna be diffrent you can go with a s2k motor.

just saying!!

the40sondec · 11-10-2011, 05:36 AM

or a VQ out of a z or g35, and on the s2k tip, j32 with s2k trany. if you're into hondas and vtec... im is.
very different to have a j swap under the hood. might even be the first s chassis

usdm180sx · 11-10-2011, 06:10 AM

You have a mind of your own, do your research, grab your balls and make a decision on your own. You don't need approval from anyone but yourself. That's my advice

240zach · 11-10-2011, 01:25 PM

^^ that is very true. do whatever you think is best. and hey if you done like something just pull it sell it and buy another motor you want to try.

Tanuki · 11-10-2011, 01:34 PM

put in a gallo 12.

Zenki_516 · 11-10-2011, 01:59 PM

This is a dumb question. Go read on both motors, find threads on swaps, set a budget and make a decision. Why does someone else need to tell you what is better for YOU?
