Before everyone tells you to search....the RB20DET is very formadable..but some of the parts..not as common.

not as easy a swap.

The SR20 will no doubt equal or surpass the RB20 in power potential. If you really want an RB and to stand out, I suggest you go with the RB25DET. If money is a problem and you still want to be different, the RB20DET is a decent choice. Just remember the RB20DET is also a 2.0 liter just like the SR20DET but with an extra 2 cyclinders and has an iron block (heavier).

use the search funtion plz.

my opinion: if you're going to deal with the extra effort to get an RB in, just go for the RB25DET.

iron block will be stronger. turning up boost?

but liek jsquared says. you might as well put in an rb25 if you're going to deal with an rb swap.

rb20 has a worst flowing head than sr and it has the same displacement. output isn't htat much higher. only advantage i see is the extra 2 cylinders for high hp reliability. rb25 has a great flowing head, 2.5 liters, and inline 6. go with that.
